Parents and children

In many homes, today, children and parents dri� apart.

But there is a way to reach the child’s heart.

Talking to them, coming halfway to their level

There are things that they don’t know which parents can tell.

They will only believe in themselves if you do.

They inherit their ways and habits from you.

At least try to understand their ways.

This is not the olden days.

Adults have experienced a lot,

and they think children have not.

Times are changing all the �me.

If parents would realise this, parents and children would get on fine.
