How many of you think that self-defense (karate etc) should become a mandatory part of education, right from elementary schools , because I think this is the only way to somewhat deal with rising no.of crime cases against women. Agreed that kids of smaller age cannot fight back but they should be taught techniques to deal with such heinous crimes? When police or anybody else cannot safe guard us or provide protection, we should take it up by ourselves. What say?

but there are always chances of misuse of such machines. if such types of machines easily available in market, people will buy to do something wrong.
learning martial arts is good for women self defence, but there is a need to change the mentality of men in the society. The men who misbehaves or do wrong with women is from the society itself, they are not from a different world.


The first one is easier and the latter one changing the mentality of men sounds impossible in the present scenario.
This behavioral issues are ingrown in some men. It is something to do with their upbringing and their surroundings. They have this mentality that they can suppress women and can get away with everything they do. They do not have fear or a basic sense of care or respect for woman. I think it is something to do with their childhood incidents also where they have seen their fathers or other male members of the family misbehaving with the women in the family or oppressing them.
Oh its really shocking, but you see little kids like 4-year old know nothing and really understand nothing but they are just imitating. This is a classic example how careful, cautious and responsible we parents should be.


To be on safe side parents should behave themselves in the presence of a kid even if it's a toddler.
Yes true. It is best to avoid heated conversations in front of the kids because you are not setting a good example.
Quarreling parents should remember that a child starts taking sides in an atmosphere where parents quarrel. Depending on the context, the child thinks that one of the parents is dominating other.
Yes, both of you are true to the core. My toddler is a live example of learning by imitating things. I now have to be very sure and careful of what and how I behave in my toddler's presence..so that she apes the right behavior. I am sure most parents do the same.


On the contrary most parents do not do it. Many parents underestimate the intelligence of a child. They think behaving badly or oddly before a child goes unnoticed. It's wrong thinking.



May be, but I think parents are the first teachers, so it is our moral obligation to teach our babies the correct thing to do. If we let loose...we will suffer in the future..kids have impressionable minds and are much more sensitive than adults. So they should be dealt with utmost care and caution.
Yes for e.g. if a parent is scolding a child for some reason the other parent who was not in the scenario should not suddenly jump into some conclusion and confront his or her spouse. Instead he or she should wait and clear the matter privately.

That's why they say, if you want to love your child love your wife (spouse as the case may be.)? In other words where there is a harmonious relations between husband and wife,children from that family will grow in to ideal children.
Yes children are happy and full of life when their parents are happy.
Children do not demand riches and luxuries. They demand abundant love from the parents. This is the minimum parents can do for bringing up ideal citizens of tomorrow..
Self-Defense is very important for women. It makes women self dependence and confidence. They able to fight against those who harm him.
Yes, it is imperative to be self-dependent in the today's time. This is the need of the hour.

Yes, more than anything else, children crave love, care, and attention from their parents.

You cannot miss that spark in the eyes of the child when you pat on the shoulder of the child after completing a small job assigned to the child. Does it cost a fortune? See the results when the child grows up how a small gesture of recognition led to much needed Self Reliance.
Yes even we grown ups want recognition and acknowledgement. It does not have to be much but a small gesture is enough to boost up our energy. So why not children. We should always encourage and acknowledge our children for their accomplishments no matter how small it is. When for e.g. a child is a bit resistant and is not doing his homework or something that he or she is asked to do just say "please" and see the wonder. The child instantly feels important and will do the job happily.

Yes, children learn many thing from their parent. Parent need to avoid such unnecessary conversation in front of children.

Yes, applauding for positive things done and admonishing for negative behavior from a very young age will make a child into a more responsible adult.
Yes I remember an incident from my school. We had a teacher who used to teach us English and in fact she was our favorite. She once told a boy who was very disrespectful towards her that "even children deserve respect and unless you learn to respect others how can you expect that in return". She was very understanding and always treated us as individuals rather than just kids.

Sadly such ideal teachers are conspicuously missing in the present scenario. The days of "Acharya Devo Bhava " should come back again.
