Editorial: Parents input is vital

Thanks to all parents and guardians who played their roles in instilling discipline into their children during holiday time.Now that children have started school, they are going to spend most of their time with teachers. Children will have limited time with parents. Parents who live a busy life may find it difficult to spend quality time with their children, because they return home late when the children have already slept. The factor that parents don’t have enough time for their children will cause children to misbehave due to the missing guidance of the parents about certain things. Disciplining a child shouldn’t be a one man’s responsibility; parents, teachers and housemaids have a great role in instilling discipline in children. However, the society also has a role to play in bringing up the future generation. If a child is found messing up, he or she should be disciplined by any adult near by. Children don’t belong to their families alone; they also do belong to the community and the nation in general, so everyone should participate in guiding the young generation to do what is right. Ends
