THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTS AND
CHILDREN
NURTURING VALUES
Questioner : Here, living in America we have money but
we are lacking in moral values. What should we do when we
have to live in such an environment?
Dadashri : Parents themselves should develop moral values
that result in a loving family environment. The love from parents
should be such that their children would not want to leave them. If
you want to improve your child, the responsibility lies with you.
You are bound by your duty to your child.

Parents should instill the highest moral values in their
children. Many parents in USA have complained to me about
their child ren eating meat and indulging in other unacceptable
activities. I asked the parents whether they themselves indulged in
similar activities and they told me that they did. I told them that
children would always imitate the moral values of their parents.
And sometimes the children may behave differently outside of the
home also. But your duty as parents should be to instill good
values in them and you must not fail in this.
