For Harmonious Life with Grown Up Children

In my personal life, I have found certain guiding principles useful:

1. Never give unsolicited advice. The children are grown up and are capable of taking decisions in most cases. They will ask the parents if they feel the need.

2. Have trust in the children. After all, they have been brought up by us and we would have inculcated certain principles in them by setting examples and by value education.

3. Never thrust your ideas on them.

4. Never take sides in any argument between the children and their spouses.

5. When living with children, take up the daily chores which they find difficult to manage due to their official pressures. There are many ways in which we can be helpful to them.

6. Love and affection do not necessarily grow by being near to each other. Even from a distance these will grow.
