More than 5000 years ago, the Tamil poet and writer Tiruvalluvar wrote Tirukkural. It is an old study of human behavior that has endured despite advancements in technology and education.
SOME GOLDEN
THOUGHTS OF THIRUKKURAL
1. If your child
lies to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their
inappropriate behavior.
2. If your child is not taught to confide in
you about their mistakes, you’ve lost them.
3. If your child
had poor self-esteem, it is because you advise them
more than you encourage them.
4. If your child does not stand up for
themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly
in public.

5.
If your child takes things that do not belong to them, it is because when you
buy them things, you don’t let them chose what they want.
6.
If your child is cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.
7.
If your child does not respect other people’s feelings, it is because instead
of speaking to your child, you order and command them.
8.
If your child is too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention
to misbehavior and you give little attention to good behavior.
9.
If your child is excessively jealous, it is because you only congratulate them
when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at
something even if they don’t successfully complete it.
10.
If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is because you are not physically
affectionate enough.

11.
If your child is openly defiant, it is because you openly threaten to do
something but don’t follow through.
12.
If your child is secretive, it is because they don’t trust that you won’t blow
things out of proportion.
13.
If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you do it to others
and think its normal behavior.
14.
If your child doesn’t listen to you but listens to others, it is because you
are too quick to jump to conclusions
15. If your child rebels it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right.
