One should love and care for a child till the child is five years old. One should scold a child (if he/she makes mistakes) till the child is ten years old. However when the child becomes sixteen years of age, one should behave with him/her like a friend.
बच्चे की उम्र पाँच साल की होने तक उसको बहुत लाड-प्यार करना चाहिए। बच्चा दस साल का होने तक (जब गलती करता है तब) उसपर गुस्सा करना चाहिए। परंतु बच्चे को सोलहवा साल लगने के बाद उससे मित्र के जैसा आचरण करना चाहिए।
