Need for Moral Education and Character Building for children Srinivasan Sabharatnam

"Today the world is like a captainless ship heading for a wreck. It is swept by passion and folly. We do not know whether it is passing through birth pangs or death throes. If we adopt the path of greed, hatred and self-interest, we will become something less than human." - Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan As stated in my earlier book, "In the making of a good citizen - A treatise on rearing healthy children", I have written this book to be used along with it to reap the full benefit of the entire subject matter. I am sure that every mother and father would be able to bring up their children very well to be useful citizens and leaders for their nations if they scrupulously follow the steps indicated in these books. When a mother is responsible for creating the body of a child, she is equally responsible to shape its mind too. There are examples of mothers of great leaders and warriors as well as those of tyrants and Sociopaths. Examples of Emperor Shivaji and Adolf Hitler will suffice as a garin for the whole potful of grains of both extremes. "A child needs the care and guidance of its mother who converts it into a responsible person of the clan and the affection as well strictness of its father to become a responsible citizen".
