‘Parents must teach kids adjustment & tolerance’

In fast moving lives,parents are high on educating their girl children,but have forgotten to teach them how to adjust,be tolerant,respect elders and much more,said women commission Chairman Gurdev Kaur Sangha who was in the city today. “Young parents should focus on these things so as to make the marriages of their daughters successful. A number of marital problems arise due to lack of tolerance among the couples without any other major reason.” She added,“Even the in-laws should also consider their daughter-in-law as their own daughter and must respect her family if they want respect.”

Sangha said,“If these little things are adopted by couples and their families,more than 90% of cases will get solved at their houses itself.”

Sangha had been advocating since long that girls these days really need to learn the art of ‘adjustment’.”
