Parents play a crucial role in their children's education, but many neglect their responsibilities, leading to the absence of parental support in the Indian education system.

The home environment plays a crucial role in shaping a child's behavior and values.
Children learn important lessons about respect, love, and compassion within the family unit.
Parents should be mindful of their actions and behavior as children often imitate them.
A conducive home environment is essential for children's growth and development.

Every child has unique talents and abilities that should be recognized and nurtured.
