One of the most sacred and divine relationships is the one between a parent and an offspring. This is one of the most important relationships, perhaps the most important relationship for many. Parent child relationships often range from the least complicated to the most complicated. Since this relationship starts with a startling change in a family, the birth of the child, such a relationship can become complex at times. A relationship that composes of respect, candidness, conservativeness, friendliness, freedom and binding at the same time sometimes is sweet and sometimes not so sweet.

Parent child relationship, like any other relationship often takes tortuous twists and thus demands constant care and looking after. Even if this is the closest relationship of them all, bonded by blood, like any other relationship, can become vulnerable and at times can break up. Since this is indeed the relationship that provides us with the highest sense of affinity, when distance clouds over such relationships, the people involved are hurt the most. This delicate relationship is often ruined because people make a mistake of taking it for granted. They take it as such because they think that blood-binding guarantees that the relationship will last forever. We can see that this a wrong assumption as more and more parent child relationship is going apart.

I do not know whether you are a parent or a child or both. I would not expect you to see the parent child relationship thing in a whole new light just by going through this write up. But I will definitely expect that I will be able to convey the necessity of continually nurturing this relationship. As I have drawn from my experience and from those of others, this parent child relationship is unique for every parent and child. In fact it is different with the same parent and different children or with the same child and the different parents.

If you are the child, what should be your prime responsibilities? What are the things that you ought to do for parents not because you have to out of social protocol, but because you want to because you respect you parents and you want to show your love and gratitude towards them (rather than fearing them). For example, in most cases you are not bound to perform a lot of responsibilities for your parents that only your morale asks you to, you are neither socially bound nor will be punished if you act otherwise. You are not bound to buy your parents something with your first salary, neither are you bound to help them support the family. Then again, your parents were not bound to bring you up and make you this much capable that today you are on your own and can deny their contributions! Your attitude towards your parents should not motivated by the fact of repayment. Rather, you should do anything you do for them spontaneously. Your parents will right away understand whether you are happily doing something for them or are you keeping your mouth shut and obeying social custom. So, do whatever you do, willingly. Anything you do for your parents are trivial compared to what they have done for you. So, do not let any opportunity to do something for your parents slip out of your hands.

Well, now for the parent. Which type of a parent are you? Are you the friendly one or the grumpy one? Remember one thing- controlling your child more than necessary does not yield anything positive. In fact, the more you are compelling, the farther you are sending them from yourself. So, what should you be? Would you be a friend rather? No, of course not; they have friends. What they need are friendly parents who they can look up to when in trouble, who they can share everything with-from the first crush to the first smoke, who they can rely upon knowing no matter who would be around in need, the parents will. Are you that type of a parent? Can you ensure your child will not take any major step without telling you? If you really want to ensure that then what you have to do is that you let them approach you before they approach any third party. You let them be frank with you. Well, it is your responsibility too that your child can distinguish between a friend and you that he/she respects you, that they learn from you-every nitty-gritty matter of importance from you-that they truly become a part of you, represent you.

It’s in the hands of both of you-the child as well as the parent to carry out a successful relationship. Tangled in the mesh of other relationships we often forget the necessity of this crucial parent child relationship. Well, the bottom line is- we shouldn’t!
