A couple of days ago, while at work, happened to notice something cruel.
A father and son duo
walked into one of my company outlets to get some clarifications
regarding a phone they had bought recently. It seemed the son, a boy of
around 10 years, had forgotten to bring one of the components of the
phone that was required for the demo. Immediately the father started
scolding the kid. The words that he were using against his own son
were something that you can hear only in the brawl between hooligans.
Such an abuse!
The poor little boy was looking sullen and ashamed in
front of us. Finishing his abuse after a whole minute, the father
stormed out to fetch the component. The child's face was a picture of
shame and gloom. I couldn't even stand the boy's face.
Is this the way
to parent a child?! Won't that boy's self-respect and confidence be
dented after such a verbal barrage, that too in front of utter strangers
like us? Or will such children grow up feeling any semblance of
compassion to care for their parents when they grow senile and dependent
on them?
