The hand that once held the child's hand to learn to walk is neglected and disrespected over time, forcing it to lean against the wall. This is like the biography of the Banyan tree, the Banyan tree shelters everyone in its shade, but in return, it piles up garbage!The biggest tragedy today is the lack of good family education and moral values.
Parents who sacrifice all their life's savings, happiness and dreams to make their child successful in the eyes of society and come of age are left in old age homes or neglected in a corner of the house. In the name of modernity, the formation of a single family and human values are being lost so much that its rate is taking the form of an epidemic in society. If this silent epidemic continues, Where will the invaluable responsibility of children towards their parents end up in the future? There are various reasons behind this, the biggest influencer is the addiction of teaching children to play the rat race in the unhealthy competition of society. In the context of today's society, a family does not take strong steps regarding behavior as before. As a result, the child lives in apathy and indifference. A child's first school is his family and the first teacher is his parents. Many parents think that their only responsibility is to let their children wear expensive clothes, expensive gadgets and study in renowned educational institutions. When the child is first in the class or does well, the parents are proud. As a result, a kind of ego comes into the child. Even if the child is ahead in the race for success in the book and pen, the parents don't care. As a result, they build a wall of class differences and discrimination. When the child misbehaves with a rickshaw puller or a housemaid, many parents laugh it off or ignore it. This is basically the biggest failure of parents. They teach their children to build a career in the institutional field but do not teach them ideal honesty and character. When these children grow up, they consider their parents a burden and send them to old age homes or neglect them as if they are alive and dying. Basically, the cries of those parents are a cruel result of their own wrong parenting. The child may have reached the sky with talent but due to lack of values, he has also taken away the ground from under the feet of his own creator. Even if the parents have a desire to become doctors or engineers since childhood, very few parents have the mentality to educate them with good education. In the desire to succeed in the rat race, they forget how to serve their parents. A paper degree and external success become the only goal of their life. It is not only the inability of parents to teach the values of their children that makes them scoundrels, in this case, the children have their own responsibility. In addition to the family, institutional education and social ties have an impact on learning human values from childhood. But being limited to textbooks, radicalism and indifference are seen in human values. Moreover, things like the touch of Western culture, egoism in the name of modernity, indecent attitudes, and eccentricity in showing respect have a very bad effect in the present era. In this case, the family must start practicing honesty, compassion, and respect. Parents must set an example in front of their children through their own behavior. Because children learn more by watching their parents' behavior than by listening to advice. Along with the family, society and the state must be strengthened with the highest discipline. If necessary, a specific law was enacted in 2013 in Bangladesh to ensure the maintenance of parents by children, and it must be implemented significantly. According to this law, every child must ensure the overall maintenance of their parents, including health, housing, and daily care. There is a provision of a maximum fine of 1 lakh taka for disobeying the law and 3 months imprisonment for non-payment. The government must make maximum use of the law to save it from this silent epidemic. In addition, educational institutions should not be made just prisons of rote learning but should be developed as areas of life-oriented and moral education. It is necessary to make human values, social responsibility and compassion mandatory and practical in the curriculum. The conscious people of the society should be proactive in this regard so that when a parent faces the problem of helplessness, everyone comes forward. The construction of old age homes should be discouraged. The government should come forward in this regard. We should take collective steps so that no more unborn child cruelly tortures his parents just for the sake of degree success and in the near future, every parent should get the opportunity to give up the last bit of his life with childlike cath
