“Children are not created for the future but they are part of the present day. They should be left to mould themselves for the future. This is the time when they are eager to learn about various aspects and we should allow them to learn by sensitising them. Instead, we have been nurturing our children keeping in mind the future while it not possible to imagine how the world would be in the next 10 years. We should be thinking are we as parents nurturing them for the next 10 years?,” he added.
