(b) The qualities that a good son or daughter should depend largely upon the nature of their 
parents. But one thing that's command expectation from all parents is to respect them. 
A child should always listen to his parents and should always keep in mind that whatever 
they say is always going to be for his own benefit only. He should never be disobedient or 
rude to them. Parents always dream that their children should do what they could not fulfill 
in their life times. So a child should always keep their aspirations in mind and the 
expectations they have from him. And when their parents become old, he should make it 
sure that they are able to lead a relaxed and peaceful life, free from worries and tensions. 
Personally, I don't think that there have been any substantial changes over time in my 
culture regarding the qualities of good child. Even today a parent would demand love, 
affection and respect from his child, as was say, years ago. Earlier an ordinary Brahmin 
Hindu wanted his child to become a pundit, now a clerk would like his child to become a 
doctor or an engineer. In short, a parent always wishes his children should rise beyond 
what they could be in their lives. Generation gap is always going to be there. Be it 
yesterday, today or even tomorrow.
So I feel that parents over generations have always given something or the other to their 
children, the most important being they’re bringing us into this world. The only thing they 
expect in return is simply love and respect. And they rightly deserve that form every child 
be it a daughter or a son.
