“…After all this is the way the parents escape their duty I think. You have to tell children what they have to do. You have to talk to them, you must have a rapport with them. You must talk to them, and you must also try to guide them with your experience, tell them what is good what is bad. But this kind of a thing that the child should be allowed to do what they like, express themselves the way they like. I’ve seen the western children always will ask parents: “Why, why?” They are not to know, they have limitations. They can’t know every ‘why‘. How can they understand? They are limited and so, first of all, they are to build up. See this aeroplane now. Supposing it is not build up and allowed to go because: “It’s all right. Let it go in the sky”. What will happen? In the same way we have to put the nuts and bolts properly, into them, and see that they develop a personality…” 1992 Talk during transit to Canberra
