Growing up, we all must have heard our parents and grandparents talk about our ancestors and family history with a tinge of pride in their tones. In a nutshell, that emotion is called legacy, and it's unique for everyone. Suppose you ask someone what a legacy is. In that case, people often point it out as a family name, physical features, materialistic inheritances, etc., but the true heritage lies within the family and the way we bring up our children, says the Founder of SSVM Group of Institutions, Dr. Manimekalai Mohan.

In a riveting read, Dr. Manimekalai Mohan says that though children are considered a part of their family legacy, bringing them up is perceived as a responsibility and this has to change. Read on to know more.

Why are children a family's true legacy?

Having children is a joy, a pride, and a roller coaster ride of emotions for us. As parents, we seek joy in their achievements and want them to live our dreams and vice versa. But how often are we nurturing them on the right footing? If you want them to carry your values, ethics, morals, and belief system forward, handle children with care.

Do parents tend to mount pressure on children hoping to realise their dreams?

Not all parents, but I find most of them doing it. Unfortunately, today's students are facing comparative studies right from their academics to pursuing their hobbies. Care for your child's innermost feelings, value them and give importance to their opinions. It is alright to differ but make it a habit to explain with the utmost rationale.

There are two types of legacies –personal and professional. While the first is about family practices, the latter is about taking after a family's business or profession. What do you suggest to parents who want their children to follow these paths?

Family legacy is inherited, and it starts from the surname, eating habits, home language, etc., and seamlessly weaves into a child's life. However, if you see your teenage kid drifting away from your value system, sit and explain gently why your family values matter. Whenever you encounter a situation like this, remember to be kind and compassionate. gear up for some family-friendly celebrations at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, DC, the US. Hosted at the National Mall, this free summer extravaganza is a celebration of cultures the world over. This year, it will focus on the Ozarks as well as living religions in the US. The festival also features live musical demonstrations where attendees will be able to join the artistes for free performances and classes and learn about different musical instruments. A lready on, the event will continue till July 4 and will be held again from July 6 to 9. fo r an authentic taste of Nordic flavours, look no further than Villa Frantzén Restaurant & Cocktail Bar, located in Bangkok. Launched by Chef Frantzén, a Nordic god in the fine-dining scene, it serves fresh Norwegian salmon and monkfish, along with other scrumptious delicacies. The drinks served here bear smooth and sharp notes

Professional legacy, on the other hand, is not an obvious choice. A doctor's kid may want to be an entrepreneur, and it is the parents' responsibility to realise a child's dream and provide all possible support. Moreover, it is impossible to succeed in any profession if your child is not interested in it.

We often come across parents treating their children like trophies. What kind of impact would that have on a young mind? Your children are your legacy but not a prized possession. Kids are individuals in their own right, and it is extremely important to respect their feelings. Be humble about your child's achievements and stay strong and supportive while they go through tough times. Parents and grownups should know how to provide a balanced mindset while handling a child's success and failure.

How should parents and elders support their children in shaping them into kind and responsible individuals?

Do it with love, support, and guidance. These three mantras are time-tested and help instill positive values and impart knowledge, and parents can play a significant role in shaping a child's future, and that's exactly what you call a true legacy.
