He encouraged children to identify and develop their talents and skills and reminded them that responsibility towards the family is essential. He also stressed the need for maintaining a positive attitude and concern for the well-being of family members.

Fr. Varghese urged parents to spend quality time with their children and to carefully observe and understand their needs, feelings and behaviour. He highlighted the importance of treating children with respect and dignity and encouraged parents to be willing to change and improve themselves for the well-being and overall development of their children.

The meeting provided an opportunity for parents to actively participate in an open discussion, during which they shared their experiences, challenges and suggestions.
