Mr. Patil said it was the responsibility of parents and teachers to ensure that a child’s growth was progressive. He asked parents allow their children to do what they were interested in. Writer Shankar Halagatti said the present-day children were under pressure right from a young age. They were not given the freedom required for positive growth. He told teachers and parents to offer them a tension-free atmosphere if they were to develop well.

Writer Roopa Hassan wanted parents not to pressure children into performing well, but relate to them emotionally. Secretary of Arvinda School B.K. Rangaswamy and the former MLA H.S. Prakash spoke.
