The day began by invoking Gods blessings ,followed by a general session on how the adolescent age works and what are the cautions and actions parents and teachers as well as students must make . The speaker spoke on how childhood affects the young age ,how it influences ones personality ,how exposure to a certain atmosphere triggers the behaviour and how it shapes an individual in his or her own way .Parents mustn’t scold their children always ,but they need to be good friends at this age so to as make the child feel wanted and accepted. The child’s flaws shouldn’t be taken as something that’s too serious for anything major to be done .
“But it must be dealt with care and sympathy ,every responsibility must carry certain kind of freedom and within that freedom the child must be taught what’s good and bad for him or her in the long run .The speaker was of strong thought that the parents in some way are
responsible for whatever bad the child does,as an example he told how parents readily have given phones to their children ,who at present are always into an online game called PUBG, which is very much harmful for the atmosphere around and the child’s self growth” added Mukund.
The speaker advised the teachers to take responsibility of their class, train them to be good human beings and do well for themselves as well as others around them. For the students his only concern was how studious each students needs to be and what great things education can do for them. He narrated his own life story regarding how he scored well and what ate his achievements

happenings in the college and how it has shaped each students in the past four months
The session ended by thanking everyone ,which was followed by the parent teacher interaction.
