‘Why have I been called by your class teacher?’
Aryan mumbled, ‘I hit a boy in my class, dad.’
‘Why?’
‘He called me by a bad word, Dad!’
‘It happens, Aryu. Did you explain to him what he said was wrong?’
‘No!’
‘You should have. Good and bad do exist in everyone, kiddo. You just need to differentiate which is which.’

That’s a tough thing to learn, especially for kids.

That was such a simplistic tale about teaching kids about the good and bad

Kids are very impressionable. So it’s imperative that we teach them what’s good and bad.

A valuable lesson. Once he understands everyone has both good and bad in them, he will be able to deal with people a lot better.

Probably Aryan believed in the saying that “action speak louder than words!”
Jokes apart, its always better to teach good behaviour to children earlier than later!
Insightful take, Varad.

We do need to teach our children the difference and how to react or act in different situations. But in the current state of the world, even adults find it difficult to differentiate between good and bad
