Day by day society is changing. Now everywhere, in each family, we find individual life-styles. People are being separated from joint families and becoming alienated.

In such families, children suffer a lot. Because in most cases the parents remain busy with their jobs. So, the child has to stay alone at home for a long period of time. This creates some kind of mental crisis for the child and he/she may become rather abnormal.

So, parents should think about these problems. They should not allow their children to become lonely. A child needs a lot of care and love for mental and physical growth. And only a joint family can provide a loving and warm atmosphere for a child.
