**Madikeri, Oct. 1:** While high priority is currently given to education and skill training for children, there is a need to foster a competitive spirit alongside teaching human values, the importance of family relationships, and the culture of respecting elders. This was stated by Shubha, Senior Civil Judge and Member Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority.
She spoke after inaugurating the World Senior Citizens Day celebration held on Thursday at the Child Welfare Institution in the city. The event was organized by the District Administration, Zilla Panchayat, Department of Women and Child Development, District Legal Services Authority, senior citizens' voluntary organizations, and the Department for the Empowerment of Differently-Abled and Senior Citizens. The program was held under the theme: "The Era of Longevity: Rethinking Lifestyles for a Long Life."
Parents should actively engage with their children. Children must be instilled with the assurance that their parents will always be there for them. She noted that human beings are in a state of helplessness at both the beginning and the end of life; just as a child requires parental care until becoming self-reliant, elderly parents also need the cooperation, care, and patience of their children.
