To develop and harness the hidden qualities concealed talents and balanced psychic of children, "love and affection" is like the season of spring!

The heart and minds of our off springs, who are deprived of the "affection" of their elders, or have received "half hearted love", do not have the vigour and shine, which could safeguard the real texture, and the spirit and energy required throughout the whole journey of life.

Deprived from the spirit of affection, they are not energetic even in their childhood. Their youth is also very dim and dull, and the old age, is but a weary sign! That is why, during the period of growth if love and affection is not catered to the citizens of the future, then the society should also not expect from them any phenomenal outcome!

The members of the society who have been affected by Abnormal Psychology and have an imbalanced personality, are mainly those, who either did not receive "attachment and tenderness" during their childhood, or were deprived from the warmth of their parents!

The Islamic injunctions regarding these issues are, that those persons who are responsible for the nourishment and upbringing of children, are duty bound that in order to raise the standard of their education, not to conceal artificially the feelings of "love and affection", but should generously express them, in it's natural way.

Sadiq-e-Ale Muhammad (ASWS) quoting his forefather the Last Prophet (SAWAW) states:"Whosoever will love his child (kiss him),the
Allah's Grace would increase a good deed in the register of his deeds, and whosoever will make his child happy, the Creator will make him happy, on the Day of Judgement."80
