Parental control over child is a thing of the past.

No. I think parents should have control over children. It should not be frightening them but with love and feeling. Children should realize that they are under the power of their parents and parents are better judges for their problems. Parents should not take the upper hand and try to control children without any mercy. It should be a win-win situation where parents and children share everything and listen to each other and reason out. Children also should have a voice in the family and parents should give way to their children when ever reasonable.
