The son, when becomes 16 yrs old, should be treated as a Friend

31 - 
लालयेत् पंच वर्षाणि ,
दश वर्षाणि ताडयेत् ।
प्राप्ते तु षोडशे वर्षे ,
पुत्रे मित्रवत् आचरेत् ।।
 ( चाणक्य नीति ) 

Till the son becomes five years old he should be pampered. Till he becomes 10 years old he should be  watched. But when he turns 16 years he should be treated like a friend.


पुत्र का पाँच वर्ष तक लालन-पालन करना चाहिए । दस वर्ष तक उसे ताडना चाहिए । किन्तु सोलह वर्ष के उपरान्त पुत्र के साथ मित्रवत् व्यवहार करना चाहिए ।
