baby can’t speak a single word properly.

all the matters otherwise it would produce jealousy and
hated among them. There should be equally treatment
among the children’s specially girls. Girls should not be given
less importance than the boys.
11. Discipline of the family:-

well-disciplined way. It is only impossible through
the father that a family can run in a well manner
