Duties towards children

Swami Vivekananda teaches:
"A son should be lovingly reared up to his fourth year; he should be educated till he is sixteen. When he is twenty years of age he should be employed in some work. He should then be treated affectionately by his father as his equal. Exactly in the same manner the daughter should be brought up, and then be educated with the greatest care. And when she marries, the father ought to give her jewels and wealth."
