There is a
story of a woman in India who was upset that her son was eating too much sugar.
No matter how much she chided him, he continued to satisfy his sweet tooth.
Totally frustrated, she decided to take her son to see his great hero Mahatma

The
idea is our habits need to be aligned with our talking. Your Video (Actions)
needs to be aligned with your audio (habits). Our children learn from us. We
are the one who bought new model mobile in Great Indian Festival and gave the

learning from us and our habits. If we have to teach them, how to handle device
time effectively, we have to practice them with integrity like Mahatma.
