Firstly, I will give some changes in the following statements. In the past time of China, 
parents hope their son is so strong and brave that they would be supported and protected in 
their ages because man is easily able to earn living supply, such as food, clothes, house 
and so on, or make money to buy them. The daughter is expected being of tender and 
gentle so that she would get married a good man that means she would have a good 
fortune and her parents would not be worried because she does not make a living herself. 
As a good son or daughter, one of the most important qualities is he or she has to be 
obedient and submissive everything for their parent. For example, he or she would marry 
with a person who would be satisfied by their parents rather than loved by themselves.

However, in modern society, no matter son or daughter, the best quality is that they are 
positive, motivating, and responsible facing their life. Parents hope their son or daughter 
capable of do everything independently and wisely referring to their suggestion. 
Secondly, several good qualities are remained and are developed. With the development of 
society, more and more girls are educated and are able to support she, even others. Hence, 
the qualities of a good boy basically are the same as those of a good girl. In general, almost 
parents adore their children; in turn they need to be loved by them, especially the olds.
Therefore, no matter modern or past time, to care for their parents is regard as one of the 
necessary qualities. Additional, their excellent behave and their parents, such as he, also 
appreciate amazing performance or she is diligent and concentrated in their study and do 
they’re best in doing everything.
Of course, every parent has different viewpoints of the qualities of a child. I think the most 
primary qualities are he or she is of love, enterprise and responsibility around them.  
 
(b) The qualities that a good son or daughter should depend largely upon the nature of their 
parents. But one thing that's command expectation from all parents is to respect them. 
A child should always listen to his parents and should always keep in mind that whatever 
they say is always going to be for his own benefit only. He should never be disobedient or 
rude to them. Parents always dream that their children should do what they could not fulfill 
in their life times. So a child should always keep their aspirations in mind and the 
expectations they have from him. And when their parents become old, he should make it 
sure that they are able to lead a relaxed and peaceful life, free from worries and tensions. 
Personally, I don't think that there have been any substantial changes over time in my 
culture regarding the qualities of good child. Even today a parent would demand love, 
affection and respect from his child, as was say, years ago. Earlier an ordinary Brahmin 
Hindu wanted his child to become a pundit, now a clerk would like his child to become a 
doctor or an engineer. In short, a parent always wishes his children should rise beyond 
what they could be in their lives. Generation gap is always going to be there. Be it 
yesterday, today or even tomorrow.
So I feel that parents over generations have always given something or the other to their 
children, the most important being they’re bringing us into this world. The only thing they 
expect in return is simply love and respect. And they rightly deserve that form every child 
be it a daughter or a son.
