it is so essential that we speak with respect, love, kindness and patience with children and with elderly.

there are many a times, when it will be difficult to do so.
but, the best thing is to make sure that things dont become bad in terms of care taking feelings.

why is it so that in some families from Pakistani culture, elders are not treated with care and kindness?

sure, there could be deep rivalries, or old grudges or wrongs that elders might have done, wrongfully and now they are not seen in good light.
but that does not give anyone the license to be disrespectful and dislike elders. they will be difficult.

who knows, we will be difficult, too, when we will be that old.

if anyone likes, please read this article. it speaks of how physicians can speak nicely to their older patients.
