Worth Noting:
- The parents and their children always belong to different generations so you will find that what one set is doing is completely different from what was done during the times of the other set.
- At times the children think they are clever than parents and use tricks unaware that even if the parents would not know exactly what he is doing they would have a clue whether their actions are good or bad for example a child with a bad company where they smoke or goes for night party where they drink alcohol would tend to avoid meeting their parents so have a lot of solitude when at home to avoid being questioned or detected that he is doing something weird.
Talking to a farmer when he observes the behavior of crops he will tell you the likelihood of good harvest or famine for instance when certain fruit trees do well it is a sure sign of famine in the following season. Not that they have scientific instruments to measure and predict weather patterns but from experience they can tell a lot about it with certainty even there are certain directions they can see dark clouds and tell you that there will be a heavy downpour while at a different direction they would claim there will be no rain and it will turn to be true.
A mechanic with many number of years of practice would hear the sound being produced by a moving vehicle and determine whether there is a mechanical problem or not and if yes what kind of problem even without having to use tools in testing.Β He could not be having a scientific proof of his reasons but that one does not mean that his assessments are wrong.
Parents especially mothers by mere observing of a girl child from adolescent and above behaviour for few days is able to detect whether she is pregnant or not owing to her experiences with such issues even without asking her about it. As they could allege any test done would turn to be true.
A policeman by merely looking at a crowd of people can easily spot a criminal even without having caught him committing any crime. In a similar fashion a criminal can spot a policeman even when the latter is not in uniform or at place of work or when they have never met before. They know each other by sighting each other they can learn a lot about the other.

Much as the parent could not know exactly what is happening with the kid he could notice withdrawal signs and detect that all is not well with the kid.
A teacher while continuing with his lesson looking at the posture of the students and the attention may know whether they are understanding what he is teaching or not even without asking them whether they understand or not for example he could crack a joke if the students are quick to note it down he knows that they are not able to distinguish between the topic they are studying and the side shows.
Students remaining silent throughout the lesson could indicate either their disinterest in the subject being taught or failure to understand hence limited participation.
Having been a student earlier on the teacher is able to remember what used to happen during his school days in case they are interested in subject or failing to understand.
Experience is a great teacher, having knowledge about something you will be able to interpret different scenarios associated with it even if the information is presented in an indirect manner.
