We have seen many tips for developing our children in my
previous posts which were assuming that parents are wiser and kids are stupid.
I heard a radically a different view from Sadhguru as he is known for which is
very appealing to me. Here goes his rationale:
The
growth of the plant depends on the soil. Similarly personality of the child
depends on the 'Home ambience'. If you want to teach peace, you have to create
a peaceful ambience. If you wish to see a compassionate child, be compassionate
with your family members. In essence, whatever quality you wish to emulate in
your child be that yourself first.
Sadhguru says "You don't need to preach anything to your
child but just walk the talk" .The child always wants to role model their
parents. It will mirror you as it feels whatever you do is right. If you smoke
or booze, forget about a non smoking teetotaler.
In summary, as parents let's not conclude we are smarter and
intelligent than our offspring's as they have born in a new era with huge
evolved mind. In fact we have to stop parenting stuffing our stupid outdated
ideas and show a principle centric way of living which in itself be a big
inspiration for them to role model.
According to Sadhguru parenting is looking into ourselves and
figure out how we live and what way we can live better in front lof our
children. If the father and mother fight like dog & cat, don't expect your
child to be a peace lover. If the home is a blissful place, the child will be a
Sadhguru one day.
