Sri Ravi Shankar said ‘Parents are teaching everything wrong to their children, one day everything will end’

Opinion of Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

When we talk to or educate children, we often inadvertently give them negative suggestions. But we should be aware of this tendency and try to give positive suggestions instead. For example, instead of saying “Don’t go there”, we can say “Come here”. Similarly, instead of saying “Don’t throw the bottle”, it would be more correct to say “Put the bottle back there”.

Make your suggestion positive

If we try to change our suggestions from negative to positive, it will create a more positive and encouraging environment for children. This approach will not only improve communication but will also help children develop an optimistic and cooperative attitude.

Parents learn a lot

Children are a blessing from God. Not only do they bring immense joy into our lives, but raising them is also a learning experience for parents. In the process, parents get many opportunities to become more empathetic, more patient and lead by example. Most importantly, they get the opportunity to shower all their love on their little ones. In a way, it won’t be wrong to say that parents play the role of God. With so much variety, parenting can be a very colorful and satisfying journey.

how children learn

Children are very observant of things around them. They watch everything and every moment very closely. Most parents are unaware that their children are watching them closely all the time. Therefore, it is important for parents to remain relaxed, because the stress or happiness of the parents, their nature and their attitude directly impact the child.

The impact of parental stress

When parents are stressed, it can get transferred to the children as well, and when they are happy, it has a positive impact on the children. Hence, it is important for parents to remain mentally and emotionally balanced for the complete development of children.
