Parenting - Building Willpower in Children
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лют 2020
- How do we raise children who are poised to handle the challenges of our world? Parents often have questions on how to equip their children with the right skills for life. One way is to help them build willpower from the get-go.
If you allow a child to build their willpower, they will thank you later. Because, when you say nothing to a child and continue to give in, it is based on the assumption that the child knows what is good for them - which is not always the case. Overall, as a human race, we are known to constantly seek instant gratification. Adults struggle with it too. If with all the wisdom, experience and suffering, adults find it hard to control a simple basic tendency, how can we expect children to do this easily? Sometimes in the name of discipline, parents can be too hard on their children. Being flexible in parenting goes a long way. Children are keen observers, if they see members in the family behave a certain way and end up getting their way, they would exhibit the same behavior. Never make the mistake of thinking you are raising your kids, instead - they are raising you, we end up learning a lot from our children.
Pearls of Wisdom to take away from this talk:
1. How to instill self-discipline and build willpower in children
2. How to negotiate with children, and stand your ground
3. How to be flexible as parents

This recording is from last year annual celebrations in ashram, and this was the first time I saw you in person. What an aura you have Swami ji.i was feeling lost in the ashram as I knew no one and you gave me so much opportunities to do sewa in ashram and specially you allowed me to visit your personal meetings room with maa Shamta and Manjula ji
Charan sparsh swami ji..

I don't know how to thank You for this, I laughed from 8:56 onwards 😝
Will power is a tricky thing and as adults too, we lose track of what's important and what's not. Esoterically, You are parenting us on the right path. Infinite gratitude towards You for that 🙏🏻🙇🏻♀️💖 basically, infinite gratitude towards You for everything :)
My respectful obeisances at Your beautiful Lotus Feet Swamiji 🙏🏻😊 Keep us by Your Feet, always and forever ❤️

Koti koti pranams at your lotus feet Swami ji,
Lot of good and important messages in this discourse like " If we have already negotiated then it's clear and if we help the child in building will power they will thank you later " and on top of that relevant examples makes the message extraordinarily clear. Thank you Swami ji for this discourse on patenting.

Very amazing tips on parenting. Alas I could know these while raising my only child, who is a wonderful young man now despite my flawed endeavours to discipline him when he was growing. But it’s never too late. I shall, if God willing put these tips to practice while raising my grand children. Thank you Swami Ji and Jai Mata Di.
