6 Things To Do to Earn Your Child’s Friendship - Sadhguru

[@Changethewaywekeepitreal]

I’m 27 years old. I have 2 small children of my own. I’ve always said I wanted to do completely different bc I was exposed to constant anger, frustration, no playing, no going out with neither of my parents until I was a teenager. I was really angry always. I never believed in the Christian God that I was exposed to. I was expressive about it and my family, all of it thought there was something really wrong with me. Anyway… so much time wasted thinking something MUST be completely wrong with me. Sadhguru, thank you so much! At first listening to you was ‘enlightening’ but now I can’t stop listening to you. From the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep. It makes me sad I have to unlearn so much. From the way I eat, to the way I breathe, to the way I walk, it’s so much and I would of appreciated being told by them that this is what they know, not the ultimate truth. I don’t know how long it’s going to take me but my heart is in it❤️

[@bharatvarma9278]

1)Get off the pedestal. (be their friends) 2)Dedicate time for them 3)Don’t try to live through them 4)Let them discipline themselves 5)Stop preparing them for something 6)Lastly, shine a little bit

Everything he said is correct I've felt my father lacked all of these qualities and I voiced every point he raised.This reassures me the things I wanted but never got are the things I must never forget because hopefully I will have a child of my own and this cycle ends with me.

It doesn’t work all the time,i have to admit, it is actually hard. I wish it was a natural way to see things from a neutral standpoint like him. Completely unbiased. That’s a challenge and whoever is trying to make a little difference every day, you deserve full respect ❤️

"They are not the extension of the ambitions". Good to hear but from the moment a child is born, parents start building n nesting their own dreams n ambitions (which were left incomplete) around the child. Most of them struggle n sacrifice for this to be done and they believe that "children are the only hope"

[@valasador9439]

The insight that i catch is "try to imagine your childhood and what do you really want to do" will tell what your child really want

[@jayasinghadhasbama6937]

Very good points by Sadhguru. Afrer having heard Sadhguru's talk, i understood many things and followed his guidance. I didn't push my child to score the first mark.I didn't expect it. I allowed her to do what she likes(It should be a good one)and really it is giving me a positive impact. All parents need to know this. Thank you Sadhguru. 🙏❤❤❤❤

Sadhguru doesn't usually do this. This is one of the very few videos where he is giving a structured solution. Usually his objective is to confuse people so that their intellect is stimulated and they become eager to find their own solution. But this video is a departure. Some one in his team has changed and the new video editing team trying "structured" approach. Not that it is wrong. However, I think giving a six point solution just ends the conversation. Whereas, when he usually leaves a question partially answered, it creates "longing to know". It's just my opinion. Sadhguru, I want to humbly thank you for the influence you have been in our lives.

[@kavyapradhan626]

Honestly he isn't confusing people it's just that we don't get the answer we usually accept and ignore the essence of his words; while learning anything if you put your prejudice before you won't be able to understand . Once you're open about it you will get it what he is talking about
