Should Parents Punish Their Children? | Sadhguru

[@pavanikurji9093]

"We are trying to fix children into the Society, in which we ourselves are not happy with" -- Sadhguru

[@Eric-tj3tg]

"Psychology/Psychiatry measures a person's adaptation to the society in which they find themselves. No inquiry, however, is made as to that society's adaptation to life as it naturally is."- Hubert Benoit ("Zen and the Psychology of Transformation)

[@freelineinafreeworld5980]

Thats true 😮😢

[@trmarple]

How beautiful. Raise your children with kindness and encouragement instead of useless competition. Having raised 3 I wish I knew this in the beginning as opposed to the end. Thank you Sadhguru. Will be sharing this with my adult children!

[@OceanSwimmer]

Ted, you have a second chance to practice this as a grandfather! Your grandchildren will love you for it, and your adult children will be taught by your powerful example. My adult daughter confronted me about something I had done years before. I had shushed her crying --- and she was shushing her little daughter. I asked her how she could ignore her daughter's crying, and she said, 'You told me to 'get over it' when I cried.' --- and so I replied, 'I was wrong...and when we learn we have made mistakes, we change. We do not have to continue to repeat mistakes.' She (my daughter) was still angry with me, but the following morning my granddaughter hugged me when I told her 'I get into trouble too, sometimes.' It is wonderful to be older and approach our children/ grandchildren with guidance, not punishment.

[@OceanSwimmer]

I am happy to hear this wisdom from Sadhguru: we GUIDE and REDIRECT our children -- correction is one thing....punishment is not a lesson, but the adult demonstrating ignorance. I didn't know having black and blue marks on my legs was unusual until a friend at school asked me what happened. At that moment I learned not all parents hit their children. It was a big revelation. At school, we learned to be a disciple means to be diciplined...to be taught. When my teacher told us the meaning, I learned the difference between guidance and punishment -- physical harm for its own sake teaches nothing worthwhile. A teacher was asked 'what should my child watch on TV?' and he replied, "It's not what they watch on TV, it's what you watch with them that matters.' He said watching a program with your children offers an opportunity to ask your child's thoughts about what they saw, and how they felt about it. Attending to children means paying attention to them.

[@Jen-je3jo]

I never have and never will punish my kids. I love them with everything I have and I want them to know that they are loved. I want them to have the best life and feel joyous. This is everything. I think like you on so many levels Sadhguru and I am so happy I found you. I needed this....Children need inspiration not correction. Teachers need correction. Yes!!!!

[@dontfaround441]

Your children will be happy, they will even be kind to you probably in older age. Other's people children will let them alone old age for the torture they inflicted on them for no reason

Children still learn and theres healthiness and its ndcessary to lovingly correct if they are hurting or not establishing healthy routines and doing things detrimental/in excess. Everything has time and a place and context. The way it is done makes all the difference, children still need to know when it is safe to cross a road, etc. To be kept safe and learning to be self reliant Spirtually emotionally and mentally. Even God lovingly corrects all his children if they are needing it, no one is perfect!

You be good to people who are good to you. Sometimes strangers will treat you better than family, I do love my family always helping and giving....but....now at 60 I realized put yourself first, look after yourself, not to allow them to give you a nervous breakdown or lower your self esteem. B4 leaving write them a letter, be honest with your feelings. You must come first. Not to allow them to pull you down. Sometimes parents are old fashion very strict you can't be yourself around them, they living in a bubble. you can't relate or they want you to live for society and not for yourself. If your parents not willing to change or meet you half way most definitely keep your distance in a restful manner. Good luck may God continue to bless you.🌹

Okay so this is from a teen's perspective... If a child is doing unnacceptable things like what you guys said in the comments, (hitting, stealing, etc), ask why did they do that and listen. Then, you gotta understand them, forgive them and just give them the consequences but the consequences should be related to what they did.
