Should Kids Be Free to Make Decisions? VVS Laxman Asks Sadhguru

VVS Laxman asks Sadhguru whether it is okay for kids to be given the freedom to make their own decisions, and whether parents should draw the line at any point.

Sadhguru invites us to reexamine the conventional system of education and come to a more holistic approach.

Sadhguru explains why we need to stop thinking that children need to be fixed, and instead create an atmosphere of inspiration which will allow them to blossom to their full potential.

Sadhguru looks at how a child needs a friend, not a boss. If we enforce our ideas upon a child, he will lose his sense of independence, and this could result in rebelliousness later on. Once you become a parent, the most important thing is that you have to be 100% straight. You just have to protect them from the wrong influences, the rest let them free, he says. At the same time, they should remain free from your influence, he points out.
