How to Make Children Look Up to You?

Sadhguru's powerful message for parents on Children's day.

Sadhguru looks at what parents need to do to earn their child’s friendship and develop a healthy relationship, which will help the child blossom.

On the occasion of Children's Day, Sadhguru speaks about how parents can connect better with their children and become someone that the child looks up to as a friend.

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.
