“No! No! No!” screamed the toddler. He was not ready to go to bed, being fixated on finishing his building block project that he started a few minutes ago. Often, parents and their children are conflicted as to what is best for the child.
But a parent’s influence goes beyond such situations. Children not only can be influenced by the parents’ direct recommendations or rules but also by a parent’s emotional upsets. An upset need not be directed towards the child but if the child is present during a parent’s outburst towards others, it imprints subtly on the child. To what extent do these types of interactions affect a child? How much influence do parents have on their children’s lives? How can we best nurture our children?
Lakshmi Manchu asks Sadhguru to what extent our relationships with our parents impacts our lives.
