“It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.” ~ Ann Landers

We talk of climate change, pollution, gender equality, and all those things, so that our children have a better world with peace, joy and hope. But in the midst of all this good talk about a good world, we are forgetting that we need to leave better children, better people, a better generation for this good world which is in the making. Well, we need to leave behind a generation which is of the heart, soulful and in touch with the deepest levels of consciousness, to make this world a better place for future generations to come.

As my almost-10 year old boy is growing up to be a fine young man, I find it very important to leave this world with a better humanity, a better breed, brought up in an environment filled with happiness and serenity, for him to co-live with. I find a need to bring him up as a man with a fine strength of character, and with empathy and humaneness as very important qualities.

Even Harvard and Yale are tweaking their admission process from over-achieving in grades to kindness, as reported by Washington post recently.

So a few basic thoughts to leave a generation with conscious thoughts and actions are:

Learn to Meditate and Teach Children to Meditate:

Learn how to meditate. Teach your kids how to relax. Relax your mind; give some food for your soul. I have been doing Heartfulness Meditation and I have felt immense serenity and balance within me to handle this world. It has given me joy and peace too. It has taken child upbringing to an entirely higher newer level of consciousness. Heartfulness Relaxation Technique can be practiced even by a child.
