I have been an avid reader of Sangeetha Sriram's fascinating blog on conscious parenting . I posted a question in her blog recently. I was so enthralled by her answer that I felt strongly to share it with the readers of my blog.
Venky: A question came into my mind while I was watching one day few kids playing with their mother in the train. The kid in his playful mirth was enjoying the sights of the train. His mother was feeding him some rice packed in a small box. The kid picked some rice and started rubbing them in the mother's skin. The mother immediately rebuked saying, "Aren't you a good boy?"
As I heard this line, I began to wonder, isn't this how we were brought up. Defining the world in terms of good and bad until we grow up and evolve and see that there is nothing good or bad and these polarities are indeed causing a lot of trouble in the world. So my question to you is: How do we ensure that kids' minds aren't conditioned in these polarities? Have you faced such situation before? How did you handle it?
