Parents can get the idea that as long as they feed, clothe and have a home that keeps their children warm and protected from the weather that they are providing the best for their children.
The “Spiritual” teachings of the soul are not satisfied when just the physical needs are met. The inner soul grows with the lessons learned in life, and from them comes courage, self confidence, and the coping skills to live life.
By “Spiritual” I don’t mean ghosts etc, I mean the level or type of teaching that improves the inner person, the soul.
Providing a child with all the physical and material things does not affect the soul of the child, except in many cases the child becomes ungrateful, uncaring, selfish and demanding.
The inner-child needs to be taught from the beginning. When parents avoid the work of the soul then they deny the child the opportunity to cope as an adult.
Many parents feel that sending the children to school will teach them to be courageous, confident and successful. Many hope that sports will do this for the child. Schools teach subjects, none are of life-education, sports teaches the sport skills but not life skills etc.
Life skills are learned from the Mother and Father, no one else can teach these.
How to be a man, husband, a gentleman can only be taught by the child’s interactions with the father.
Mother/Wife skills can only be taught by the mother.
How to cope with life, growing in courage and confidence only comes from being in nature with loving parents who want to be there for their own children. It takes many years and cannot be done at school. Life skills come from life experiences, with tender loving parents guiding their young.
All the best from
