Sadhgurus Top 5 Parenting Tips: As rapidly as today’s world is changing for children, new challenges are also arising in front of parents. Earlier, children’s lives were limited to family, neighborhood and a few friendships, but now they are exposed to the Internet, social media, content creators, games and countless external influences. In such an environment, the traditional method of parenting like harsh discipline, giving orders or interfering in everything no longer works. Today children need an environment where they feel safe and free. Sadhguru always emphasizes that parents should be understanding friends, not controlling bosses, in their children’s lives. They believe that children are not the property of their parents, but are independent souls who come into this world through their parents. Therefore, the job of parents is not to mold them, but to help them find their identity.
Today’s child does not learn only from school, relatives and books; He learns from all over the world. To understand this changing generation, parents will also have to learn how to listen, how to talk, how to build trust and how to leave aside unnecessary worries and let the child grow at his own pace.
Keeping this in mind, here are 5 best parenting tips from Sadhguru, which every parent can adopt to build a better, deeper and trusting relationship with their child.
1. Parents should be friends first, not bosses
Sadhguru often says that today’s generation listens less to their parents because they do not see them as friends. Children share their thoughts with friends because they think their friends will understand but their parents will not.
When parents behave like friends, the child talks openly, shares his problems and also accepts advice easily. Becoming friends does not mean giving up control, but creating an emotional connection.
2. Do not impose excessive expectations on children
Sadhguru explains that many parents start imposing things on their children which they themselves could not achieve. Like scoring the best marks, being perfect in everything or getting ahead of others.

He says, “If your child is four years old and you are worried about his marks, then the problem is not in the child, but in your thinking.” Every child has his own pace and interests; Understanding that is true upbringing.
3. Don’t try to control children
Sadhguru clearly says that children are not the property of their parents. They grow up with their own experiences and understand the world in their own way.
If the parents control every step, the child either gets scared or starts rebelling.
Give up control, give guidance, this is the balance.
4. Keep the home environment comfortable and happy
Children become what they see every day. If there is an atmosphere of tension, quarrel or always complaining in the house, then the child unknowingly absorbs the same energy within himself.

Sadhguru says that the more calm, happy and balanced the parents are, the more secure the child will feel. The environment at home has the first impact on the child, hence keep the house light, simple and full of communication.
5. Listen carefully to what the child says
Many parents start giving advice without listening to their children completely. Due to this the child feels that his words have no meaning. Sadhguru says first listen, then understand, then answer.
When the child understands that his words are valued, only then will he listen to you.
