About this ebook
Discover the secrets to nurturing your child's authentic freedom and creativity in this transformative guide to conscious parenting from renowned spiritual teacher Osho.
"Look into the eyes of a child—you cannot find anything deeper. The eyes of a child are an abyss, there is no bottom to them."—Osho
In The Book of Children: Supporting the Freedom and Intelligence of a New Generation, Osho presents a revolutionary approach to raising children that focuses on preserving their innate joy, playfulness, and natural creativity. He argues that by the time most children reach adulthood, these qualities have been sacrificed to the demands of productivity and good behavior, leaving only a nostalgic yearning for the freedom of childhood.
Despite the best intentions of each generation to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Osho observes that parents inevitably impose their own inherited limitations on their children. He calls for a "children's liberation movement" to break free from these old patterns and create space for a radically new way of relating as human beings.
This book serves as a guide for adults to become aware of their own conditioning and learn when to nurture and protect their children, and when to step back and allow them to blossom to their fullest potential. By breaking free of limiting belief systems and prejudices, adults can help the children in their lives to thrive.
Osho, described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century," is a provocative spiritual teacher whose influence continues to grow worldwide since his death in 1990. His teachings challenge readers to question and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness.
