Every parent wants their child to be happy, healthy and emotionally secure. Yet, according to Sadhguru, many parents may unknowingly be encouraging the opposite. It begins with something so common that most families don’t even realize it. A child comes home bursting with excitement after a good day at school, laughing loudly and running through the house. The response? “Stop shouting,” “Calm down,” “Why are you making so much noise?” But when that same child falls sick, has a rough day or breaks down crying, everything flips. Parents become softer and more attentive. As a result, the child gets comfort, concern and care.
However, Sadhguru says this seemingly harmless pattern could be sending children a quiet but powerful message: being unhappy gets you noticed. And that, according to him, is where the problem begins.
