Acharya Prashant addresses a question from a father who wants to provide his six-year-old daughter with the right education. The speaker broadens the question for all parents, acknowledging that while the existing formal education system provides knowledge of language, science, and mathematics, it is crucial to impart life education in parallel. He emphasizes that life education is perhaps even more necessary than formal education. Before discussing what to teach, Acharya Prashant stresses the importance of first stopping the flow of distorted education and inferior values to the child. He advises parents to first identify and close all the avenues through which such negative influences reach the child. He suggests that before one can give the right life values, one must stop the wrong education. He says that the first step is to become like a child for a day and observe all the influences that affect them. Many things that adults consider normal, such as their conversations or the media they consume, can be harmful to a child's impressionable mind. A child is like a cotton ball, absorbing everything around them. He provides several examples to illustrate his point. Movies certified for adults due to violence are not shown to children, yet similar or worse scenes unfold live in their own homes. Music with painful lyrics, which is harmful even for adults, is played in front of children. Advertisements on the radio and television, the behavior of cheerleaders during sports matches, and even the food choices at restaurants all instill certain values in a child. He criticizes the trend of parents being proud that their child is weak in Hindi and only understands English, linking this to a materialistic mindset. He argues that this disconnects the child from their cultural and spiritual heritage, such as the Gita. He points out that the gaming industry, which is much larger than the film industry, also has a significant, often negative, impact on children. Acharya Prashant concludes that the greatest expression of love for one's children is for the parents to reform themselves first. One cannot be corrupt and expect their child to be virtuous; a shallow life cannot lead to a deep life for the child. He states that taking someone's life is a crime, but a greater crime is to give birth to a child and then corrupt them, subjecting them to a lifetime of suffering. The first and most urgent step is to stop poisoning the child's mind. Only then will providing them with the right values and education become easier and more effective.
