Acharya Prashant addresses the challenges of parenting, particularly the pressure parents place on children regarding academic performance and future careers. He emphasizes that parents and children are in the same situation together; therefore, any failure or success should be viewed as a collective experience rather than the sole responsibility of the child. He suggests that parents should stop viewing themselves as authoritative guides or coaches and instead see themselves as co-travelers who walk hand-in-hand with their children. By acknowledging that they are a team, parents can become more compassionate, forgiving, and realistic about expectations, rather than burdening the child with their own unfulfilled ambitions or societal pressures.
