Acharya Prashant explains that a child learns far more from the parent's life and behavior than from words, toys, or facilities. He emphasizes that the child's learning is subliminal, as they absorb everything from the parent's presence, reactions to news, and general conduct in the house. Because the home is a place where a person's natural tendencies and weaknesses are expressed freely, the child is constantly observing the parent's prejudices, beliefs, and fears. Acharya Prashant warns that parents often mistakenly assume small children do not understand what is happening during ugly spats or quarrels, but it is during these moments that the child absorbs information most rapidly. He suggests that while it is important to think of the child's needs, it is even more critical for parents to take care of their own evolution. If a parent is an evolved being, their mere presence, the pitch of their voice, and the way they relate to others serve as a form of teaching. Ultimately, knowing what is good for oneself allows a parent to understand what is truly good for the child.
