THIS is the biggest mistake parents are making according to @doctorshefali, renowned clinical psychologist and spiritual teacher.
This whole idea that we need to raise a successful child. That is a myth. From a young age, we're training our children to go off to college. Children don't even have a childhood anymore because of the parents' anxiety and desire to control the future, which in the parents' mind, because they're indoctrinated, is I need to raise a kid who is a superstar, which means wealthy, elite, with a good career. But when that is the sole focus, you miss the process. You miss It's the essence of who your child is, and you actually fill your child with anxiety about the future. I want my child to be happy, the institution of happiness. Our entire culture is chasing happiness. Well, that is a disease. It's a toxic way to live, to parent, to be parented, because when our focus is on happiness, we miss the process that occurs in this present moment.
