They say that bringing up kids is the biggest responsibility a person can have, and there are tons of books on the topic. The Tibetans follow a unique 4-stage system to shape their children into responsible, self-sufficient, and respectful individuals.
During the first stage, from birth till the age of 5, kids are usually incredibly curious about everything around them. But they havent had any experience to learn from, and they cant make rational decisions yet. So if they do something wrong or dangerous, you should look and act scared and try to shift their attention to something else. Dont forget that your kid will never get this time back. Let them explore the world on their own terms.
Another 5 years down the road, until your childs 10th birthday, you should talk to them as if theyre a slave. You see, you cant just nurture their privileged royal side and neglect the diligent servant one. This phase is crucial because it balances everything out.
Its important to build a friendship with your kids during the 3rd stage, from 10 to 15. Kids at this age are starting to form their own personal opinions and tastes, and they want to share them with you. Never judge them for their views or interests, thatll only drive them away from you.
When the time comes for your childs 15th birthday, youll be entering the fourth and the final phase. Its time to respect them as an individual. Your child will be independent, self-sufficient, and respectful towards you as their parent and to others.
