| From a translation of Ilchi Lee’s book The Power of the Brain
Children who seem to be good and obedient on the outside are always struggling with themselves on the inside. The brains of children have their own formula for survival; they always seek to conform to their parents in everything, as a matter of instinct, in order to be loved. An even greater danger is that the poor relationships with parents that children develop when they are young will stay with them, in distorted form, on into adulthood. Unable to stand out boldly and play the leading roles in the story of their own lives, children grow up to be servile and timid, and live their lives trying to please others and live up to their standards. If you truly want your child to be happy, you should begin now training to see correctly, hear correctly, and feel correctly. Only then will you be able to properly raise your child. |
