Upbringing a child can be one of the most fulfilling services that one can devote oneself to. But mere devotion doesn't help; it must be accompanied by right knowledge and understanding of what the real needs of a child are. Mankind has suffered the most because parenting failed to awaken the child to a life beyond one's primitive tendencies―resulting in insecure individuals who are driven by forces they least understand. Right parenting is subjected to individuals living rightly. Acharya Prashant puts it to raise a kid, raise yourself first.
