Satnaam Ji,
Dandauth Bandhana ji
I asked Baba ji once about bringing up the kids once. He said teach them what is right and wrong and leave the rest upto God. Remeber they have to live out their own karma regardless of your hopes and wishes for them. So just try your best and have faith in God f, do your own devotional loving worship of Satnaam (bhagti), and trust that Satnaam Satguru will take care of the kids. This is very simple advice, but so great too. Because most of the parents are stressed because they are worried "are my kids getting fat? Are they getting the best schools? Are they good enough at sports? Are they helping around the house? Are they listening to me? Are they well behaved? Are they religious enought?" And so on. So many things that cause parents stress about their kids, and also so many other things that cause parents stress as well - making money, paying bills, arguments with their spouse, bad health and so on.
Having a negative, stressful mind full of unfulfilled hopes and desires causes strss within the parent. For all the good wishes of the parents for their children, they only actually end up passing on their stress to the kids. This makes those kids and parents suffer more emotional , mental and physical illnesses. The stress is passed onto the children.
So Baba Ji's advice is so great, trust in God, do your best, stay relaxed in your own mind and your kids will benefit too.
