What recommendations or suggestions would you give to parents who want their children to be as happy and fulfilled in their life as possible?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

There are a number of things but I think we are short of time. Do not make them sit in the virtual world for too long. Kids usually sit in front of television or computer for hours. Please do not let that happen. They live in a virtual world. And also the video games. I do not think that it is very good for them. Don’t you think so?

But you cannot totally avoid that. Take them out in the real world with real people around. The interactions with people will strengthen their personality. Ask them to make one new friend every day. There are a number of such things.
