How can we ensure that our children maintain their original face?

"Protect your child's original face by allowing them to remain in the freshness of the present, free from the burdens of identity and ambition. Nurture their aliveness through silence, play, and wonder, so their consciousness can flourish unencumbered."
According to Osho, a child’s “original face” is thought-free, fresh, divine presence—your very subjectivity, here and now. It fades under society’s conditioning, ambitions, and labels. To help children keep it, don’t burden them with identities or success-obsessions, or send them chasing God “there.” Protect their aliveness: honor silence, play, wonder, and awareness, so consciousness remains without unnecessary thoughts and their depth isn’t covered by layers.
Let kids stay quiet inside and curious outside—don’t load them with labels, beliefs, or pressure; give love, space, and presence.
