Ask Osho!

Does a child have the same right to privacy and freedom from parental conditioning as parents expect for themselves?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True love does not mold; it protects individuality, allowing the child the freedom to grow and become themselves."

According to Osho, yes: the child deserves the same right to privacy and freedom from conditioning that adults claim. Our new maturity reveals the child as humanity’s most hidden slave, exploited behind a facade of love. True love does not mold; it protects individuality. Parents should offer care and intelligent guidance without intrusive control, allowing the child space to grow, inquire, and become himself or herself.
Let kids have their own space and choices—love them, don’t control them.
