A YouTube video segment by Vishen Lakhiani arguing for conscious parenting: parents’ consciousness shapes the values implanted in children, which in turn determine societal outcomes. The speaker warns that unexamined beliefs transmitted to children (‘‘pollution’’) produce prejudiced adults and social conflict; he frames raising consciousness as essential for a better future.

The reason why we belong to these tribes, these countries and we go into war is because we were raised unconsciously. And that's why I teach conscious parenting because I believe it is the consciousness of the parent that defines the evolution of the future. My mission and message in conscious parenting is not about like oh you know coochie cooing with your child and take them on a date and what is the good thing to say to your child to eat the green beans. I'm like sl that I care about what you're putting into their mind so that later in life they're not taking it off. If what is going into the child's mind is a whole load of pollution and contamination then you will get the racist sexist ethnocentric adult who will spill blood because they were taught that this is who it is they are. But saying I hate you and fighting with them in the war of today does nothing for the tomorrow. A rise in consciousness is the only way.
