A short YouTube monologue by Vishen Lakhiani on conscious parenting: the speaker argues that parenting reflects each adult's unhealed childhood wounds and asks whether we are raising the real child or the child inside ourselves. The piece frames adults as still-childlike beneath social roles, implying parenting requires self-awareness of one's own unresolved emotional patterns.

What does it mean to be a conscious parent? It's to realize that to every moment in your life, but mostly to your parenting, you are bringing your unhealed wounds from your childhood. So the raising of the child becomes the eternal question. Which child are we raising? Are we raising the real child or the child within each one of us? Because all of us sitting here today and all watching are just children, just more adult, more ready to pay a bill or two. But really, we are tantruming, screaming, crying, desperate in our children.
