The child resides within the Supreme, within the family of humanity, and within a specific human family simultaneously. The responsibility for teaching loving relationships is a challenging task for parents who may be overworked, undertrained, and struggling. The job of teaching our young brothers and sisters how to develop their minds, hearts, and souls is such an important task that it falls upon all shoulders in the cosmic family. The child represents a nearly limitless potential for Supremacy. The child who grows in the loving embrace of an extended human family experiences the kinship of humanity during the critical formative years.
Service becomes a natural extension of love for others.
Outreach becomes a natural extension of Gods love. A Philosophy of Family Many people of our society have pointed to the need for better child training. We will achieve better child training not by means of a specific theology or methodology for children but through an improved broad philosophy of family. It is not a program to separate and educate children that will support the family, but a process to incorporate and illuminate all family members. We need to recognize the desperate need for the extended family in our community and society as a whole.
