The relationship of adults to children in the West is a little strained, from lack of ritual of transition from child to adult, misuse of reasoning with children, and even in the core competence of caring for babies. Giving birth has been included in the pathology of western medicine, taking place in the harsh, sterile environment of hospitals rather than homes; children locked into school rooms with other children they don’t know, and entry into an adult world which on the one hand sanctifies life and on the other bombs and exploits others.

Although there are specific techniques offered, the most significant upgrade is to the relationality with children. To forgo the notion of ‘childhood’ and to simply engage the human beings who are younger than ourselves, whether they are of our blood or not. There is much to be learned from our children, and this accounts for the second life that many adults find in their lives as they experience both the joy and the responsibility of having their own children.

Three lessons cover the three different periods of childhood:

• adolescents, breathing space, timings, welcome to adulthood, tribe
• children, curiosity, sharing, fairness, trust
• babies, sleep, conscious engagement, the courage of failure
• (pathology, and creating stronger relationships with traumatised children)

Techniques are shared on how to improve relations with adolescents, children and babies, from simple techniques to get one’s baby to sleep, to engaging the living enthusiasm of children, to providing a clear and practical framework for adolescents to accept the responsibility of their actions with other people.
