How much control can a parent really have over their child?

Parents who wrongly think that they should and could
control their children will suffer bitterly.
Parents cannot control their children or any other
persons on earth. Kings and leaders also fail
desastrously for acting as gods upon their
subject.
A person may have some indirect influence on other people,
but it is not control. Each human being has mysterious ways
to express their independence and freedom. So, it is
best to seek agreement through mutual love and mutual respect,
instead of control, especially humanly narrow control.
Today, we are entering the Age of human maturity;
all people have to learn thinking with their own minds
and realize themselves with their free will.
In physical as well as in the physical Paradise,
only God is Supreme Authority,
while all human beings are equal collaborators.

Hold on Pal.. If you’re going to PREACH…then you’re leaving something out aren’t you? I read the Bible too…. Tell me if you heard this one…. “Parents, and the rods of disiplen less they make fools of you”….(Paraphrasing).. If you don’t CONTROL your Kids….We’ll just need more jails….

Yes, in the time of Christ we need control. That is how we had monarchs. New we need education, physical, human, and divine. So our societies need freely elected governments.

I remember my preacher doing a sermon about that.

New Addition For This Post

Abdu’l-Baha says:

“The more man strives along the degrees of attainment, the greater will be the unfoldment. The child born to the mother manifests this element of life in a more abundant degree than the child in the matrix. The display of the forces of life upon the arena of existence is incomparably greater than that of the dark and narrow world in which the babe lived for nine months. But when life attains to the summit of maturity, then its manifestations will be along many paths and cover many fields hitherto undreamed of.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 165)
