The irony that the cover says Do Not Open yet... you know the rest. -

It shows perfectly the simplicity of life itself...esüecially it´s a wonderful reminder that we have all the gifts in us already. Thank you so much Archana and the whole Asmakam-team ! -

How much we are all controlled by the dictates of this culture. So much that we can't see what is happening right before our very eyes. May we ALL wake up and come home to ourselves. -

It's so heart touching to see our short film "the Lost Gift|" included on such divine and inspiring platforms of Karma Tube and Daily Goods.
We are an unschooled family and Asmakam -www.asmakam.org is our initiative to create awareness in parents and society on state of current education system and self learning options available for children.
Sincere gratitude and love to everyone who watched and shared our short film among their social networks. We hope they the message of this film inspires parents to become conscious parents, and educators and institutes to become sensitive to the little divine souls they are in service for.

Children are our future. Take time and listen to and observe them allow them to explore their world. Adults can learn from children we don't always need to be in control. -

I appreciate the couple I know who does see who their child is and I realize this is a challenge and great opportunity every day. Sending loving hope and health to all families. It was also wonderful to see another culture. We are all one and unique. -

Now at this time where we are rebuilding our societies, it is important to take lessons from the children who come here unjaded and with a brilliant inner knowing we can all benefit from. Who is to say we've been doing it right? Where has it all gotten us but lost in insignificant things like greed and power when those are simply evidence of being cutoff from the endless well of benevolence that is SOURCE. Let us learn from the children that if you don't want to do something its your inner guidance telling you its not for you. We would all live much more genuine happy lives with such transparency. -

The questions to ask; “what is important?â€, “what is success?â€, “what is progress?†Sometimes what is important to the parents is not important to the child. Gifts exchange when there is a dialog in this relationship. It takes wisdom to be a parent and to listen, and hear who they are and still guide them on their path. -

How infectious is our greed and insecurity, that we have forgotten faith in higher self and want to paint the world as per our colors which are already polluted. Forcing to child is like a snatching the branch to get flower -

The utmost truth is written and the emotional take of this boy to let him just be. Himself. Listening to what he has to say, truly deep listening and not carving out a life, where he needs to be something, present soemthing for the outside world and to satisfy the parents, but to just be, with ginity love and opportunities to unfold and grow as a person. -

I have a 17 and 20 year old. I made many mistakes when my kids were younger; I continue to error, although hopefully not as much and not as badly. I could've used this film 20 years ago...but I probably wouldn't have listened; I wasn't ready for it. I am a very different person today than I was 20 years ago. I think every new parent should watch and listen to Abeer's words. In fact, I'm going to send this to my students, who might be prospective parents. -

Such a touching film and well done. I think another mistake parents often make is based on the fact that they want their children to be better than they are and “he’s not going to make all the mistakes and do the stupid things I did. “ Too bad their isn’t good schooling for parenting. Children often suffer from our stupidity and fears. -

I do not have children, however I recognize that once we accept the expectations other than our own we lose a piece of ourselves until we forget who we really are, and we pass this on to the next generation. Like Kahil Gabran (sp?)wrote - Children are a gift and see them as so - they will go out into the world as themselves, not another drone of societal expectations.

- Read about one mother's celebration of her unique child.
- Reflect on Khalil Gibran's advice to parents.
- Make a conscious effort to affirm the children in your life for who they are.
