In Eastern culture, it is believed that the birth of a child is not random, but a result of karmic ties from past lives. The relationship between parents and children is destined; some children are born to repay a debt of gratitude, bringing happiness and luck, while others are born to seek revenge, testing their parents’ love and patience.
Children are karmic ties from past lives, either seeking gratitude or revenge
Folk beliefs hold that family members are connected by invisible threads from previous lives. A child’s birth is part of this karmic cycle and can bring either blessings or challenges to resolve past karma. Whether a blessing or a consequence of past actions, the child is still a manifestation of love and an invisible choice between two worlds.
A child who brings joy, is easy to care for and teach, and is considerate and obedient may be repaying a debt of gratitude, helping their parents find peace and maturity in their parental roles. On the other hand, if a child constantly causes tension in the family, is difficult to teach, or suffers from frequent illnesses, it is believed that this child may be seeking revenge, not as punishment, but as a reminder for their parents to show more love and resolve any past karma, turning negative energy into positive karmic ties.
Signs of a Child Seeking Gratitude, Bringing Blessings to the Family
1. The child eats and sleeps well and is easy to care for
A well-behaved child who is not picky about food and sleeps peacefully is every parent’s dream. Proper eating and sleeping habits contribute to the child’s physical development and reduce the burden on caregivers. When a child doesn’t frequently cry, refuse to eat, or struggle with sleep, parents can rest easier and have time to recharge and enjoy parenthood. An easy-going child is a clear sign of blessings in the family.
2. The child enjoys good health and rarely falls ill
Nothing worries parents more than a child who is frequently ill. Healthy children bring peace of mind to their parents and reduce financial, time, and emotional pressures on the family. Having a healthy child is considered a priceless asset and a blessing from the universe.
3. The child is cheerful, friendly, and rarely cries
A positive attitude is crucial for a harmonious family atmosphere. Cheerful and friendly children tend to have positive energy, reducing parental stress and fostering stronger family bonds. On the other hand, children who are frequently irritable or demanding can affect the overall mood of the household. A happy child indicates a harmonious energy match between parents and child, suggesting a deep connection from past lives.
4. The child is independent, a good listener, and easy to teach
Children who display self-discipline, independence, and a willingness to listen to their parents from an early age bring great blessings. Such children not only make parenting easier but also bring pride to the family. Having an obedient child is one of the greatest rewards of parenthood.
5. The child is considerate and filial from a young age
Some children, even at a young age, are attentive to their parents’ and grandparents’ emotions. They know when to be quiet when their mother is tired or to ask their father if he is sad. These small gestures demonstrate the child’s deep affection and good character. This is a sign of a child seeking gratitude, sent to repay a debt and bring happiness to the family.
If a child seeks revenge, show them even more love
Not all children bring “convenience” to their parents. Some children are challenging to raise, have strong personalities, or suffer from frequent illnesses or behavioral issues. Don’t be quick to blame or scold them, as you may be working through a debt from a past life together. When your child tests your patience, that’s when you need to show even more love, patience, and genuine guidance, turning negative karma into positive energy.
If your child is facing challenges, lead with love. Nurture, teach, and protect them with all your heart, and the karmic bond between you will improve, turning revenge into gratitude and suffering into peace.
A child’s arrival in your life is not a coincidence. Whether they are here to repay gratitude or seek revenge, they are still your flesh and blood and a special connection destined by the universe. Embrace them with love, teach them with patience, and know that in this process, you are also growing, accumulating blessings, and paving the way for future reunions filled with happiness and peace.
