Every parent hopes for a healthy and well-behaved child who brings joy to the family. However, not all children come to their parents with positive energy. Some children bring happiness and fulfillment to their parents’ lives, while others can be a source of stress and worry, almost as if they are “here to collect a debt.”
In Eastern spirituality, it is believed that a child’s arrival in a family is a result of karmic connections from past lives. Some children are believed to be a blessing, while others are here to repay karmic debts, and some are even believed to collect on past-life debts. Regardless of the category, parents should always shower their children with unconditional love.
If you have a child who is a blessing, cherish and nurture that sacred bond. If your child seems to be “collecting a debt,” use your love to transform any negative karma into positive energy.
Here are five common signs of children who are believed to bring good fortune and are considered a “blessing” to their parents, bringing them luck, prosperity, and happiness:
1. The child has a healthy appetite and sleeps well, making them easy to care for
One of the clearest signs of a child with positive energy is their regular eating and sleeping habits, making them easy to care for. A child who eats well and sleeps soundly will not only develop holistically but also bring peace of mind to their parents.

When a child eats and sleeps well, parents have more time to rest, work, and enjoy life. On the other hand, a child who frequently cries, is fussy about eating, and sleeps restlessly can cause stress and tension in the family. Thus, it is believed that a child who eats and sleeps well is a blessing, spreading comfort and happiness in the family.
2. The child is generally healthy and rarely falls ill
Nothing worries parents more than a child who is frequently sick. A child with robust health and strong immunity not only alleviates parental anxiety but also reduces financial and emotional burdens on the family. When a child is healthy, parents can focus on their careers and ambitions, often resulting in improved finances and overall well-being.
As the old saying goes, “Health is wealth.” This holds for children too. Children with strong immune systems tend to be cheerful, active, and adaptable to their surroundings. This is a clear sign of a child who brings positive energy to their parents.
3. The child is cheerful, smiles often, and rarely cries
The laughter of a child is a panacea for parental exhaustion. A child who smiles frequently, maintains a cheerful disposition, and rarely cries is likely to be optimistic, emotionally stable, and receptive to love.
Such a child contributes to a positive family atmosphere. On the other hand, a child who is frequently irritable and cries a lot can negatively affect the mood of the parents and the overall family dynamics. Therefore, a child with a sunny disposition and a sociable nature is a precious gift to the family.

4. The child displays self-reliance and helps their parents from an early age
A self-disciplined and independent child is a source of pride for any parent. A self-reliant child not only makes parenting easier but also lays the foundation for a responsible and resilient adult.
If your child starts showing signs of self-reliance early on, such as making their bed, tidying up their toys, feeding themselves, or being attuned to your emotions, it is a strong indication that they are grateful and aware. These children tend to have strong intuition, are observant, and eager to learn. They are not overly dependent on their parents and strive to become a source of support in the future.
5. The child is affectionate and caring towards their parents
Even at a young age, some children express their filial piety through simple gestures: saving the best food for their parents, offering a back rub when they sense fatigue, or inquiring about their parents’ well-being when they seem unhappy. These behaviors indicate a child with a rich emotional intelligence, a high EQ, and a strong familial bond.
Filial piety is not something that needs to wait until adulthood to manifest. It can start with small acts of kindness from an early age. A child who displays filial piety early on is a blessing to the family and a testament to the continuation of positive karmic connections from past lives.
Is your child a blessing or here to collect a debt?
Regardless of your child’s characteristics, parenting requires patience, tolerance, and unconditional love. If your child brings joy, health, laughter, and filial piety, consider yourself blessed, as they are a “lucky star” that brings prosperity to the family.
On the other hand, if the journey of raising your child is filled with challenges and exhaustion, view it as an opportunity for self-improvement and a chance to transform old karmic connections. Love has the power to transform everything.
Do you see these signs in your child? If so, cherish and nurture them every day to prolong this good fortune!
