An ideal child is one that can set good example for others. He is a
role model. He is kind, caring and compassionate. He always listens to his
parents, teachers, and sadhus. An ideal child attends sabha regularly and
behaves when it is going on. He also studies hard and excels in school. We
should all be ideal children in order to please Maharaj and Swami. Jay

An ideal child is one who does nothing against the Shikshapatri. He
wakes up early every morning, remembers Maharaj, and goes to take a
shower. After a bath, he does his puja. When puja is done, he goes to
mandir and does darshan of divine Akshar-Purshottam. After that, he bows
down to his parents and then only does he eat his breakfast. At school, he
remembers Maharaj and Swami many times during the day. He does shloka
before eating lunch. At home, he does his homework and asks his parents if
anything can be done to help around the house. At bedtime, he goes to his
bed, prays to Maharaj and Swami and asks for forgiveness if he made any
mistakes during the day. He falls asleep with the name of Maharaj on his
lips.

Jai Swaminarayan. To be an ideal child, we must learn about life as we
grow.We must pay attention to elders as they know much more things and
facts than ourselves. But the most important thing/person/creation we must
listen to is our atma. Also Bhagwan Swaminarayan has risked his life just
for who? For us.We must take things carefully and listen to others.If we
have a problem as we grow,who is there for us?? Maharaj!

I feel that nobody is an ideal child. We are all humans and we all
mistakes. Even though it is believed that an ideal child would pray
regularly, not eat out, follow all of Swamishri's footsteps, many times as
a human we commit mistakes which makes us no longer ideal. I believe an
ideal child is one that TRIES to follow Swamishri's footsteps.

If one follows bapa's agnas and abides(lives) by the rules maharaj has
given us in the shikshapatri, then that person is adarsh.

I feel that the qualities that make up a good ideal child are trust,
honesty, politeness, willingness, and bhakti. I feel that trust and
honesty are characteristic traits that should be present in an ideal child
because how is a child ideal if they tell lies and you can't trust them?
An ideal child should be polite too. They can't talk back to people who
are older than themselves. Ideal childrem must not be rude to others and
they should remember the golden rule, "If you have nothing nice to say,
then say nothing at all." An ideal child must be willing to accomplish any
good task without becoming discouraged as Maharaj says in Vachanamrut
Gadhada 1 - 16, Vivekinu. And last, ideal children must practice bhakti
towards God. If they don't worship Him, then how can they be called ideal
children? Just in this way, to become and ideal child, you have to have
the characteristic traits of truth, honesty, politeness, willingness, and
bhakti. Without these, you wouldn't be able to succeed in your childhood,
let alone your adulthood. Jay Swaminarayan

I think an ideal child should be a child that everyone can look up to.
He should be the one to not only follow the niyams and agnas of Swamishri
but elders around him. He should be trustworthy, polite and have a good
personality. If he is not good at something he should be willing to learn
and improve in whatever he likes doing. Most of all he should gain Bapas
rajipo.

Jai swaminarayan! An ideal child (gujarati def: An Adarsh
Balak/Balika) always listens to their parents and follows the agna of
swamibapa(Pramukh Swami)and never hits anybody. Every month, they try and
make their friend come to the mandir and bal/balika sabha. They never make
bad friends and follows the niyams from the shikshapatri. These are all
the qualities that an ideal/adarsh balak has. Jai Swaminayan!

An ideal child: the apple of everyone's eye. The qualities that make
one an ideal child in the eyes of many are not given to him/her at the
hour of their birth; when for the first time they breath and take in the
sweet scent of Mother Earth and its surroundings. Such characteristics are
only learned, through what many hindus know as "good sanskar." What is
sanskar? It is the manner and ideals that a parent holds the burden to
present to their child. However, the child, as in us, holds the greater
burden to learn these principals. Let us cover the traits required to earn
the title of 'ideal child.' Initially, respect is an important quality one
longs for in all. Respect to your elders, to your guru/teachers, to
other's possessions; respect can even be showed by not picking a beautiful
flower from another's courtyard without their permission. Another equally
significant trait is that of the humbleness present; to eliminate the ego
within and let the innocence permeate through all. For example, seva: in
seva, when one does a task, one should not go around boasting about how
much we have accomplished…an ideal child has such innocence within their
soul, simply adding to their glowing charisma. And an ideal child is the
apple of everyone’s eye.

An ideal child is no ordinary child or kid. An ideal child should be
someone who has a dignity, but also the one who cares about their parents,
friends, teachers, studies, and their relatives. As a satsangi some of the
qualities we should have are bowing to our parents, after puja, doing puja
regularly, getting good grades, following all the agnas of swamishri, and
wherever we go either its school or a function we should bring pride to
our guru (Prumukh swami Maharaj) and our parents. An ideal child has to
wake up early before sun is out, knows how to manage time, and studies
hard, they also pray before meals, dose arti regularly, good company which
also includes spiritual company, dose seva, goes to weekly Sabha, is very
clean, and is polite to everyone. We should also inspire others to do
satsang, do ekadahi(fast), satsang exams, ghar sabha, having good satsang
knowledge, try’s hard for everything and at last dose their bedtime
prayer.

There are two wings to Akshardham. Agna and upasana. One of the ways
we can be an ideal child is to follow Bapa's agna. Not just Bapa's agna,
but whatever your parents tell you and whatever your teachers and sadhus
say too. These things make you an ideal child. Also Yogi Bapa used to say
that we should study for at least 3-5 hours a day. If we do study and
follow the agna's of all of our teachers, then we are said to be an ideal
child.

An ideal child is called an "Adarsh Balak" in gujrati. Swamibapa has
always told us to be an Adarsh Balak.The qualities of an ideal child are;
respecting our parents and gurus and of course following their "agna".
Which includes doing "tilak chandlo every morning, bowing down to your
parents after pujA and all the things that are mentioned in the
shikshaparti. An ideal child takes the "guns" from other ideal balaks, but
does not see faults in them. He or she does not get jealous of others and
is not mean or rude to anyone younger then them. This is what an ideal
bal/balika would and should do. And we should all try to be like that! JAI
SWAMINARAYAN!

Jai Swaminarayan I belive that an ideal child firstly should belive in
god. He/she should always listen to his guru, santos,parents and elder
siblings. An ideal child doesn't quarrel over things such as clothes, food
ect. They should always attend balak/balika sabha which occurs every
sunday. They should be have at their best level at the sabha. They should
not be talking to others during the sabha, they shouldn't fight for games
that should be played in sabha not only that but they should never waste
prasad because it has been offered to god. An ideal child would always
perfom puja and ghar sabha. They would respect their elders. An ideal
child doeasn't not even eat food from hotels and resturants just to please
their god and guru. They mainly focus on studies rather than wasting their
time on computer and television. So friends we should try to become an
ideal child to please our god, guru and family. Jai Swaminarayan

Things that make me an ideal child are that I help my parents around
the house a lot. I do a lot of chores, I also sometimes make like a small
dinner if my parents work late. I also never forget to hand in my
homework. I make sure that I complete everything and understand what I am
doing. I love helping everyone. I makes you feel good inside. Help and be
an ideal child if you want to not because someone forces you to.

Jay Swaminarayan, I think a child who obeys the commandments of his
parents,teachers,and guru is ideal. An ideal child should respect his
elders and never talk back. He should always show a desire to do seva,puja
and go to sabha. An ideal child always keeps firm faith in god and the
sadguru.Prahlad was an ideal child.He kept firm faith in god and never
gave up in worshipping god.We to should strive to be like him.

respect elders and obey them, they go to bal sabha daily, always follows

daily , and always shows a positive attitude. Jai swaminarayan.
