STABLE FAMILY & CHILDREN

How to raise a happy, healthy child is not something most parents are taught. In fact, many just stumble through the entire process, albeit with the best intentions. Consequently, it is all too common to find an unhappy state of affairs in families, with constant friction between parents and children.

It is not a natural state of affairs. In fact, it can be avoided entirely. L. Ron Hubbard developed many methods to bring out the best in a child — and his or her parents. In this section, you will read about some of these methods and discover how to raise a child without breaking his spirit, how to have a child who is willing to contribute to the family, and how to help a child quickly get over the daily upsets and tribulations of life.

Creating a stable family environment and raising children should be a joy. And can be. In fact, it can be one of the most rewarding of all human experiences.

Personal successes

“I have been happily married for 21 years, I am the mother of three beautiful boys and I am a Scientologist. Before I began in Scientology, I lived day to day, constantly wondering if there was a purpose to my life. I had trouble establishing social relationships and difficulty communicating with others. Now I know where I am going, I know my purpose in life and I create my future day by day. I have not only raised my children but successfully overcome difficulties one can encounter in a family. I am very happy and I am certain that without Scientology my life would not be as good as it is now. Anyone who finds out about Scientology for himself will experience the greatest adventure of his life.”
– M.G.F.

“We have three diverse and dynamic careers going in our family — figure skater, composer/arranger and singer/composer/playwright. Staying on top of everything is a real trick. I find that any time I start to feel overwhelmed there is always some piece of L. Ron Hubbard technology that sees me through. I am completely confident that I will always come out on top as long as I apply the technology of Scientology.”
– R.K.C.

“Eighteen years ago, Scientology saved my marriage and my business. It also liberated me from drugs and alcohol. Now, my family and I are prospering as never before. With total clarity and certainty I can see now what I only dimly suspected back then: that my life was headed down a long, dark chute to nowhere. Only one thing altered that course for me and that was the ultimate truth and wisdom contained in the writings of L. Ron Hubbard.”
– T.J.

“In this course one can find a guide to better raise, understand and teach his or her child or children. I now understand how to get a child to communicate his/her thoughts and feelings after seeing arguments, disputes, etc. This course helps one to realize that a child is a person too with feelings, emotions and a personality of its own. The course teaches you to allow the child to grow into his/her own person and not to try to dictate a personality to him or her. Children are not to be trained like dogs, they are not puppies, they are little people who will grow up to be our future.”
– R.B.

“Scientology counseling has expanded my reach for my family, my friends and mankind. I really want to help them survive. I find I have very little attention on myself personally as I have personal fulfillment, leaving time for involvement in my children’s schooling and community activities. I now have a high personal esteem for my friends and family.”
– B.L.

“If anyone had told me years ago that I would be where I am today I would not have believed them, but here I am! I have an absolutely wonderful marriage. My husband and I have a growing and happy relationship. We can talk to our children about anything and they know they can talk to us. This fact alone is the most valuable thing about Scientology — it helps people get into real communication. Even my parents who are not Scientologists tell me the world would be a wonderful place if all children were as active, helpful and honest as ours are.”
– D.M.

“I have had tons of wins, I mean, where do you begin? Scientology is an applied religious philosophy, so you have to apply it to get the wins from it. Some of the wins I have had are that I just celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary and during that time I have done my share of marriage counseling at the Church. The wins are too much to explain. You are able to live life better. I would say that I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am today if I hadn’t done those courses and the training. Family life is better, life is better. Life makes a lot more sense since I have done training.”
– M.B.

“This course has given me the knowledge needed to help my own children and other children. I started using the technology I learned from this course right away on my kids and on a kid from my kid’s class at school, and I see how it has helped them. It makes me feel so good. I find myself smiling inside just thinking about it.”
– L.M.

“Scientology has helped me bring up a teenage boy in a troubled world. We are the best of friends. With Scientology and the precepts of The Way to Happiness by L. Ron Hubbard, I have gotten through the rough years.”
– B.C.

“Since becoming a Scientologist I feel very stable and a lot happier than I did before. My understanding of this world was almost nonexistent before Scientology. Now life isn’t a mystery to me anymore. I’m not afraid or worried about my past, present or future. I’m now able to handle difficult situations with Scientology technology. I continue to maintain a happy marriage and good relationships with my friends and family. I can’t imagine life without Scientology.”
– G.B.

“Twenty-five years ago, I attended a lecture which described man in a new and exciting way. The memory is still clear and sharp to me, as it marked the beginning of my association with Scientology. It was exactly what I had been looking for. I found answers to my deepest questions and solutions to my problems.

“It explained so many things. Finding Scientology was like coming home after a long journey. I lost my shyness and fear of water. My health and my attitude toward life, my understanding of myself and others as spiritual beings improved with each new step in Scientology. Today, I am married and the father of two happy, drug-free, responsible daughters. Living is an enjoyable game. I strongly recommend Scientology—to everyone!”
– K.J.

“I have been involved in the Scientology religion for 25 years and it has helped me tremendously in understanding my own true nature and thereby improving my life.

“What I learned in Scientology has helped me in every area of living. I have had a wonderful 22-year relationship with my husband and we work as a team. I have two great kids of whom I am very proud. They are happy, responsible and able to grow up drug-free as a result of their own moral code. They respect others and communicate well. All of these things I have in my life as a result of Scientology. It gave me the tools, and then I applied them to my life to change conditions.

“Now when I meet new people each day, I see how rough life can be for them and how it so adversely affects them. I know I have a spiritual technology that can truly help them, and I do help them. Scientology has given me the viewpoint that it is my responsibility to do so.”
– D.G.

“Scientology gave me and my family a new life. It enabled my kids to survive ‘teenage madness.’ It has enabled me to understand people so I can cooperate with others. I have increased my ability to help others just by talking and listening to them.”
– J.D.

“I have been involved in the real estate industry for more than 20 years and work with my husband as his business partner. And although that is what I do professionally, the job that is nearest and dearest to my heart is raising our daughter and son. In today’s culture, our children are challenged as never before to grow up with a sense of decency, honor and integrity. Values that were the historical underpinnings of this country are under constant attack from music, movies, literature, television, the Internet, educational curriculum and political sensationalism. As parents, we are challenged to guide our children through this cultural morass and have them emerge as happy, productive individuals. How do we do that?

“Scientology has given those answers to us, provided moral values and guidance. As a result, our children are happy, ethical, goal oriented individuals who approach life with confidence. The answers and parental tools found in Scientology are a priceless gift.”
– J.M.

“Before Scientology, I felt lost in life. Even though I had caring friends and a good family, my life was full of problems—relationships, money, career. Things just continued to get worse and I did not know what to do about it.

“Then I found out about Scientology and instantly my life began turning around. I met the man of my dreams and we married. Today we have a wonderful little girl and live in a beautiful home we restored ourselves. I am happy in my career and totally happy in life. It seems like a miracle to me, but I know I made it all come true because by applying the principles of Scientology, living becomes a fun game to play and I finally know the rules!”
– S.D.

“Scientology has changed my whole life for the better. It has given me a better understanding of myself, of others and of life. I have much more respect for myself and others. I am much more able to truly help my friends and family. Using what I learned, I became an active member of the community helping to bring people together and to create a better world for us all—a world without war, crime and insanity. I love my life. I am healthy, happy, I have a great family and can be a true friend to others. Even strangers approach me with their problems because they say they feel I really understand and they trust me even when they just met me. Scientology has helped me achieve that understanding and through its teachings I have learned to communicate better with others. I am making a safer environment.”
