Teaching Your Unborn Child : หน้า 47/207

Being born a human requires not only the combination of the father's sperm and the mother's egg, but also the spiritual conception of the child in the womb. The tiny being can only begin life in the mother's womb under the condition that it possessed kamma, either merit or demerit, at a level similar to that of his parents at the time of conception. As a result, if the parents are healthy, good, and kind hearted, there is a good chance that the conception of a child will take place in the mother's womb. Teaching the baby should begin before pregnancy and it requires the parents to maintain wholesomeness in body, speech and mind. Parents should eliminate all bad behaviors and observe the Five Precepts diligently in preparation for the conception of the child. At the very least, the new parents must begin training themselves well even before entering the marriage. As soon as they realize that the wife is pregnant, they should try even harder to attend to the fetus. They must become even more attentive to their actions, whether it is walking, moving, consuming food (especially the spicy kind), consuming alcohol of all sorts, taking medicine, or even displaying a bad temperament. The parents have to make sure that these things do not affect them because they have a tendency to influence the baby's behavior. The Warm Hearted Family 93 Teaching your Unborn Child
