You want your child to use that inner eye that babies have, even stronger than adults do, for spirit development and reflection. For voyaging. For remote viewing. You can develop E.S.P and imagery in your baby if you inculcate, train that faculty.
When you tell stories to the child, at bedtime, speak with words that provide interesting mental pictures. Go into detail. Not just a fuzzy lamb but a lamb with clover hanging out of his mouth, chewing. Not just a dark forest but one with little angel Ghosts who live inside all the trees and keep the baby squirrels warm.
At night when they are trying to relax to sleep, help them make the transition to the spiritual plane, suggesting that they will sleep with the highest, loftiest angels as you have taught their brains to envision. Sing a lullaby but improvise lyrics every single night, so it's different. "Little lamb in your straw bed, close your eyes and rest your head. Your lamb Momma's fur shoulder's warm. She'll see baby won't come to harm. Wolf outside will not come in. Rain or snow or traffic's din. Night is quiet, night is your friend. Still your breath and go dreams tend."
The child will get new rhymes every single night. Just improvise; rhyming comes. Rarely do you get stumped! You'll see. Just start rhyming when you hold your baby or sit next to him while his head is on the pillow.

into the physical plane, like where we are so perhaps we should help
them connected like you said socializing , basically with respect , which
is not the case in the controlling
materialistic parenting style , cry your self
to sleep little man.non-tech.
When i was an infant, I remember lying in that dark room ALL BY MYSELF, laying there forever, enveloped in lost black hole of longing ness, forgetting to inhale, staring at the bars on my crib, which was positioned against the wall with door. so i could see the light from the door opening my heart skipping a beat of joy, but all that was was being checked on to see if i was OK , AND WHEN THEY SAW I was "OK", they closed the door and left me to my own defenses.
I think the main point is control, obedience and the long term effects on child. Parents have to care about the spiritual , but are not most caught up them selves in the rat in the cage thing spinning the hamster wheel . and they have these kids on a schedule in the material world . kids need routines like the bedtime ritual of tooth brushing, stories, prayers. Not just the parent telling you are tired, go to bed.
It is not easy raising individual thinkers who now how to take care of there own bodies and minds , my husband still says oh god i should have let him cry to sleep, he thinks john is needy because of that, but his relationship with john is weak link . we walked that colicky baby for years and still do, and the kids always slept with us not that is what you are writing about
Are you pointing towards the angry violent kids of today ? if so, do more on that behavior, you know like dictator parenting produces violence. also, clarify more on the eating mood disorder behaviors if that , which i think it is , an important point. also, that strange things that occur in society like gang warfare or cult suicide or religious fanaticism and terrorists is nothing more than a good picture of good boys and girls having obedience to paternal figures and their suggestions. Well the remedy towards my blotched up parenting is conflict resolution/limits . and considering everyone's feelings. I get upset when i think about what is the norm these days for most children and their parents but it is the parents' job to change patterns and like you point out this is the new millennium and if we don't change we will get to where we are going , fast too, like to hell in a hand basket.
OKAAAAAY.
