The message dated 19 March 2025 from the Universal House of Justice offers a vital framework for understanding the Baha’i perspective of family life. Notably, the House highlighted that “sound relationships that are to bind members of a Baha’i family are based on justice and reciprocity.” This session explores how these principles frame parenting and family dynamics, bridging Baha’i teaching with psychological science and moral education. We will discuss how this informs our conception of the “family” and parenting practices. Together, we will discuss how these insights can enrich our conversations with others about spiritual education.
