L. Ron Hubbard has written a great deal about raising
children. In Scientology, children are recognized as
people who should be given all the respect and love
granted adults.
Scientologists believe children should be encouraged to
contribute to family life, not just be "seen and not
heard" as the old saying goes. Children are spiritual
beings, and as such they need to exchange with those
around them in order to thrive and live productive, happy
