Here Ra describes lessons of love:
"No matter what the lessons programmed, they have to do with other-selves, not with events. They have to do with giving, not receiving, for the lessons of love are of this nature both for positive and negative."
As for the children/parents discussion, this is from the same Q/A as the above, which has to do with some children choosing their parents and lessons of unconditional love to be learned:
"Agreements were made prior to incarnation; the first, with the so-called parents and siblings of this entity. This provided the experiential catalyst for the situation of offering radiance of being without expectation of return."
As Ra says here, there is one highly developed portion of the self/infant which may be understood by studying the Significator:
"The mind/body/spirit complex which is an infant has one highly developed portion which may be best studied by viewing the Significators of Mind and Body."
And it is at about fifteen months, that Ra says that the child becomes conscious:
"An entity incarnating upon the Earth plane becomes conscious of self at a varying point in its time/space progress through the continuum. This may have a median, shall we say, of approximately fifteen of your months. Some entities become conscious of self at a period closer to incarnation, some at a period farther from this event."
If the entity is conscious enough, it programs which parents it will have, what lessons it wants to learn etc. In some instances, as we have read in newspapers etc., it is the child who takes care of its parents at very early age, and not the other way around (for instances when parents are junkies or have other problems, and can't take care of themselves or younger siblings, the child then acts as adult). Carla for instance, has also spoken about this, how she spent her childhood by selflessly taking care of her family, instead of enjoying being a child.
