My 2 oldest boys asked to attend public school this year. I am still begging them daily to come back home for school. They are really enjoying the social aspects public school provides. I do believe that our current public school system is failing our children in a multitude of ways….aside from the creativity bit.
Our children enter our world with the hopes of opening themselves up to the world around them and being who they are MEANT to be while they are here. When our births are traumatic or abusive in anyway, we lessen the ability for our children to truly open themselves to their full potential.
They come into the world curious and eager to learn and grow in a healthy, balanced environment. One where they are NOT told who they are or even what we, as their parents, expect of them. Its time for us, as parents, to HEAR the words of our children and really LISTEN to what they want for THEMSELVES. They know their own path and they know how to fulfill it. We need to step out of their way and just hold a space of LOVE and DEVOTION for them as they learn and grow the way THEY know how.
I apology for my lack of new posting on Friday and again on Monday. I had an AMAZING weekend! Chris and I stayed the weekend in Salt Lake City celebrating our 17th anniversary. The first day we got married, I thought I couldn’t LOVE him more. But I do! More than I EVER thought possible.
Opening my heart to the WORLD and learning more about how I can be the BEST me has been my goal for the last several years. I’m grateful for the videos like above that open my own eyes as to how I might be stifling I’m own creativity and growth for new information and for new connections.
In Peace,
Rachel
