Teach to Resist

"When we stop to 'read between the lines' of our children's behavior, we hear their hearts, their hurts, their confusion, their frustration, their needs. Then w...e can connect with our little humans to guide and help and heal them instead of simply correcting their actions. Remember, an area of ‘discipline’ in academia is an area of learning, and the root word in ‘discipline’ is disciple, which means student in the noun form and to teach in the verb form. Focusing on teaching our little learners is far more effective in growing good humans than exacting retribution from them as they learn."

We need to tend to our own pain so that we can be there for others. We need to resist the narrative that we need to be happy.

Little humans will someday be big humans who need to think for themselves. Training them to respond to authority with blind obedience is dangerous. Unchecked au...thority inevitably leads to abuse of power, oppression, corruption, and, ultimately, tyranny. Our world doesn't need more mindless followers. Our world needs more truth seekers, status quo questioners, bridge builders, and change makers. So let's raise a generation of independent, compassionate thinkers. The future will thank us for it. -L.R.Knost #raisingworldchangers Raising Humans Kind: http://t.co/T8goym3P6Z Please respect the work of authors, photographers, and artists.
