Hi Sherry and all,
Yes I agree with this post, I think one must water the child as in a
plant, water it with love and allow it to unfold. A child being close to
helping spirits and other dimensions would perhaps also be getting good
guidance from them. Parents with an awareness of spirit would perhaps bring
more balanced and mature children.
As I was reading these posts on children and upbringing my thoughts
turned to Ananda Community in Grass Valley, Ca. In their community of 1000
or so people they have a school that incorporates yoga and meditation in
their curriculum. Art is also stressed. It's students go onto study at
places such as U.C. Santa Cruz, Ca, I love Santa Cruz. I think it would be
an interesting case study to compare children froom a meditation/yoga
wholistic type school to a regular urban school. Compare childrens
emotional maturity, etc...
Have a nice day...
Love,
Raja
