Are you the same person who woke up that morning?
Have you seen anything, met anyone, learned anything, had some "a-ha!"?
Or are you pretty much the same as this morning, same as yesterday, same as last year or 10 years ago?
Your child is not.
Your child is learning and growing at a staggering rate.
Modern schooling systems are (intentionally or unintentionally) retarding your child's growth in many dimensions. True, the social and emotional intelligences are developing, but the bulk of your child's true potential is slipping away moment by moment as they waste away in schooling facilities around the country.
Perhaps in emerging nations this type of wrote memorization system works. Not for the future 21st Century Knowledge Worker.
We used to work with our food and sustenance directly. We farmed and herded.
In the 21st Century, your child is 99.9% likely to work for food and sustenance indirectly. This means that simple reading, writing, 'rithmatic ain't cuttin it. Not to mention the archaic model of transferring this knowledge to the children.
Can you imagine if, at your age, you continued to grow and learn and stay present with your experience - full of wonder and awe - as though still a child?
Matthew 18:3 Verily I say unto you, Except ye become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Seems simple enough...
Zen, really.
Stay in the flow of the moment and you'll never walk through the same river twice.
Who said that?
Heraclitus?
Cheers,
