What should we do when we are scared of change? Watch the video ^
This 6 year old boy gives weirdly amazing advice. It's so simple yet true. We need to give children more credit. Sometimes they have a skill that others don't...they tend to not over-think things. They are usually literal and to the point; they have time to notice beauty in the little things. When they feel something, they feel it, and they will certainly let you know. You know how humans eventually grow a verbal filter? Well..kids are lucky for lacking that quality.
"Yeah, if like something feels like you're closing....you should just say okay, I'm fine! I usually let it go..I usually think of something that I really like to do..and you just think of something else, until the nervous has gone out of you..let that thing disappear out of my head..out of my ears...out of my mouth..I'm scared of this thing, when the scared thing comes into you, the scared is scared of things you like..so um, I was scared of a monster, and I thought of pizza and juice, and a cookie. and then I ate it all up with some milk"
He pretty much said it all.

ReplyDeleteDana, I told some of my students that I'm directing in the Sound of Music cast that I apparently have a cyber-bully that visits your blog. I explained to them what Mr./Ms. Anonymous wrote this time and last and they all laughed. Haha.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think you make a good point. I think that children are some of the most purest of heart as well and don't have to learn how to "act" in the norms of society to be considered "cool" or "appropriate." Not saying that children don't need guidance, because they do, but they just seem to be more in touch of what is real and what is pure in heart.
