As we Celebrate the Learnings from Wonderful Souls - Children....We reflect on being Non-Judgemental...


There are so many profound aspects that we realize are so crucial in the way we live our lives...The sad part is - most of them are never part or never inculcated in schooling....
If they become as important as our subjects taught in school - then all of us would have a far more fulfilling life and enjoy the spirit of life...

The Things We Steal From Children by Dr.John Edwards

Here is something so very close to all the things that I have learned from Ratnesh and during TTT & from everyone at Amable who have helped me to be here in this profound journey with children.... A poem by John Edwards and his wife Sandra Russell about "The Things We Steal From Children" - very powerful Enjoy reading these beautiful lines- That will surely leave you thinking & reflecting :) If I am always the one to think of where to go next. If where we go is always the decision of the curriculum or my curiosity and not theirs, If motivation is mine, If I always decide on the topic to be studied, the title of the story, the problem to be worked on, If I am always the one who has reviewed their work and decided what they need, How will they ever know how to begin?

Reflections....

As I reflect back on to the graph of my life from about an year and half  in working with ‘Children’ and being involved in everything related to children – some of the things that I have been experiencing is - Pure joy, the real meaning of loving what you are doing, the challenges, the thrill to do more, the kind of work, variety, getting soaked in something you are passionate about, learning and relishing every bit of being around with “Children – They are the most genuine ones you can ever find”  During this phase of connecting and working with children here I share some of the things that inspire me about them - they have no expectations, they give you endless rewards, they might treat you like you are there worst enemy ever, next moment you see them totally in sync with you, no hard feelings, open to learning, never ending energy, you think you have the best idea for a session with them and they can just show you that it’s the most dumb one you created :)…you think ...

Troubles that trouble them...

                   Troubles that trouble them and dealing with them There are times when my niece or any child I work with come & share something that's troubling them ...I have done and keep doing at times unconsciously – is to rush to give solutions & advice to the trouble or problem or situation...  In one of the sessions – I had a spontaneous filler to go with the flow – We discuss problems & try and find solutions – more like a circle time but an informal yet important conversation…. It was amazing take a back seat and let the child take the lead in figuring out the solutions for their troubles…. Kids shared their problems from getting troubled in the van, not having friends, sibling troubles and so on & there were actually many troubles than I anticipated… Initially the solutions that came from the group were like hit them, change school you will get new friends, tell your mamma etc. But ...
