LEARNING A CHILD

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." anon



There is that standard of harshness that finds the deepest satisfaction in crushing children's spirits. It lives in the administrators of many school and church systems, and coarseness, rigidity, and coldness is a prerequisite for their positions. Parents have seen this for decades, and now long past the reverence once held for doctors and educators parents themselves educated, and thoughtful are faced with their children's ability to force change into their lives. Not dark administrators. Change and fluidity are abhorrent elements to them, and at any chance given they will crush a child who dreams and has powers.What do you do about this? What do we do about this?

I suggest we find our collective and individual voices, develop them, and learn to listen to the high frequency vibrations young people have to understand what children need in their lifetime for starters!- Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories August 21, 2012
