editor’s note: i resonate fully with this piece. i have noticed with my own daughter when she is ready to learn AND when she has an incentive, she grasps quickly. anything forced does not work. she may pretend to pay attention, but she isn’t retaining anything. and that is the disastrous result for most children who are “trained” in the public educational system. they force feed children facts and tidbits of information not concerned if they retain the information. children learn through hands on playing. children learn when they are given the freedom to figure out what they wish to learn and when. another program to unplug from ~ the public education model.

Why You Should Forget School and Let Kids Play
By Joe Jarvis – August 22, 2018
Seriously, it took the American Academy of Pediatrics to let us know that?
Better yet, the doctors now recommend that parents even get involved in playing with their children, especially before they turn two.
“This may seem old-fashioned, but there are skills to be learned when kids aren’t told what to do,” said Dr. Michael Yogman, a Harvard Medical School pediatrician who led the drafting of the call to arms. Whether it’s rough-and-tumble physical play, outdoor play or social or pretend play, kids derive important lessons from the chance to make things up as they go, he said.
It is great that they are getting this right, but it really shouldn’t take an Academy of doctors to know this. It should be pretty intuitive. Kids automatically run around, play, and make up games when left alone. So I suppose the only surprising part to some people should be that sometimes, you should leave your kid alone.
In The Future of the Mind, Michio Kaku says that the main function of the brain is running simulations of possible outcomes. That is what makes humans intelligent. We have the ability to forecast what might happen if we take certain actions.
So it only makes sense that play is integral for learning and exercising this mental process.
Some kids play “house” and act out what they think it means to be a family, a mother, and a father. Other kids wrestle and learn the consequences of slamming their heads into the wall, versus the couch, versus the window.
The recommendation from the AAP hardly scratches the surface of just how important it is for kids to play.
Indeed, new research demonstrates why playing with blocks might have been time better spent, Yogman said. The trial assessed the effectiveness of an early mathematics intervention aimed at preschoolers. The results showed almost no gains in math achievement.
I remember typing classes starting in fifth grade. The typing lessons escalated in sixth grade. You know when I finally became proficient in typing? in seventh grade when I needed to type in order to communicate with my friends on AOL Instant Messenger (my screen name started as CheeseMonkey3q3 and later changed to TheNameIsBond3. Cool, right?).
I didn’t read much until I found a book that I enjoyed reading, Harry Potter.
It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I found the “incentive” to learn how many grams are in an ounce…
These are just small examples. But the point is that people learn things when they have an incentive to learn them.
Do you really think a kid is going to neglect to learn how to do math when it comes time to make sure he and his siblings all got the same number of gifts on Christmas? Or the same portion of pizza?
It is just a matter of allowing kids to learn what they want to learn. If children reclaimed all the hours wasted at school, they would have plenty of time to learn the true necessities. Especially when there is an incentive to learn. Something pressing they want to do or achieve.
And learning the same skill takes a fraction of the time when it is not a purely theoretical lesson. Learning math on paper is not efficient. It doesn’t apply to the real world, however hard educators try to make the problems seem real.
But when those same “failures” go to the gym, you can bet they know the proper ratio of carbs to protein. I bet they know how many calories they need, and how to calculate their body mass index and body fat percentage.
So it is great to hear the Academy of Pediatrics coming out with the right idea. But they need to take it leaps and bounds further. It isn’t enough to say schools should keep 15 minutes of recess.
I’d rather them say, let that 14-year-old work on his dirtbike all day if that’s what he likes doing. Let the 9-year-old bookworm read. Let the kids build tree forts, shoot water guns, and cook dinner.
editor’s note: i found this video linked via the comment section of lisa harrison’s latest where i found a very fascinating conversation taking place about transitioning out of this realm as well as the mirror/dome effect. i have read and heard this past year new earth is above this realm. so some of what i am reading makes sense to this theory ~ while also aligning to the experience i had last september with the buzzing in the base of my spine which traveled up my back, neck and out the top of my head followed by the sensation of being lifted up. instincts caused me to brace myself against the table. it was then i heard “this is how it happens.” listening to the video now.
editor’s note: i knew a few weeks ago comedy central was going to do this piece and were inviting jordan to speak of qanon. i felt off about it and even though i thought maybe this would give the movement some coverage, i knew jordan and the others would be walking right into the lion’s den and comedy central would spin this to make them all look pathetic. so uh this was painful to watch. i wonder if the 4 of them got straight on what they would be speaking of – it didn’t seem like they had such a discussion. that would have been helpful. the guy speaking of jfk jr being Q – that was, imho, way too premature to bring up. yes many feel he is alive and part of the plan but to come right out and state that when the general public knows little to nothing about q was, imho, well not the best choice. and to bring up flat earth…..then to have jordan challenge that….
what comedy central did was add in pan laughter after each comment from the panel….then took soundbites of the most fringe comments….add in their own brand of sarcasm and well, this is the result. not surprised. oh well…..if just one person watches this with a truly open mind and is naturally curious, well…that is my hope…
I’m in the ER bc I lost two fingers today in a surfing accident. It could’ve been much worse so I’m trying my best to stay positive. My faith sure is being tested. Prayers appreciated.
editor’s note: a few times, when i have allowed another’s judgment towards me place doubt within, i have wondered ~ am i a bot? am i without a soul? the question has had fear energy attached. i let that go, feel within and know the answer.
i am seeing more of programs being challenged causing some to become very confrontational and downright abusive. the piece i shared last night – the gist of it all (late night share) received overwhelming support. there were a couple of exceptions, including one that surprised me. the name calling and outright statements of how utterly wrong i am. very defensive. i obviously challenged this person’s entire story of the ascension timeline.
as i continue to know – and state – honor one another’s path. attacks show one is not as awakened/aware or heart-centered as they claim ~ especially when the attacks do not result in one owning the behavior and offering up an apology. love allows the free choices of others.
be kind and allowing. take no shit. [wp-svg-icons icon=”heart-2″ wrap=”i”]
some good thoughts on the victim too. gives me something new to ponder…
I’m not sure if that is the “best” title for that, but… there it is.
I’m personally continuing to recognize what I need to release (on 3D, 4D, 5D, 539.8D, etc., levels), and I’m gathering those things up and releasing them. I’ve got another batch of “things” in my car right now to take to the Ohana Thrift store (or I might be guided to someone who might want them). Part of doing this also has to do with Energetically releasing components of my former self that I need to release to rise up in vibration to my Next Higher Self (and I just made up that last phrase there).
Many of my own personal releases are what some might call “Massive”. I mean there’s lots of music equipment, cables, mixers, etc., amplifier, and lots of thisngs that used to be “primary” in my life, but which are no longer “primary” at all. They’ve been sitting around for several years. They are “asking” to move on. And so they are.
Also at this time I’m releasing any attachments to a) my current living place, b) my current living style, c) my current living island, d) my current living everything. All of these are “up for release”. And I’m feeling more and more “free” by doing this (no matter what might end up happening).
No matter what the situation these days, no matter where it is popping up, it seems many are realizing that is is time to release those things that no longer serve the “rising in vibration” new Self. #WalkAway is an example. There are many others.
No matter one’s outer view about “Trump” and this current administration, it has brought an amazing, and “massive” awakening, rising up, and brought up seeming conflicts that perhaps have been hidden for many years. Now they are exposed, and many many many energetic releases are occurring. Absolutely.
All I can say here is that all of this is going to keep on keeping on, until all that this planet needs to release is released. And all that needs “Massive Transformation” is transformed.
The Cosmics (Energies, that is) are supporting this (likely, causing this), and basically, as I view it, we have no choice. Rise up with those Cosmics, and allow these “Massive Energetic Releases and Transformations” to BE a part of our own BEingnesses.
