PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Education Today
- Focuses on mental skills
- Exploring outer world
- Prepares for profession
- Prepares for making money
But Who Prepares Children for LIVING LIFE?
Children should also learn about their sacredness, fear-based vs. love-based living, removing self-limiting beliefs and living with mindfulness
Such Life Skills prepare them for living with grace and ease
Without this knowledge children suffer in many ways
The effects are already obvious....
Rising ADHD in Kids
- 14% of all boys, ages 3 - 17
- 6% of all girls, ages 3 - 17
25.1% of all US teens ages 13 - 18 have one or more forms of anxiety disorder
1 in 4 school kids is bullied on a regular basis in US
91 incidents of gun violence in US schools alone since 2012
Nearly 10% of kids are addicted to video games
Drugs, suicide, teen pregnancy
Even if kids escape ADD, bullying, anxiety,violence etc. they are unable to deal with ups and downs and make sense of life...
And feel lost without a sense of connection and belonging
Wondering how to deal with ups and downs:
failure, loss, rejection, disrespect of boundaries
Wounded Child's World View:
- World is not a safe place
- It's a dog-eat-dog world
- If you don't win you are a loser
- Is this all that life can be???
Disconnected children
grow into disconnected adults, creating a disconnected world
Can't we do better for our planet?
Soul Science Can Help Children Connect With Their True Nature
