Speaking of Children

The same teacher that is trying to label

5 year old

also said:

"He makes odd eye movements"

PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, EVERYONE WHO IS AN ADULT:

STAND UP FOR OUR CHILDREN;

THEY ARE BUT CHILDREN,

PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN, THEY ARE JUST LEARNING

TEACH THEM, PLAY WITH THEM,

THANK THE CREATOR

FOR THEM and FOR YOU .

VALUE THEM

TREASURE THEM AND THEIR CREATIVITY

THEIR "WACKINESS" AND WONDER

STOMP

Imagine what THAT school or THAT teacher

 would think

of Godson Kamryn in this picture above!

Good and beautiful fall morning dear sky, my you are still dark up there!

Coffee is just yummy, 4 leggeds up and ready for a party.

ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM

around the pool in the dark,

it's NASCAR... from my limited vision they are awfully close to the edge of that there pool I'm thinking ~

Now back to the children:

I must tell you if this young and inexperienced teacher of doing assessments on children around here had said some of the things about Kamryn that have been said about a 5 year old,

I would have used my own wings just to go up to Virginia

and slap her silly, then might just have to

sit her down and have a long talk!

YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THE GODMOTHERS CHILDREN

YOU DO NOT MESS WITH CHILDREN.

How's that for professional etiquette?

I mean really now; let's let a 5 year old enjoy, create, blow bubbles, and even make some funny faces as they adjust to the world of going to school.

I mean after all it's going to be a long 18 years of schooling right?

Can you guess which one got kicked out of Kindergarden?

Looks like a regular/cute little kids to me

with beautiful normal eyes to me~

STAND UP, FIGHT FOR YOUR CHILDREN

They are perfect in the Creators eyes

NOW

here is the best part of that lousy assessment

that was done:

At the bottom there were two remarkable opportunities for a skilled and professional person to really get to the most valuable and useful information that would actually be helpful and informative not to mention make the parents feel rather safe in knowing their child is in good hands:

`1. What is the most concerning to you about this child?

LEFT BLANK BY THE TEACHER

2. Please describe the BEST THINGS ABOUT THIS CHILD

LEFT BLANK BY THIS TEACHER

Talk about "missed opportunities" on so many levels.

This is where this person could have made a wonderful and telling assessment as well as made parents feel as though there was genuine empathetic caring and desire to make Ari's first experience with education one of fun, desire to learn...

It

"should of been"

"could have been"

"a meeting with one or two people and the parents; one of mutual respect with the focus being on ways to best teach a child, to lean about a child, to determine if there were concerns or areas that need work ...

Great!

BUT

as we can see from the "missed opportunities" as well as the comments of yesterday,

there are those on this page of Warriors who have had similar experiences

those who can remember "back in the day"

of those feelings easily brought into the now

of how they were made to feel by labels

by those in charge.

It is becoming far too easy for others to tell us we have "a problem", to prescribe medications for our children that are suppose to calm them, give them focus, allow them to cope. Hell they haven't had the time to even know what focus is yet and we are altering their brain chemistry with medications... and then we wonder why suicide is so very high in teens? Why are kids going bonkers and carrying guns to school; why are gangs prevalent, why do kids not feel loved, and think they have problems?

BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD THEM THEY DID THAT IS WHY, and they are not sophisticated enough, bright enough, old enough to believe in their own power and strength yet.

We have strong working parents who love and want the very best for their kids and "trust" the schools and those who work in them. Then they get "blindsided" and lose their faith in "self" and are told their kids have "a problem", and they are scared to death...

And they react with worry and fear.

They forget... that they are their child's' foundation of security, children are keen to feel the energy at home, the fears, the fright brought on by some insane person who feels "powerful" and then

all hell breaks loose.

PARENTS: Breathe... trust your gut.

"Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them." — Dr. Seuss (and me)

The Children are our future

we each walk with our child, pray and hope for our children; have a child within us,

some have come out to play only recently

others we have to quiet sometimes

and let the "adult" walk around in these days most days!

Other of us

we like to be the child, revel in it always!

Maybe shouldn't wear this to class,

might get thought of as odd to be sure!

Can you just imagine the assessment,

but Kamryn is a SUPER HERO YOU KNOW~

While others who visit here, remember the children

with painful loveliness

the precious children

all

gone too soon

"The LIttle One"

(in Healing Heartaches)

BUT

only a heart beat away, living within us always

where the light may have gone out or seemed to with their all too soon death, those precious children,

but with hard work, restored vision

faith and belief

The Light burns brightly always

and those precious children trust

that we will remember

we will

STOMP

and say their names

keeping their memories and lives alive with each

breath

each time we say their name and remember

that although they were here for a short time

We were BLESSED by the gift of the children.

STAND UP

Take a stand

Let the Kamryn's, the D'Vante's, Olivia's, Duke's, Pony Dancers, Guitar Strummers, Bubble Blowers, and Train Engineers and all the others be children, play, learn, as we teach them right from wrong:

"You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room." Dr Seuss

Learn, Laugh, be creative, stomp in puddles, squeal delight in each magical thing, strum guitars with chairs, blow bubbles with their mouths when there are no readily available bottles of bubbles...

I mean after all we are talking about kindergarten here, not rocket science, not brain surgery, not just yet anyway ...

Let's start our children out in school by teaching them that they are each unique, teach them to look closely at their fingerprints, have them make their fingerprints on paper with paint and compare them with each other!

Let's tell them how very special they are,teach them the "golden rule"

Learn from them; what they day-dream about and incorporate it into learning ways and fun exploration.

Want labels? Check the inside back collar of their shirts, or their back packs or their tennis shoes...

Label them Precious, Precocious, Plentiful, Beautiful, Trickster, Funny, Cute, Full of themselves.

Teach with intention

Teach with pride

Teach them to believe in self

and in the goodness around them

Foster friendship

STRENGTH

INDEPENDENCE WITH KINDNESS

I've been known to blow bubbles with my mouth and ... well let's just leave it at that,

but

I've also been known to spit

over the side of a boat before, because I could!

Let no one ever ever take away your personal power,

you own the way you feel, so how do you want to feel today?

"CLICK"

Change your focus, change your state... just like that!

"In my world, everyone's a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!" — Dr. Seuss

Sure hope this child learns and remembers and has the courage to say that for school!

So

what's new with you beloved readers?

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing,

give it your all,

buy some bubbles at the dollar store and

BLOW, WATCH 

be amazed at the power of

YOU

The fire is burning brightly with hope and thoughts on the wind to all mentioned here in prayers, all thought of daily, and all who enter here.

Blessings and fondly I ask that you remember...

Walk In Beauty,

DRSES

That is the HOPE in Healing Heartaches
