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"
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
