Why Everyone Can Master Their Education...

24/1/2018

0 Comments

 
An inspiring talk by Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, discussing why we end up with limiting beliefs about certain subjects or areas of learning and how the current education system is contributing to this. We need a new approach - focusing on mastering concepts instead of just moving along to fit into a time-based curriculum.

It is definitely time to question the way that we are educating our kids and to find new solutions that fit with our natural ability to learn anything.

In The Best Interests Of The Child...

7/12/2017

Should the South African government be allowed to jail homeschooling parents?
In South Africa, our Constitution allows for the best interests of the child to be taken as the highest priority in all situations concerning a child. This means that if the parents of the child are not acting in the child’s best interests that the courts may make decisions for that child that override those of the parents.
 
This is a good thing.
 
It means that children who are being physically, sexually or emotionally abused do not have to rely on the judgment of their parents for their wellbeing. Particularly when the parents are the abusers.
 
So how do we interpret this in terms of the new BELA Bill being proposed when this allows for the 6-year incarceration of parents whose sole crime is to homeschool their children? How do we interpret “the best interests of the child” in this situation?

There is no such thing as a "perfect" life - a life without challenge and struggle and a bit of battering along the way.

But it is in your attitude towards your struggles that your life is really made. Be proud of your scars, of your unique journey, and help your kids to find the blessings in their own troubles.

​Every life is beautiful!

In this fascinating talk, Anil Seth discusses his research into consciousness and how what we view as reality is just an agreed upon hallucination.

Aside from the incredible benefits that this research can have in terms of mental illness, it is also a good thing to keep in mind next time you and your kids disagree on whether their rooms are tidy or not ;-)

By Chantel Quick. Originally featured on Earth Based Mom, and reproduced here with permission from the author.

This is, quite honestly, one of the best parenting articles I have ever read. Every time I have posted something about not spanking children I get a barrage of negative responses from people trying to justify the need to spank their kids. If you still believe that this is ok and that your kids are not worse off for being hit, then you definitely need to read this article...

Are We All Experiencing Psychosis?

9/7/2017

0 Comments

 
In this talk, Paul Fletcher explores what psychosis is and how we may all be experiencing this all the time to some degree if we look at how we perceive the world. He talks about perception as an active process - not a passive reception of information. He also looks at how our prior experience affects how we perceive the world. And how perception itself is a controlled hallucination. I go into a lot of these same ideas in my Personal Breakthrough experience, helping people to shift their world by changing their prior beliefs about it.
