OUR KIDS ARE MAD !!!
(WHY – What is it?)
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
“IT” is: Their Expectations!!!
(Expectations are a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future)
Their EXPECTATIONS have not been met.
- Our children don’t feel safe,
- They don’t feel any stability,
- Their well-being is all but non-existent. (being comfortable, healthy, and happy), and
- They know they are NOT getting a quality education.
They are not COMFORTABLE: They are teetering “over the edge” –
And they are afraid of heights !!!
MISSING THE NATURAL PROCESS OF:
- “THE WOMB” – children want to feel that safety, stability, and well-being
(No matter what’s going on in the world outside the womb – the womb is a safe place)
- “SWADDLING” – protection from their natural startle reflex
- “BREAST-FEEDING” – nutrition (food necessary for health and growth)
- “MERCUROCHROME” – topical antiseptic for cuts and scrapes (to heal the cuts and bruises)
- “TRUST” – They would never do a “trust fall.”
FEAR FACTORS OF DOING A “Trust fall!”
- Parents would look away at the last minute
- Friends would stand by and laugh
- Schools would be observing
- Family would be running to help, but they would never make it
THEY ARE NOT HEALTHY: PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY
- They gorge themselves on Takis and Hot Cheetos
- Most of the “free lunch” fruit and veggies end up in the trash
- A great percentage of them are overweight
- They are the children of a worldwide pandemic
- Their neighborhoods are a war zone
- They feel no Love – anywhere
THEY ARE NOT HAPPY
They are scared, horrified, and terrified (like not being able to scream in a scary dream).
Except they are not dreaming – and still, no one hears or understands them !!!
“THAT” is Trauma !!!
WE NEED TO HELP THEM!!!
WE NEED TO MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS!!!
WE NEED TO SHOW THEM REAL LOVE !!!
