Through Greta’s Eyes - Like many mums, Greta‘s mum is always on her phone. One Saturday Greta says, “Mum you are missing out,” and takes her out for a walk without her phone. Mum gets to see the world differently. She smells beautiful lavender that is growing in the neighbour’s garden, she hears magpies talking to each other and she sees colours as if she had just been given new sight.
The Kindness Community has a kindness expert visit. Our current world is full of influencers (some are great) and experts (some self appointed). This expert isn’t actually kind. He just talks about kindness. He learns more than he brings to the kindness community prompting discussions about walking the walk, and authentically living. Meanwhile the princesses are quietly strong, and consistent, intentional leaders who carry on their authentic style of leadership.
In What is MY Skill - Dang didn’t quite fit in with his community. He joins the circus and by finding a skill that makes him proud and happy, he can live more peacefully and have a sense of authenticity about his life. He feels more like he fits in. Everyone should be given opportunities to achieve and excel and be proud of themselves. Everyone has their place in the world. Young people need role models.
The Crocheting Scientist can't draw his sustainable building designs on his whiteboard until he crochets them. He takes his needles and wool to the office. Adults might reflect with their young readers on the wonderful world of multiple intelligence's, the different ways in which individuals learn and problem solve, our individual Ikigai(s), the things that get us excited about life and the activities that give us comfort.
