Dumbing down our children–Day 405

 
Between the 23rd of July to the 3rd of August there were 2 articles published on the Daily mail. 
The one article showing how the Smartphones generation is dumbing down the children and within that the important of Vocabulary and Language and the second article about why teaching children how to spell is no longer require in an area where the smartphone auto-correct the user's spelling.
 
Here is the reference:
 
  1. iPad generation 'will learn fewer words' as oral tradition of passing on knowledge is dying out
 
"Text messages, emails and using computers to learn could be stunting children’s vocabulary, experts fear.
 
That is because our brains are hardwired to learn new words when we hear others use them in everyday conversation.
 
But learning with smartphones, tablets and computers, instead of listening to a teacher or parent, means young people are not being given the chance to hear a wide range of words, experts say…"
 
"…Dr Catani’s research suggests that children who learn from on-screen images, rather than listening to conversation, will also find it harder to take in vocabulary"
 
 
  1. Stop teaching children how to spell because smartphones can do it for them, says academic in attack on traditional teaching
 
"…Spelling lessons should be scrapped because children can correct mistakes on their mobile phone or computer, a university professor has claimed.
 
Professor Mitra said in an interview with the Times that emphasising spelling and grammar in the classroom is: 'a bit unnecessary because they are skills that were very essential maybe 100 years ago but they are not right now…"
 
 
The children are the products of what we as society accept and allow and we as a society are directly responsible for the dumbing down of our children. Here understand, there are multiple dimensions involves for instance, you cannot expect a parent to not stand in alignment to the society accepted codes as that would affect their children's social status and we all know how mean children can be to one another. That means that if in a class of 30 kids for instance, a parent put their foot down and would not buy their child the I-pad that everyone else have, the child would feel lacking in comparison to their peers and in many cases, the majority would take down the kid that is lacking and that would cause psychological issues that would influence the child for their entire life on a subconscious level.
 
So we as a society, have embarrassed the I-pad as unconditional part of our lives as if we cannot even consider a life without it. Despite of the understanding that these gadgets are not effective nor supportive for the development of a child personal character, we give it to our children and further perpetuate the dumbing down process of our children.
 
We as individual parents cannot do anything about it because the I-pad/smartphones epidemic has already went to a point of no return. We hope, pray and trust  that the educational system would compensate for our ineffective parenting skills, though as the result shows, the educational system is deliberately designed to dumbing down the children.
 
The parents believe that they are powerless and thus convinced themselves that the education system is trustworthy because someone who is qualified had said so. We trust the words of our corrupted Politicians more than we trust ourselves and because of that, we cannot even consider for one moment that if we want to see a change, we must become the change.
 
It has been no secret that we are having an educational crisis all over the world; It has been no secret that the educational system dumbing down our children. If I may ask - Doesn't that makes us, parents, even dumber if we know that there is a problem, we know the problem manifests consequences on the behalf of our children and we know that we must become more involved and take our responsibility in making sure that our children would become the utmost effective human being that can be? and yet, we do nothing to correct the problem.
 
So parents - are we going to wait or are we going to be what our children expect and need us to be?
 
More to come…

Study finds children would not think of overweight person as a potential friend - Day 369

This in another blog within the blog series where I investigate the question: Who is Responsible for our Children's Education?.

 

In todays Daily Mail article - How we start being 'fattist' at four: Study finds children would not think of overweight person as a potential friend  one can find absolutely fascinating study that clearly show that the parents and our society as a whole are simply ineffective trainers for the children in this world. The study shows how ineffective parenting leads to prejudice behaviour of a child already at age 4 and all of that is happening through the example of the parents, their opinions and beliefs (Value system) and/or the TV/Media influences that without parental input, one simply do not know what the child would accept as their value system and whether the value stands in alignment to what is best for the child and humanity as a whole:

 

Here some pointers from the article:

 

"..A study of 126 boys and girls who had just started school showed they were loath to think of an overweight story book character as a potential friend…

 

…The Leeds University researchers said it seems that even very young children have picked up on the prejudice against fat people that pervades society…

 

...Only one of the 43 children read the fat Alfie version of the book chose him as a potential pal..

 

...The results of the study, the first to show that children of such a young age stigmatise those who are fat, were presented at European Congress on Obesity in Liverpool...

 

...He said that with parents of obese children saying their youngsters are already socially isolated at the age of five, such views could underpin weight-related bullying and victimisation...

 

...The professor said that he believes the youngsters are picking up on a prejudice towards obesity that is all around them, from the opinions of their parents to TV shows which ‘ridicule’ the fat...

 

...He added: ‘I think we have an underlying social commentary about weight and morals and that the morality of people is based on their shape...

 

...‘I think that is very powerful and kids are sensitive to it.’...

 

...Professor John Wilding, of the UK Association for the study of Obesity, said: ‘I think it matters because we know that the social stigma associated with weight problems is quite significant...

 

...‘It is reflected in reduced employment opportunities and all sorts of other aspects of life...

 

...‘If these stereotypes are starting in childhood, it is going to be very hard to reverse them...

 

...‘I guess we need to think about how to change that in society.’"

 

It is fascinating that the conclusion is:  "I guess we need to think about how to change that in society" instead of a definite statement indicting: "Till here no further - we must change ourselves by investigating our value system so that we can stand up, correct ourselves and change our contaminated behaviour and thus, stand as an example for our children of what does it really mean to live in integrity and respect towards oneself and each other.
 

The even bigger problem is that no one wants to admit that we, as parents, are brainwashing our children to be the image and likeness of ourselves. I mean, let's do the math - can you honestly state that throughout your day, you have no Thoughts, Reactions and Emotions towards others? Was there a day in your life that you didn't judge, spite or gossiped about another human being? (and here, it does not matter if it was verbally or only in your mind) Is there absolute respect towards ALL human beings in this world within yourself to the extent that every decision that you make is what best for all?

IF you are honest about these questions, it would be fair enough to assume that as of yet, you are not standing as an absolute and perfect example for your children and all of these inner conflicts that you have within yourself, you are passing to your children and they will pass it through to their children. (The sin of the fathers)

 

We train the kids to either become obese by telling them they must finish everything from their plate (please read Finish Everything on your Plate! - Day 355) and we train the children to not like fat people.

 

In the article it was mentioned that obese people are having hard time to find a job and now that we understand that prejudice behaviour starts already in early childhood, there is no wonder since once one that is obese is being interviewed for a job, the interviewer has most likely prejudice opinions about the shape of the interviewee body and as we all know, the judgement and opinions that we form about another is happening in the first 10 Seconds or less. By all means, the quality, integrity and experience of the interviewee is not coming to play when the 'wrong' judgement is being placed upon the interviewee by the brainwashed interviewer.

 

In essence, the article emphasize the consequences of incorrect use of the Natural Learning Ability. When the child learns bad habits such as being prejudice already at age 4, it implies that the parents didn't make sure that the information that the child stored within oneself contains the actual and real meaning of the word/vocabulary/expression. If we teach our children that it is valid to be prejudice from a early age, how can we not see that instead of evolving we are devolving and how can we not see it was always our responsibility and our direct participation in how and who we have become? How can we not see that we pass our sins to our children?

 

What is important to understand form this article is that the problem is much more severe than being prejudice at age 4 - the problem is that we have no awareness as to what we teach our children, we have no awareness as to what our children are picking up from our expression, behaviour and words.

We have never actually investigated our opinions, beliefs, ideas, perceptions that we have created as our value system upon which we live as and the even bigger problem here is that we pass it generation after generation without seeing, realizing and understanding that we pass on invalid value systems through which we created our world and thus, it is no wonder that there is so much hate, suffering and abuse in this world because we have never made sure that our children would become the best that they can be as we have limited them to what and who we are and let's face it - who we are isn't the best for all example as of yet.

 

So it is time to takes things into our hands and start investigating our belief system before it is too late; we must stop the cycle of ineffective production of human beings and instead, become the being that we can be, a being that moves, direct and walk according to that which is best for all. Only then we can ensure that what we show, teach and educate our children would bring the results of a world where we can trust each other, support and cared for each other, a world where we respect ourselves and each other - a world that is best for all living beings. It is up to us, it always has been so would we wait till we reach to a point of no return or would we take responsibility and correct ourselves and change?

Does your child really have a behaviour disorder? (Part 1) - Day 363

(Stock image) James Davies believes that doctors are too quick to diagnose children with disorders such as ADHDContinuing with the Question Who is Responsible for our Children's Education?

 

Below is an article that was published on the Dailymail.co.uk about the relationship between the growth of Psychiatric prescriptions and the pharmaceutical industry. From my perspective, all parent MUST read this article before even considering that there might be something wrong with the child because the evidence shows that there is nothing wrong with the child but rather, the lack of understanding which cause one to make uninformative decisions that would affect the child's life.

A shocking book by a leading therapist reveals how millions of us - including children - are wrongly labelled with psychiatric problems

 

So within this article, one can follow a few time lines of events. Here is an example of one of them:

->Child didn't do well in school

->-> the child started a fight with another kid

->->-> School sends the child to a psychological evaluation

->->->-> doctor prescribe medication according to the DSM manual.

->->->->-> The child takes the drugs because the parents say so.

->->->->->-> The child is now less distracted in school.

 

A parent, is not trained to be a parent and therefore, is easily being manipulated by what we call "professional" consults of a psychologist or psychiatrist. Have you ever even question the reason why is it that for everything in this world one must first acquire a license however, one doesn't need a license or any form of education to become a parent? Interestingly enough, if you trace back the reason why most things in this world requires a from us a license, one would see that behind it all, it is beneficial for the system and it is therefore, making someone very rich. For instance, if you want to build a house, how many licenses and agreement you must first issue before you start placing the first brick? And how much money you must spend to acquire this license? What is also interesting within the structure of the word 'License' or the sound of the word 'License' is: Lie-Sense. The sense of Lie and yet, none of us smell the roses even if the rose was inside our nose, the very same way that all the physical evidence are just in front of us and yet, we do not see the truth of ourselves, our acceptances and allowances.

But anyway, it is also very profitable for the parents to not be trained to be a parent because apparently, the less the parent understand the responsibility involved with being a parent, the more easy it is to influence the parent to spend enormous sum of money for the child well being because if there anything the parent does know is that the parent isn't enough for the child and therefore, must invest the necessary funds to make sure that the child will receive the best care possible. And that is exactly why we were not trained to be a parent because if we knew how to be parents, we wouldn't be so easily fooled by the system that is based on greed, power and control.

Here is one very good example of the relationship between forced ignorance of the parent and the well being of the child that is becoming more and more Unwell being of a child.

 

By now, we all know that the pharmaceutical industry doesn't carry benevolent and genuine care for humanity but quite to the contrary, it is based on principles of Greed wherein, everything is allowed and in that, harm is allowed as long as more money comes in. Many of us have already realize that one cannot trust the pharmaceutical industry as it is one of the most corrupted industries existing on earth and yet, we all keep supporting the industry despite of us knowing it is not trustworthy. Why is it? how is it that even though we can add 1+1 and calculate it as 2, we still stand in awe for what the 'professional' are telling us, the same professionals that are being paid directly and indirectly by the pharmaceutical companies, to medicate our children despite of the absence of any biological evidence that the child require the medication.


More will be discussed and shared in the next blog.

The Botox Epidemic - Day 362

 

 

clip_image001

Continuing with the Question Who is Responsible for our Children's Education?

 

"For many of the injections use a drug made from the most lethal poison known to man"

 

"One of the most deadly poisons known to man has been turned into a radical new treatment that could benefit thousands of stroke victims. Botulinum toxin, or Botox, is so dangerous in high doses that it can kill by paralysing the body's muscles"

 

"A British mother who admitted on American TV that she gave her eight-year-old daughter Botox injections has had the child taken away by social workers.

‘What I am doing for Britney now will help her become a star. I know one day she will be a model, actress or singer, and having these treatments now will ensure she stays looking younger and baby-faced for longer. All I want is for Britney to have the best start in life, so it is easier for her to become a superstar."

 

"Across Britain, the goal among today’s youth-obsessed 20-somethings seems to be age prevention.

In fact, according to a recent Superdrug survey, women become concerned about the effects of ageing at just 29, with their top worries being wrinkles and crow’s feet.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Anne Marie Gillet, of Transform Cosmetic Surgery, says the company has seen a 56 per cent year-on-year increase in inquiries for wrinkle-smoothing treatments among 18 to 25-year-olds."

 

So I am asking - Who is responsible for our children's education? Who is responsible for our children's health?

Why these procedures are even allowed to be done on children without a psychological consult?

It is scary to even think about what our children are exposed to, what they accept as their value system when they watch TV, what ideas they insert into their minds, what desires and beliefs;  all of that is done without any parental input and in many cases, even when parental input it shared, the input isn't what is best for the child to actually accept themselves, trust themselves and grow in self-confidence.

98megryan200_20010705_02498.jpgInstead, we hear about celebrities that have fucked up their body under the knife of plastic doctors who would do anything for money and even though it is absolute disgusting, we would stand in awe and say - "It look so good on her, I want a surgery too/ I must get my child under the knife so that she could have a chance in life to become a superstar" - these strange things do happen and don't think that if that didn't happen to you or with you, that you are not part of the problem because We are all part of this problem. Mother of 8 years old girl that injected Botox to her child is our direct responsibility - because none of us had actually stood up and demand that only that which is best for all will be allowed in this world.

 

So please, when you read about Celebrities that overdue cosmetic procedures or kids between 8-25 having Botox done - do not judge their parents, do not judge the child or the doctors because realize - we have created a world system where such things are accepted and allowed. We have not created a  best for all education that would actually enhance the natural skills of a child to become the best the child can be, we have not establish an education system that support the basic life skills all should have and we have certainly, do not stand as an example for the younger generation.

 

Thus - isn't it the time to stop judging, blaming and complaining about what we see/hear on the news but instead, to start coming with solutions that can actually be part of a global change that is best for all?

If you understand what I'm saying here and would like to stand as an example, as a key for a change that is best for all and thus best for you too, if you understand what care really is - investigate and study the Equal Money System wiki pages, the Equal money blogs and vlogs.

What is care really? Day 340

Continuing with the Question Who is Responsible for our Children's Education?

 

When going through the news headlines and seeing the craziness humanity is suffering from, it is clear that Real Care does not exists in this world. One can blame the world system, the education system, the neighbours, the living conditions, you name it; however, if we look in self honesty, we would see that we were the ones who created the system that allows such madness; we would start seeing our responsibility from the perspective that what ever we now see accelerating around the world, is the exact duplicate of the nastiness, madness and evilness that exists in our minds. For more context, I suggest reading Why Changing the World start with Self - Day 311 and Facing the Evil within - the KEY to Self Awareness - Day 188.

 

Now, if we look back at the original question: Who is Responsible for our Children's Education? it is safe to say that if Real Care for one's children was existing, us, as Parents in this world, would have make sure that our children would be and become the best they could be within a very specific guideline of:

- Give as you would like to receive.

- Do unto another as you would like to be done unto you.

Making sure that our Children would be the best they can be within these above guidelines, would have resulted with a world that is best for all where Madness and Craziness would be non existent; where Poverty and Crime would no longer exists; War and Abuse would be something that we couldn't even grasp to be existing in our harmonized world. Which by the way, if we look at the word: 'Harmony' we would find 2 fascinating things within the sounding of the word:

1. Harmony - No Harm ->When Harmony is truly applied, there is no Harm.

2. Harm Money -> Money is the Root of all Harm isn't it?

 

HOWEVER - we cannot do it unless we understand what Real Care Imply; what Give as you would like to receive and Do unto another as you would like to be done unto you, is practically implies on a Best For all application and consideration; we cannot do it unless we understand our own Mind, our own Programming, our own reactions, thoughts, and automated behaviours and unless we walk our own process of Rebirthing ourselves as Life that is honourable, we would pass on to our children, our own generational sins without even realizing that we do so.

 

So here is to remind ourselves that there is no one to blame, not even ourselves and from here, all we have to do is to move directly to the Correction that is required to stop repeating the same generational patterns that had led us to create a world of Madness in its absolute glorification.

If you haven't already, I suggest reading through the Blog series: The correction Process and the Desteni Message as a 101 guidelines to understand what Programming Is, How we program ourselves, the difference between Honesty and Self Honesty, what does it mean to correct and change ourselves and why, etc.

 

If you are already ready to start investigating and introspecting yourself in all the level of the minds, I suggest walking the Free On-Line DIP Lite Course and start your process of Establishing the basic tools for Self Correction and Realization so that you could become the Seed of Life that would bring about Harmonized Life as a Living example.

Abusive child marriages will END in an Equal Money Capitalism - Day 284

I came across the Dailymail article By Nina Golgowski the other day:

 

The life of a child bride: Heartbreaking photographs show 14-year-old's struggle to raise her baby in poverty as her husband drinks to cope with being out of work

 

clip_image001"At the age of 14, many wouldn't picture their life as a new mother, let alone the wife to another young teen facing alcohol addiction.

In the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan, in a country where 40 percent of the world's child marriages are said to be according to UNICEF, that's the reality for at least one girl named Krishna.

For the last three years a Reuters photographer has provided an inside look into the lives of Krishna and her young husband Gopal Kishan, starting with their marriage in May of 2010 – he at the age of 13 and she 11.

For the following years since, photographer Danish Siddiqui dutifully followed their changing lives together, from the birth of their baby at Krishna’s tender age of 14, to Gopal Kishan's loss of work in his family's struggling soybean fields.

It's that loss of work that encouraged the young father to start drinking Siddiqui wrote with the pictures, a habit that was easily photographed as well as admitted to - especially by Krishna who emotionally displayed her pain before the lens.

In one photograph the girl is seen crumpled on the ground crying, worried her husband would try and hold their child while drunk one day and accidentally drop him instead.

In several others Gopal Kishan is seen pulling bottles and cans up to his bent thin frame while in another he rests smoking lazily around friends.

clip_image002Adding to the young mother’s struggle, Gopal Kishan has told her he thinks he should leave her in the village for work in the city.

Krishna carries her four-month-old son Alok swaddled in her tiny arms - whose delivery she nearly

died from - while facing a reality far different from most.

'As I left the small village, the only thing which bothered me was the future of four-month old Alok,' Siddiqui wrote after his latest pictures were taken of the couple.

'Would he go down the same route his parents took or would he bend societal norms to carve a separate path for himself and his future partner?'

 

Personally, I had no clue that Child Marriage exist in the 21st century but apparently, this happens in many cultures and Religions, all over the world and a substantial Solution was yet to be implemented.

Within my Commitment to investigate all Points, while I was starting to do a research about this point, I realized that the problem is sever and there lots of research I must do before I will be able to write an effective Blog presenting the Problem, Solution and the Reward with the implementation of a solution.

 

Therefor, within the Understanding that I am walking a Process of Real Self Education, I commit myself to also research and investigate the point of Child Marriage. From what I read thus far, thousands of child marriages are being conducted daily. It wasn't so surprising though, to find out that most of these marriages are being done from the starting point of Economic stress and that only a few are really educated and understanding the consequences of such marriages, mentally and Physically - not only to the couple but to their children as well.


So more to come once I'll do some research - stay tuned.

18 months Baby was chopped in pieces, roasting in oven by her Drunk Uncle - Day 283

From Dailymail:

Drunk uncle 'chopped up 18-month-old niece then roasted body parts in the oven' while looking after toddler for her mother

 

Stove in the house in Oldonda village where an 18-month-old girl was killed"A drunk uncle chopped up his 18-month-old niece then roasted her body parts in an oven, police said today.

Andrey Gadzhiev's sister Elena Titova, 29, had left him caring for the toddler for 15 minutes while she visited a neighbour.

 

When she returned there was no sign of the child and her intoxicated brother could not explain what had happened to her.

She searched the house in Oldonda village in eastern Siberia, but then noticed a strange smell from the stove.

Opening the hot oven, she discovered the roasting remains her daughter's body.

A fragment of the child's leg was also found near the sink in the kitchen.

 

Police arrested the man who 'without showing emotion admitted to killing the baby and putting her in the oven'.

Gadzhiev, 34, had 'pushed' the girl, causing her to fall on the floor, killing her, he claimed.

'I was trying to hide her body so I put her in the oven,' he told police."

 

The truth is that when I heard this story, my initial reaction was: 'WHAT THE FUCK?' I was in a complete and absolute shock, my hand went automatically towards my open mouth and Anger possessed me.

I was really angry at the cruelty of humans and I couldn't understand how innocent 18 months old child had to go through such an experience.

 

However today, when I started to investigate the point within and as myself, I saw a few more dimensions within this story. We tend to blame the Alcohol or the person who committed the crime and it's enough for us to let our inner experience go and move on with our lives because "we found" the fault and we have something to blame which from that moment, it is no longer our responsibility.

My first reaction or shell I say Diversion of attention was - 'Alcohol must be banned'. But it's not the alcohol alone, there are many variables within the equation that leads one to commit such horrific crimes.

 

So - I commit myself to further expand my understanding of the Problems instead of accepting and allowing myself to access Reactions that supposedly, shifts my responsibility as if it doesn't concern me because it is the Alcohol fault. I see, realize and understand that a solution must be implemented as a Prevention Principle and therefor, I commit myself to educate myself within all the dimensions involved and present a solution within the principle of that which is best for all lives.

 

(Note - To understand the 'Criminal Mind' that our society are all suffer from, either internally or externally, I suggest reading through Crime's Journey to Life Blogs.)
