Pupilage:
An age of having
dreams and creating results;
the tentative
exploration of sharing your experience with the world at large.
For typical
children, after 5 years of being told we are wonderful, being taught to
dream big and believe in our dreams, this is often a time of challenge
and disillusionment, a time when “earth bound” structure and restriction
begins, we learn have too's and cant's.
For
Children of Becoming, it is a time of supported exploration. Parents and
teachers of pupils, share experiences, and offer opportunities for
dreams and desires to come true.
For Example:
Child: I
want to be an astronaut.
Parent/
Teacher: Oh? Why?
Child:
Answers
Parent/
Teachers: That is wonderful, what all do would you think you would need
to know to be an astronaut?
Child:
Answers
Parent /
Teacher: Hmmm, where do you think you could learn about that? Do you
think that Astronauts need to know how to do math? What about Science?
Child:
Answers
Parent /
Teacher: You maybe right, would you like to look for a book about
astronauts to learn more about what they do and what they need to know?
Leading a
child to choose to learn about a subject of interest makes the knowledge
of value to them personally. Learning becomes a process of accumulating
skills and information that has an affirmative place in the student’s
life.
This
process is an important one, it is where a child develops a love of
learning that will serve them throughout their life. It is in keeping
with the concept that “We are spiritual beings having an physical
experience” and that the “Experience” is the purpose.
This is
also the time when children form their beliefs about their ability to
direct their experience, by touching the flow of abundance. When a
child dreams and the dream comes true, they experience joy. When a
child dreams and someone tells them it can’t come true, the child learns
resistance to the flow of abundance and their joy is diminished.
As
spiritual beings the universe conspires to provide us with our hearts
desires. The Universe always says yes. Yes you can be an astronaut, yes
you can choose to struggle to learn math (or not too), and yes it does
get easier with time. Yes you can have anything you ask for!
When
children learn at an early ages how to ask for what it is they really
want, and how to allow those things they ask for to come into their
lives, they learn to live a joyful and empowered life.
