Imagine a world where far more people reach adulthood with their curiosity, creativity, and intuition intact. A world where our children aren’t punished for their behavior but instead learn to identify and clearly communicate their needs. A world where we have the freedom to explore and discover lifestyles that combine our interests with our strengths and talents. Where we feel strongly connected to our culture and lead lives that are energizing, contributing to our communities in a meaningful way and finding joy in those contributions. How different would that world be? How much healthier would people be? How would crime rates be affected? What types of problems could we solve?
I know this sounds ridiculously idealistic, but what can I say? I’m a dreamer. I also believe we can get much, much closer to this ideal if we rethink the way we’re educating our children. I know I promised an outline of how our school system is hurting our kids, but that gets pretty dark. I felt compelled to first share my vision and why I’m so driven to talk about these ideas.
So take a moment, and imagine that world.
