This wish goes out to all our Head
Mistresses, Franchises, Master Franchise, Teachers and all related staff that
help nurture kids with their work and commitment.
On this special day I would like to share
with you an extract from Nancy Rosenow’s newest book, Heart-Centered
Teaching Inspired by Nature. She writes……..
"Over
the years I've come to believe that those of us who work with or for children
have a responsibility to nurture themselves as tenderly as we nurture the
children in our care. Children deserve to be taught by people who delight
in the wonders of the world and are eager to share them. Children deserve
to be taught by people who teach through positive example.
"Consider:
·
How
can we help children see the world is a place of goodness and unlimited
possibilities if we experience it as dreary and stifling?
·
How
can children trust us about the benefits of healthy eating and exercise if they
don't choose to practice what we preach?
·
How
will we help children learn the difficult art of conflict resolution if bitter
conflicts in our own relationships remain unresolved?
·
How
can we help children discover nature's gifts of joy and wonder if we rarely
delight in those gifts ourselves?
·
And
perhaps the hardest question of all: How will we help children experience
themselves as unconditionally loved and loving beings if we don't feel
unconditionally loving toward ourselves?"
I think the above extract will help us all
have a great day. So nurture yourself kindly and happily today so that for the
rest of the year you will be able to happily nurture kids and Kiducation. All
the best and do share a copy of this with your teams.
Warm
regards,
