Kudos on this link on children!

Slim~ You are a parent now!! In my tradition, a teacher or mentor is a "parent" of their students.If it is in love, lucky are those!

Now, I am a granddaughter of a country school teacher that taught
for over 30 years in a country school of over 12 grades by herself.
I have homeschooled my 3 children for most of their years schooling so far.
The last 2 years I have "Awakened", even though my father has been in Natural Healing & Nutrition for ALL my life. I will tell you what I have done:

Firstly, I have always had open communication with my children.When they were small we discussed nature and it's systems.We had lady bug lodges, butterfly gardens, fish aquariums, lizards,snakes,helped injured wildlife in our area.We grew plants in the kitchen(Sometimes there were armies of paper cups on the counters! So many discoveries we made(and still do!)

Now they are just beginning their teen and tween years. I have always discussed current events as I saw them,waited for their opinions and discussed what I saw or felt in regards to their views. I am extremely honest in that I do not have ALL the answers. I only know I TRY MY BEST to do what is right and to have as much info that I can before I make important decisions- be the facts from ANY source(In regards to no racism or bigotry),
not just from my background or country of origin.

When I came across Michael Sharp's site on what we humans really are
(Fractals of God), I told the kids that we are more than what we have been taught to believe. As I have always shown genuine respect for their inner essence, they took it in with excitement but kinda yea that makes sense.
We are all exploring what that all entails. We have done many "group" intentions for healing of others and slowing down storms for higher good only and have been gratified at the responses. Since last year, we have done an Herbal Journal for healing for part of their homeschooling. This year we are doing a Stone & Crystal Journal on healing.They find interesting info for me on Youtube,etc. They teach me as well as I teach them. Most of their friends are in regular school and I feel that somehow my children give those children a certain stability about how the Universe runs. Children are very aware of what is truth and what is Love & kindness. When we do come across situations that may be questionable on what the friends parents would
agree to, WE ask permission. ( I would expect the same respect). I openly tell my children that I have different values than most and that I have taught them only light, kindness, respect,& love. I HAVE shown them many examples of darkness and why it's wrong. I HAVE shown them what is wrong with greed, power hunting,closed minds. I am still teaching these things and how all things have consequences!!!!! I let them know I am not perfect and do not know everything but I give them the best that I know and have and love them with my whole being!! I cannot gaurrentee what their life will be or mine, but I have taught them how to investigate and to make wise choices.

Good luck on all that you do!!!
