SKILLS OVER WILLS PART 1

Hey that's my forthcoming workshop first time for the kids! This is just a brief write up to tell what is that going to be about!
It's empirical that life is quite a package with its ups and it's downs; with haves and have nots; with happiness and sorrows! Listen to just anyone's story, life is all the same!
What can make life really worth living and so much fulfilling are the skills that outweigh the "so much" that we offer through our wills. 
The first part of "Skills Over Wills" is focussing on the following:
1. Attitude of Gratitude: The posture of thankfulness automatically eliminates complains from our lives. 
2. Creativity: Being creative has really little to do with art and so much to do with innovations! A creative mind is one that's good at creating life in life! 
3. Visualisation: Imagine it happen, make it happen, see it happen.....live in that happening!! Visualisation is a mind picture making technique that can fetch you any thing and every thing in life! 
4. Self Image: Knowing the person staying with you is most important for happiness in life. Loving that person makes life worthwhile. That person for you is you!!!!

Bolus dose: Twelve hour course (3hours x 4days)

DO YOU WANT AN OBEDIENT CHILD ?

I'm particularly not fond of children who are good at following! Well, under the pretext of disciplining children and making them obedient we kind of stop them to use their own head! 

Which parent today wants their child to stand on the burning deck whence all but he flees! I am sure no one wants the replica of Casabianca..for the noblest thing which perished there, was not that young faithful heart but a brain that kept looking for orders when what should be done was so obvious! 

I would rather have a child who can use his brain to walk out of weird situations! I would love to see my son find a tier or just anything clinging on to which he could jump into the sea float and possibly survive! Or better so give others brilliant and creative ideas to save oneself! 

Thinkers are not followers!

Creators aren't followers!

Inventors take unique paths!

Re think: Do you really want an obedient child ????
(Casabianca is a story of an obedient boy who kept standing on the burning deck just because his father asked him to stand there and wait until he returned; but the ship caught fire and the father laid unconscious so couldn't ask his son to run. That's why the obedient son burnt alive in fire)

A pinch of junk 2

Junk food is something we don't want our child to have! We all know of the deleterious effects of the same. Take a look at regular conversation between parent and child:

Parent: Hey Samar, if you finish this glass of milk I'll give you chocolate!
Samar: Half chocolate for half a glass of milk????
Parent (thinking): ya okay! But milk first!
Samar( looking at the glass of milk as though it's the hardest fluid to gulp): okay mom!
Samar drinks half a glass as quickly as possible to reduce the duration of pain while drinking milk.
Parent gives him the chocolate halved!

What has Samar learnt?
1. Drinking milk is a potential way to get chocolate.
2. It's moms wish that I drink milk
3. Bribery is the best way to get work done
4. I can probably get a chocolate for every thing that my mom wants me to do!
5. Chocolate is a prize!
6. Prizes are meant to be fetched! They are the dreams and aspirations! So but obviously they are not only good but really very good!

None of this is what parents actually wish to convey!

 Bottom line: If junk is a prize it is definitely something to be sought for!
Let your prizes be fruits, playing in a park, taking them to a friends house, telling them a story, doing painting or anything that you want your kids to be involved in NOT and NEVER that what you know is harmful!! Bribery doesn't work very well, the more you use it the more stuck you'll feel and the more you will have to use it more and the more you will actually fail in your endeavors! Next I'm going to post.  "Drinking milk made easy"!!!
