“Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore


More and more children being born into the world have a different  vibrational energy  . They way they  think, their awareness and perceptions seem to be more advanced than our own, and they have the power and need to change the way we have been living . They have come to update our ideas, our ideals, and energetic imprint.

The question is are  we listening to them? Are we paying attention? Are we being present with them. Are we honouring their truth and authenticity?

Each child is born with a unique imprint. This imprint is the unique make-up of the child’s gifts, talents and energy. It points towards their life purpose. When we help  children express their gifts and talents, they align with their needs, and expand, grow and become peaceful.It is as if the children know why they are here. They know what they need, what they want. In helping them we need to be open to, and aligning our systems with, their their deeper sense of self and purpose—to their unique imprint. However if we  continue to impose our ideas on them and curtail their  creative potential we stay locked in unfulfilling and unhealthy patterns of behaviour and set them up to be frustrated and kicking out at the systems and they will struggle to fit. Their behaviour is telling us something, especially if it is  disruptive within school. What could that behaviour be telling us is the question to ask? If it is in the school is it the child or the school that needs to be changed? Schools have been operating in the same way since they started and it is time for them to change .

Children will continue to be labelled and struggle at an increasing rate. While it may be tempting to diagnose these behaviours as some sort of disorder, schools  must take  responsibility for what is happening. These behaviours are symptoms of a creative children  fighting for a voice in systems that is outdated. It would be sad if there  was no  resistance. Any attempt to continue to contain these creative , right brained children into an old, outdated and limited school system or social system will create frustration and behavioural symptoms.

The question is is it time to change the schools , since the children are changing constantly? Is it time to let them shine instead of dimming their light and creativity?  By doing so we may let ourselves start to move and change.

Is it time to let them take the lead, allow their creativity, trust them more, become more present and allow a system where they can expand and grow and not be squeezed  into boxes.  We need to  learn  from them. In doing so we can let them reach their  fullest potential so that they may lead us to a new way of being.

“Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” Einstein .

They children know this. Children matter!
"On the Children" by Khalil Gibran
On Children by Kahlil Gibran


Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.


You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.


You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
