It's All About The Children

Something none of us, the people, nor the politicians, many of whom are parents too...should be forgetting is that the only important legacy we'll be leaving to the children of the world when we go home is the Earth and all that lives upon it....

Where are we currently headed in building a better world for our children, our grandchildren and beyond, down through the ages?

How can we expect the young to keep the faith that their dreams can come true if those young ones are going to be totally distracted from personal achievements by huge problems...

...like inflation, the sinking value of money, staggering debt that is promoted to those who will fall for the lure of instant gratification, pollution, environmental disaster, health care challenges, war and other events that simply drain people of enough energy, initiative and time to even focus on anything other than just work, sleep, and pay more bills?

I hear disillusioned adults, who had dreams when they were younger, and lost track of them along the way, daily, despairing that our youth are disrespectful, lazy, worthless and more...and I beg to differ...

I see young people all over the world expressing their dreams and with belief that the future holds promise for all. And I've never seen anyone more excited, eager to learn and absolutely full of energy while doing what they love most to do....

Time to unschool, I believe, seriously. Homeschooled kids seem to be much more likely to achieve personal actualization. Our young folks are being drowned in an overload of problems they didn't create, societal concerns...education that consists of information overload in the name of giving them a 'well rounded' education and more.

Our children can teach us all so much about hope, eagerness to learn, how to enjoy what we have and giving thanks each day. And they can excel if taught just the basics and then given the freedom to explore their own interests and talents.

I've included here links and videos that have been an inspiration to me to do better. To each and every day, do at least one thing that WILL make tomorrow better for all of us!

Would love to hear from all who read here..links I can add, views, stories and visions for the future of these precious gifts we've been entrusted to nuture, grow and prepare for their futures!
