“Snakes and Ladders”-Resilience Guide

 

POWER OF UTTERANCE…

The children I work with have usually failed more times than they have succeeded. They usually have given up on adults and do not trust any system the adults want to use to “fix” them.

 

Now this also means 80% of these students have missed out on learning the sounds of the alphabet. If these sounds are not learned and mastered when young all other learning falls away into “no where land “ and we are left with a child in a state of hopelessness, or self-hate for being so stupid or dumb and in a lot of cases for the rest of their lives.

 

After working out what kind of dominate learner they are as well as exploring in safe ways, that suits each individual child’s needs, what sounds they do or do not know I then share with them that the sounds they are missing is the major reason they have struggled in all other areas of learning.

The relief on each child’s face when they hear they can find a way out of the horrid place of hopelessness and despair is beyond any human words but felt deep within the heart and soul.

 

I found a solution the children could take back into their classrooms to achieve continued advancements to get themselves up to par with other students which did not require me being with them.

 

What was missing in the majority of these children’s experiences was they were not getting opportunities to hear their own voices. The power of speech, utterance, hearing yourself speak, or singing, or chanting, or reading out loud is the only way the bridges in the brain can be built between eyes/feeling brain to the ears/thinking brain and doing/instinct brain. It is this foundational process of “hearing your own voice” that builds these bridges which is a critical element in learning at all other levels.

 

To achieve unity of inner systems these bridges need to be built and you are never too old to start to build them.

 

As the human brain grows and develops over thousands and thousands of years so does the growth and development of the super human power of speech, words, talking, utterance and language towards the capacities of contemplation, meditation, reflection, pondering and higher levels of conscious thinking. Out of these areas of growth comes comprehension, understanding and many more intellectual skills.

 

What you see in each individual human’s development of speech and brain growth patterns you also see the exact same growth and development patterns in the collective human race. What is in the Macro is the same pattern in the Micro.

 

These children taught me that the more they got to talk and share their ideas and thoughts with adults and the adults took the time to listen and respectively reflect back to the children accepting and genuine belief in the child the stronger the child’s abilities increased in their classrooms.

 

The more the children got to develop their language, vocabulary and communication skills while talking to the adults around them the stronger their reading, writing , thinking, reflection and pondering capacities also strengthen. The stronger their thinking and reflection skills developed the more their brains grew and developed. The communication skills are symbiotic with brain growth and development.

 

So does anyone know why most adults do not want to talk to children? What is so scary to most adults to find out how children see the world around them or find out how the child is feeling about the world around them? Why do parents work so hard to get their very young babies to talk and as soon as they have mastered the capacity to talk the parents no longer want to hear what they have to say and ask them to be quite?

 

Classroom teachers around the world set all sorts of amazing information in front of the children they are teaching and as soon as the children see and hear this information they immediately burst into speech with their friends sitting next to them with excitement and joy with what they have just learned and 90% of classroom teachers read this behaviour as being disrespectful and shut them all down immediately.

 

Why and when did adults create such a false reality of what children are doing was evil and wrong and disrespectful to the teacher?

 

Children need to put into words immediately what they have just learned so they can hear their thoughts out loud to build bridges of learning across to their other brains and learning styles.

 

As teachers are given more and more of what communities and parents used to be responsible for in the education and training of children the children are falling further and further behind in their language, social, emotional and spiritual strengths. Let’s be honest here humanity; teachers have to be given the slack here and community and parents need to take back responsibilities.

 

As I have been observing this process and trying to understand what the children are actually doing I learned from the children that it does not matter how many times they hear the teacher or others say words or sounds it is the child’s own voice being heard by their own ear that builds the bridges in the brain between the different brains and connects the collective learning development of the child.

 

Let me put that another way. For the human brains to connect and then be able to unify into one collective learning system each individual brain requires to hear their own voice speaking, sounds, speaking out loud for the bridges between each different brain; thinking/hearing, seeing/feeling and doing/instinct brain to work to their collective optimum.

 

I explain to the children if they want to learn to read or spell, or write they have to say the sounds out load for their own ears to hear their own voice and this is what builds the bridges from their eyes to their ears to their action brains.

 

Every time I explain this to a child I see them breath as they understand how they can now achieve instead of failing (every child is hungry to learn).. All children are looking for answers to how to empower themselves and stop being dependant on others and to achieve success instead of continuing to fail.

 

The other level to the power of utterance is when a story is not shared, when a child goes unheard that story, trauma, memory will just keep playing out or within over and over again in the thinking brain until someone stops long enough for the child to share and for someone to actually listen and acknowledge they have heard them. The amount of adults of all ages I have sat with as they share stories they have carried all their lives that have blocked their own development has been a tragedy in its self.

 

When that person was given the opportunity to share their story regardless of age they then are free to move forward and grow up all other social, emotional and spiritual selves. Working with children has far more value than waiting until they reach older age to clear these blockages.

 

Every child on this planet needs to have adults give them time to express their own thoughts and feelings and have reflected back to them they have been heard and are valued. Then the natural continuum of maturity can be freed to advance all of humanity forward and not just a lucky few.
