Preparation of Session#10 - Potential

Session #10 - Potential

There is a cricket proverb which says, "Your Batting's potential is till the 10th Wicket". Well we have reached the 10th session. Time to review potential

You see, we all want our child to reach his or her fullest potential - do you? Have you thought about your potential? Have you reached your maximum potential? If yes, How, when, where? What was required to reach it? If not, are you planning to ...

I don't mean to be sarcastic here - just inviting you to get whimsical about this whole concept of potential.

Jot down your thoughts, start a conversation with your neighbour or with your child or in any online group.

Today, as you go around interacting with your child, keep asking this question to yourself - What do I want?

If you want, as a reminder put it around your neck or pin it on your dress.

Today, think about your child's future.

Does the window you're looking out from is tainted with fear or anxiety.

Or does the window glass have marks of expectations on it.

Or you've put curtains of rosy patterns, happy polka dots.

Or what kind is your window?

Once you have thought through read this article

Imagine you are the coach of a cricket team. Your last pair has to bat and your team still needs 30 runs to win. What will you say to this last pair?

Think of any unpleasant or troublesome or worrisome situation from the last few days/weeks involving you and your child (or anybody else if no child is there with you). Now relook at the situation from these seven windows:

Child's thinking
Child's feelings
Child is a consultant
Child's creativity
Bad news is good news
Reflection is the key
Which Mi is child using

I Don't like TRUST

Dear Mummy and Papa Trust is such a big problem. I don't like it. Please do not trust me. When you say you trust me, this puts pressure on me. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will keep my word. But many times I am not able to. Sometimes because I gave that promise because you wanted me to (and I didn't really want to) - like the promise of not eating that chocolate before dinner. Then you said that I had broken your trust. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will not tell lies. But many times, when I'm simply scared to get a scolding, I tell lies. I was scared when I did not complete the project so I told that my teacher liked my work. Then you saw my diary and teacher's note and you said that I had broken your trust. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will live up to your expectations. But the other day when i was teasing my friend badly, you said I had broken your trust because I did not behave properly while you expected me...

[Jagriti] Who is RESPONSIBLE ??

Excerpt from a book by OSHO - Rajneesh (Autobiography of a spiritually incorrect mystic ) The wise man wants you only to have insight into things so that you have your own light. But you don't want insight, you want clear-cut instructions. You don't want to see yourself, you want to be guided. You don't want to accept your responsibility towards yourself; you want to throw the whole responsibility on the shoulders of the master, on the shoulders of the wise man. Then you feel at ease. Now he is responsible; if something goes wrong, he is responsible. And everything is going to be wrong, because unless you take your responsibility nothing is ever going to be right. Nobody can put you right except you yourself. A real religious person is born the moment you accept your responsibility for yourself, the moment you say, "Whatsoever I am is my choice—not of the past but of the present. It is my choice of this moment, and if I want to change it I am absolutely free to change ...

Observing is Learning.

A man who wants to learn ZEN gets redirected to a small tea shop that an elderly lady runs. He goes and asks her, "Can you teach me Zen?" The elderly lady, in response, SLAPS him hard. Shocked, the man runs aways only to come back the next day, disguised, just to find out why she slapped him. He quietly sits in one corner of her shop, afraid that he may get slapped again. As he sits there, he observes . He observes how she makes the tea, how she serves her customers and how her whole shop is and he observes every little detail about this lady and her tea shop and thereby he learns ZEN. When somebody tells us that he or she wants to learn about children or how to facilitate them, we recommend three things you must do and those are: Observe Observe Observe Most of what we have learned about children has actually come about because we observed and are still observing and learning. Which is why when people want to learn from us, we gently, but firmly turn them to learn fr...
