I am a spiritual being on a physical journey. I truly feel my purpose in life is to serve others with compassion and understanding. I thrive in the midst of adversity and love assisting others less fortunate than myself, especially children. I feel the number one societal problem right now is the disciplinary actions we use towards our children. I feel that the collective social issues of society; lack of education, violence, gang activity, poverty, racism, discrimination, mental separateness from the next being,… etc, are all results of shadows we've developed during childhood. This is why it's so important to focus on social development and also personal, spiritual development during our younger years. The older we become, the more shadows we build and use to entrap our minds. Focusing on childhood behavior and understanding the actions of youth will allow adults to respond more positively and assist with co-creating a new state of social conscious.
We here the expression a lot, "Children are like sponges". However, I beg to differ. With a sponge, the absorbed content can be squeezed out. Removed from the object. With a child, you can't simply squeeze out information they already processed. Even if subconsciously, it will always remain in the root of their thoughts. This is why I am so strongly against physically disciplining our children. It doesn't have to be a certain degree of violence or a particular amount of strength behind the force to classify physical discipline as "abuse" or "OK". It's all abuse. Mentally, a spanking is a negative result of a child's actions. Same thing with a punch, a whipping by a belt, or even a smack on the hands; it sends a message to the child, " I don't agree with you, and because of it you will be hit". I feel it's time parents slowed down and discovered the true essence of their children. Take time to learn about their own make-ups and how it carries through to their kid's character. Find out how the child's personality interacts with other varieties of personalities. This way, when a child does something we adults consider "bad" we can stop, analyze the situation, and realize it's simply the part of the child exploring their newfound universe. The actions of children will become less personal and more educational. Together, dedicated adults and exploring children can raise the collective consciousness of negative disciplining and reduce the ignorant actions of society.
