Wellbeing 17
There must be a variety of offerings, so that just because you cannot understand chemistry, you are not made to feel stupid – you can do something else. You have to physically nourish and mentally ignite children about things. The simplest way is to take them out into nature, where everything, from an insect to a flower, is exciting. But most parents today want to buy some stuff, throw it in the children’s room, lock it – everything is padded so that they cannot hurt themselves – and the parents can go to a party. That is not parenting. Billions of dollars are spent every year on toys for thirty percent of the children on the planet, while the remaining seventy percent never get a toy in their lives. Somehow, those who get these toys are the ones who suffer most, on a mental and emotional level. The others may suffer because of lack of nutrition and other basic requirements. But the affluent ones are going through inner turmoil. “Before being empowered, you must have a sense of inclusiveness.”
If instead you take your children out, make them climb a tree, walk somewhere with them, take them for a swim, the child will grow up physically and mentally healthy.
