I received an angry comment from one of my videos at http://www.michellepayton.com/video-clips.htm titled “Are Today’s Kids Gifted? How to Educate our Children.” In a nutshell, this person was very bitter when it came to children and felt they are all misguided.
As a mother of three dependent children at the moment while simultaneously seeking enlightenment – one in college, one in high school and one in elementary school – there are days when I wonder how loose are their connections? For my own sanity, I revisit the physiological fact that their young brains aren’t completely developed until they are 25 years old — you can listen and download the transcript (free) to “Tips on Mainstream Metaphysical Parenting of Psychic Children” by scrolling down to this interview on http://www.michellepayton.com/radio-clips.htm . But when my high school aged child skips one-third of the required school days and doesn’t think about the consequences, I wonder what electrical impulses could possibly be going through his head?
Yes. I know kids’ (reasoning) frontal-lobe areas are the last to make connections, but how much can parents and mentors bear? Yes. I also know that my children are a part of my learning and enlightenment, so how do I grow while moving through 25 years times three kids? Stay tuned. My Book 2 of the “Adventures of a Mainstream Metaphysical Mom” series talks all about this and our responsibility as adults to send forth productive adults into the world.
In the meantime, think about how you’ve evolved as a spiritual being while encouraging the growth of developing minds (including your own).
