How did you learn to Remember?

If one learned to remember – then when should we do it?  There is one thing about parenting I just realized. My youngest daughter said to me “Mum how I am supposed to remember things that I forget”. I had to think about that because I put myself into the mind of asking that exact question and I came up with – often I don’t remember something; it’s not that I forget, but then who reminds us to remember? How do we remember as adults? We have things in place to remind us, but how often do we rely on part of our brain to recall things that are important and recall those things timely? We have to remember everyday to look at the calendar or the diary; but for children? I pondered that thought and thought – wow; I have not forgotten things – I just haven’t remembered them. There are the easy things like – wake up, get up, get dressed, make your bed, put your pj’s away, choose breakfast – eat breakfast, pick up your lunch, clean your teeth, wash your face, pack the bag – what goes in the bag; homework, library books, get your hat … the list is endless & it reverses itself at the end of the day. To teach an 8 year old child to prompt her memory of things she must be aware of changing conditions everyday – not the fixed; but the changing – for example, … the “wear the dress on Thursday it’s Choir” – but take shorts as well, after school is Cricket – it is a huge dynamic; especially when she needs to be aware of her external world at the same time. No wonder they have random unexplainable sick days! That’s my daily dilemma and my challenge to remember as her parent in a chaordic world.

Underpinning Parallel Leaders?

Underpinning Parallel Leaders?

I wonder why sometimes it is that I perceive things the way I do.  The way I do seems to be the way in which these things have their association to other things – correlation is a remarkable consciousness.

My children go to school and they happily engage.  Okay, so there are the random days where they would rather stay at home with Mummy; well! okay the younger one – because the older beautiful girl prefers school over home during the week.

Being involved with a systemic approach to change really makes me wonder sometimes.  Do I remain in broader systemic issues; or do I localize and transfer energies into areas that require individual change to grow into systemic change that can then underpin strategy?.

Wonder what I am talking about? I work in mental health; this is the fundamental aspect in life that I am courageously challenged to act within.  I mean how often is it that one gets to organically render the future by participating in life “moment by moment” not by – “what someone said”; or, by “oh what shall we do now” the individual crux of the smelly undy.  Individual drama seem to appease each others’ by the “somewhat” mental defecation of sorrow, pity and “you poor thing” these types of responses to social responsibility defeat the whole purpose of peace;  by upholding ego by sustaining belief.   As someone once said “to be the change you want to see, you have to be the change” – I don’t think this means “every now and then” – I think it’s consistency that unites this phrase.

Everytime I think about school I am consciously thinking “education” and often wonder why; this is not at the forefront of people’s minds’ – why do things that don’t promote “learning” and actively demonstrating learning? like timely decision making not-so-timely “oh don’t worry moments”; why do they not slow down; in a world that is “oh! so busy” by “catch-phrase” and fundamentally adding momentum to the worth of “I’m so distant from my conscious experience”   and understand that it is not often the degree that which teachers, staff and parents and carers are impelled with but by the working exercise of putting the learning into practice?  each helps each – we must evolve for the sake of the children; the future.

Does it matter if this is a public school? does it matter if it is a private school? manipulation has a cross-bred purpose to impose on it’s students in a private manner; because this working order knows how to take it’s form.  Where is the love?

Like sands through the hour glass; so are the days of my life!

A Rude Culture Shock? the all butt naked truth?

A Rude Culture Shock? the all butt naked truth?

interpersonal-communication starnews-300x230

As I was emailing an expression of interest & out of interest I happened to see a @612brisbane tweet flash by my page asking questions to listeners about “what age do we leave our children alone at home” – my response was automatically coupled by the page I turned in local paper moments before – so I scanned it and these are the thoughts that I have as type.

Does it matter what age we leave our children alone? look what is happening by bringing information into the home! do we care enough about how information is expressed? in which format? in which area? this scares me this image;  I am only too happy that these children are not mine on this page! my daughter was horrified when I asked her opinion of the news upon the page.

If these children were mine? what would I do? The minding of the frame is just terribly wrong here – it sends incongruent messages and we wonder why children grow up messed up?

Protection Seekers – Arn’t we All?

Protection Seekers – Arn’t we All?

Does it really matter why they are coming to Australia when we understand what they are chttp://museumvictoria.com.au/pages/9778/mn009820.gifoming for? Protection … some think they are coming here to get a job … a job to them is a beginning to provide protection … isn’t protection what everyone requires; but may not be aware of? No protection then no freedom; they haven’t even got freedom of voice because of the language bridge.keying-in-my-thoughts moz-screenshot keying-in-my-thoughts moz-screenshot-1

The public should start investing in government homes with secure rental schemes.  Local communities need more resources into mental health before the physical state of the country & it’s people are equally depressed; these people will not be able to pay for psychologists, they won’t even know how to help themselves through a mechanism that exists to support emotional damage – these people are already traumatized; this will take a while to work out when people here begin to understand what they are saying because of the language diversity.

Educate the public through the media & the children by introducing more diversity within their education environment and expose them to different cultures earlier so integration can provide sustainability for the future.  Because there will be more waiting offshore.

Aylum seekers, Protection seekers, Immigrants – are they not all looking for a better life? for protection from that which is not making life happy? don’t forget – what country or life that is left is sometimes  just the shell of the egg.

Sorry

Posted By textonscreen on October 16th, 2009
Sorry

How many times is Sorry heard? is sorry not heard? or is sorry waiting to be heard?

Who cares.  The thing is sorry belongs to children who do things and don’t understand what could become of them; sorry is accepted as a form of acknowledgement.  Sorry is the system that adults should use as a benchmark to provide children with solution skills; more time sitting with them talking – yarning about actions and reactions; about reactions then response – to me, this is a responsible version of parenting.  But I guess if sorry isn’t taught in the right context we could be a long time waiting for this to become the majority rules.

Sorry is the pre-cursor to – I acted; it didn’t appear to be right – although I don’t know why it wasn’t right.  Sorry then becomes the formal mechanism that we as parents or carers should identify as a “trigger” that more information is required to reinforce the learning and understanding in our children.

This smacking is cruel – it’s so mean.  They say it is necessary to quieten things down.  Well, I wonder how the noise was started – if it needs violence to quieten it? who is the frustrated one? more so than not; if a psychologist was present that person would enlighten you to the fact that the parent is the one with the frustration – marked as denial; but waiting to escape through the act of yet another blow to a child.  Whether that be verbal or non-verbal.  It’s an easy out for a parent that cannot behave him/herself!

My parents used to hit me – I won’t begin to say with what and how once I was knocked out.  Funnily enough – I knew it was my parents that needed help – I was the one who copped the release of their anger.  If someone had been there to help my parents I would have had so many different learning potentials.

Sorry coming from an adult is only good when it is returned with a choice to the person affected to provide a solution instead of hear “sorry” again.  Sorry to some people means nothing to others it’s a key to open a new door & unlearn limits to freedom in evolution.

Careful Work in a Narrow Field

Careful Work in a Narrow Field

I am not a contemporary thinker –why do you think that? – it is a blessing to have those in life that do challenge ways of being; not criticizing or analyzing just wonderizing.  I woke to this knowing of what the answer is for me.

Using critical thought is a behavioral understanding that is only applied when the method of  an “outcome” is desired.  Therefore to me everything else is “as it is – as it becomes” and is; uniquely random.

To develop an understanding of the work that must be done on earth is to be empowered with the purpose that is required to do it.   To create social change is to understand the environments we move, integrate and create within.

I guess synthesized information can only come about once aligned with a purpose to identify, retrieve  and collaborate it.  The discipline in balanced life is not to think critically but to know how to act in the situation or environment that calls within the framework.  This is the way I relate theory into practice and say “I’m not a contemporary thinker”  – I am only a temporary thinker; within the freedom of my mind.

On application of who I am and what I do is not preformed – only aligned with a purpose; and that is to raise the condition of humanity.  I do this through the sanctum of my mind and forficate through the channel of mental health.

Understanding health issues are not known until they become dis-ease – spiritually understanding as a cultural diversity .

Hopefully spiritually aligned workers will see that the livelihood to create social change is done through the deeper cultural experience of living in a shared conception of morality – in the way we organize ourselves and the way in which we interact with our environment .  “Cultural diversity is as necessary for humankind as biodiversity is for nature”.

My Values – My Morals – A concept – My Culture

My Culture is the by-product of my Values.

What is Young?

Posted By textonscreen on September 13th, 2009
What is Young?

Am I? what is You is ng? to ng is to You as nanogram is to one billionth of a gram (1/1,000,000,000) so okay well – it’s a rare noun.  What is rare these days anyways? I find the you in g is almost like – uncertainty within the likes of what one can think; because one can!… to have a random mind is to know how to solve unilateral moments into fractal dimensions – like the sub-divisions of an orange as a  fruit.keying-in-my-thoughts little-miss-fun

The embodiment of the young is the you in g that is always being facilitated because it is somewhat “pre-condtioned” by past.  Living in the past is like living in America when you actually live in Australia – if you live anywhere beyond today tomorrow!

The variables are dynamic and the body shows signs of what the inner mind does to the outward shape of it’s kind.

I guess it shows to go that the young in mind is the gee! in you which is exactly “y”!

“The eagle flies in the sky, but nests on the ground.” (Albanian proverb) an interesting proverb where the doing is enaction.  Always learning new things with a mind that is as young as a hypernym.

I hope that parents and carers of young children will always amend their ways and see the child as the one who needs guidance and support – not pre-conditionment of some past post-patterned thought.

Time to rest … she is the mind of a random generation.
