Relative to our children or any children with whom we would interact, our one dominant intention would be to give them a conscious understanding of how powerf:l and impor;ant and valuable and perfect they are. Ever> word that would come out of our mouths would be a word that would be oered with the desire to help this individual know that they are powerf:l. It would be a word of empowerBent. We would set the Tone for upliBent and understand that ever>;hing will gFavitate to that Tone if we would maintain it consistently. Abraham / Esther Hicks

Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb. Brooks to wade, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, bu eries, animals to pet, hayelds, pinecones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education.
