Summary

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 58The trivium. The learning process. The way we operate. Information comes in, and this informs our thoughts. Our thoughts inform the way we feel. Our feelings inspire us into action, because of what we know. So, this is why we want the best information, the right information, the Truth. It sets us up for living the Right way.Young children are all action. I think the trivium is reversed in the early years. From two-to-seven-years-old, the actions (play-based learning) are what sets the mind up to be able to receive the information in the best way… and to think the best thoughts. From seven-to-fourteen-years-old, we meet in the middle with the emotional development. Learning pursuits such as playing a musical instrument should be introduced with emotional awareness and sensitivity… it’s all about feelings… the second stage of development is about learning to feel. From 14-21 years old… this is where we would see more of a formal education, learning how to think, where the truth can be presented and received directly.Thought-Fairies (as explained in 'The Power of Thought') are the way to introduce this trivium concept to young children. It speaks to children in a way that affirms their connection to the unseen and to their active imagination. It is a reminder to us grown-ups as well, which makes this story from The Eternal Verities an affirmation to transfer through the bonds we have with our young.The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.https://thesecretkindergarten.com/MUSIC by Nancy Stewart of https://nancymusic.com/Shake Your ApplesWhen The Pretty Flowers GrowEasy HabitsAUDIO STORIESCaldecott, Randolph (1846-1886).

Episode Description

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 58

The trivium. The learning process. The way we operate. Information comes in, and this informs our thoughts. Our thoughts inform the way we feel. Our feelings inspire us into action, because of what we know. So, this is why we want the best information, the right information, the Truth. It sets us up for living the Right way.

Young children are all action. I think the trivium is reversed in the early years. From two-to-seven-years-old, the actions (play-based learning) are what sets the mind up to be able to receive the information in the best way… and to think the best thoughts. From seven-to-fourteen-years-old, we meet in the middle with the emotional development. Learning pursuits such as playing a musical instrument should be introduced with emotional awareness and sensitivity… it’s all about feelings… the second stage of development is about learning to feel. From 14-21 years old… this is where we would see more of a formal education, learning how to think, where the truth can be presented and received directly.

Thought-Fairies (as explained in 'The Power of Thought') are the way to introduce this trivium concept to young children. It speaks to children in a way that affirms their connection to the unseen and to their active imagination. It is a reminder to us grown-ups as well, which makes this story from The Eternal Verities an affirmation to transfer through the bonds we have with our young.
