The Peacock Butterflies
from The Secret Kindergarten | For Young Children · host Gino Volante
Young children are practising play, learning through play and growing through play. This is helping develop their brain and their ability to think. Clara Codd's Theosophy for Very Little Children has a lesson about thought called "What Things are Like". It affirms the connectedness that young children are a part of. It teaches about thought. It is an important lesson because although it is a type of formal instruction (which Gino is against), it is an example of how you can talk to children once you have their bond, their respect and acceptance. Notice how in this lesson there is no telling anyone what to think or how to think. It talks about the truth of thought and paints a picture of what we cannot see, yet we are all affected by.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/MUSICby Nancy Stewart of https://nancymusic.com/MigrationOwl SongOats Peas Beans and Barley GrowAUDIO STORIESWalker, Abbie Phillips (1867-1951). “The Peacock Butterflies”. 50 Famous People: A Book of Short Stories.
