from The Secret Kindergarten | For Young Children · host Gino Volante
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 62Gino reads a Brothers Grimm story that was removed after the first edition. The Children of Famine is as brutal as it sounds. The kids can handle it though! Children just came back here, they’ve likely been here before.The brothers Grimm were motivated by the belief that a true natural way of living was passed down through story over time. They wanted to preserve folklore to keep an understanding of common sense and living with one another. Gino’s opinion is that Natural Law teachings are found in folklore tales. So, the point is, The Secret Kindergarten is driven to preserve these stories too. If it’s banned, we will use our common sense and decide whether or not to read it. Did you know Dr. Seuss books are being banned? We are winding the clock back.Gino doesn’t precisely know how The Children of Famine is of benefit to young children and families. But it opens the conversation up to realities that are faced by people on earth, and in a way that it is appropriate for young children, through spending time and reading stories. Young children are wise enough to hear about death, destruction and wrong-doing. So we should bring these dynamics into the conversation and be curious about what young children have to say about these things.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/BOOKSZipes, J.
