If our schedules as working professionals are jam packed with to-do work lists and fancy bucket list during holidays. The children are not much behind with their time-tables completely blocked out of freedom of choice. Moreover the, holiday homework casts a spell of sulking splashed across their faces.
In this scenario, 'the streamlining of expectations' for and from children is sought as the best way forward. It just makes things seem so organized and easier. However, the point is by doing so, we are interfering in the following ways:
1. Curbing and obstructing their natural growth patterns both physically and cognitively.
2. Build automatic reflexes and reactive systems with defined tendencies instead of natural intrinsic and proactive brain and body functioning.
3. Knowingly or unwary, adopting a combination of authoritarian and helicopter parenting which will do no good in the dynamics of social relationships, independent mindset, self-esteem and more.
Given the above circumstances, there is an immediate need for children to experience freedom of time to explore and balance their own inner & outer energies to trace their unique path.
Other wise we are just on our way to make robots, clones or surrogates out of human children !!!
Chirp Chatter Cheer is striving to develop a human-centered pedagogy to equip children and youth with emotional intelligence techniques and collaborative shared space experiences to translate their inner stories into action with a deep conscious and sub-conscious freedom of self-exploration.
The art work here is part of this initiative delivered through an "Elemental Lifestyle Workshop" this summer.
