The best connectivity features we can implant in young people must be fostered when they are 4 years old, but most of what we do disassembles them, and then the travesties of life subsequently, instill ever more disconnectivity. Anything after that early stage is just bandages - - Still, those of you out there working to keep young people as integrated as possible, my hat off to you all. May the universe support your efforts and may young people benefit from your guidance and the investments if your hearts and wisdom.

Yes very true. Unfortunately it is a mission of our society to drive children to mindless conformity. The people who run our society hate children. The people who work in schools hate children and I suspect many parents actually hate children too. Otherwise it would be considered normal to treat them like humans who deserve to be heard and respected.

Naomi, as a survivor of childhood emotional, verbal, and physical abuse, your words hit home. For the past four years, I’ve been on a journey to heal and integrate those wounds, and it’s taken immense willpower, energy, and financial investment—countless hours of therapy and holding space for parts of me I didn’t know how to approach.

What truly made the difference wasn’t punishment, correction, or attempts to change my behavior. It was one person—a coach—who asked questions without expecting answers, who simply stayed with me. They created a space where I could begin to trust again, slowly rebuilding what had been shattered.

Children don’t need more detentions or isolation. They need someone willing to stay, to see them as more than their actions. I know firsthand that healing starts with connection, and I deeply appreciate your call to rethink how we approach these struggles. Thank you for sharing this truth.
