Getting Your Child Off The X Box and Into The Game
Jun 30th
Today, I went into Sidleterra, a place of wonder and imagination where children do not just watch an adventure, they live it. On arrival we entered the “Door of Destiny” and were greeted by a loud huzzah! “. Gwen (12 years) said: “It’s like back in history! It’s weird, but a kind totally awesome weird. “In fact, Sidleterra is the Wizards and Warriors Summer Camp sleep there, where children are like the heroes of their own stories. The site is a re-creation of a medieval village, located in Charlton, MA.
It is difficult to find summer or after school activities that children enjoy that do not involve television or video games. Until the Guard family and the school’s fencing sword, Burlington, MA, operates after-school programs, classes, day camps, including Wizards and Warriors. In this challenging environment to children much physical activity, opportunities for social and pleasure, intellectual challenge. Their imagination come to life as they choose to be warriors, sorcerers, healers, and so on and expand the story and characters of their characters. Every part of the camp is designed to meet the individual needs of campers. Those who are fans of combat can bound headlong into battle with foam swords swinging. One camper said: “I prefer to use the mind as a weapon, not the body. “He and his spirit as friends can take a different approach as a healer or scout. There is room for everyone. The motto, “honor, courage and compassion” teaches children to understand that courage is not only with courage to go into combat, but also know when to honor their own feelings.
;
In this context, children develop their leadership skills functioning without even knowing it. In alchemy, for example, they use deductive reasoning Mix ingredients potion. Organization and attentional skills are constantly invoked as they search for clues, solve puzzles, and develop strategies to defeat the monsters and villains. As one parent said, “It promotes the organization, initiation, and communication, all the things we want it to be able to do at school. It teaches critical thinking. Thinking outside the box is promoted and encouraged. “
Participants in mock battles, kids get a cardio workout and improve their balance and coordination. “This is a place to be creative and physical and not need to be competitive,” says the parent of one day campers. At night, they returned exhausted but happy after a full day. This is a huge bonus, as research has shown that the time of excessive television or computer can affect sleep, while physical activity has been shown to improve.
Campers also work on social skills to plan, negotiate, build alliances and mobilize the support of others. Kuberry Morgan, director of day camp, said that many of the goals of the children have nothing to do with martial arts, but are actually more focused on improving social skills. Playing a character gives children the freedom to try new things in a supportive environment.
More importantly, what do children think? All the heroes who I spoke to had similar things to say. When asked what they preferred, most said, “Everything!”
Adam, 13 s cried: “It’s so cool! I love being creative. We even get to make armor!
John , 11, who went in several other camps, says he loves the camp and much of Wizards Warriors. “It’s fantastic. It allows you to use your imagination. Instead of having to sit any the day you get up and running. It’s great! “
Evan, age 9 said:” I love ! It helps me get my energy from. I love being with people who have the same interests as me. I belong here. “
Two sisters girl agrees:” It’s great! “Well, none of them had been to sleep outside the camp, they both quickly fell in love with Wizards and Warriors.
In addition to being fun and exciting there is a deeper layer of benefits that are below the surface. The physical and mental benefits of dramatic play are clearly indicated by more than forty years of research findings.
There are many great forms of physical activity enjoyable. An impressive point Guard Up is that staff are trained in “positive coaching”, the emphasis on winning is secondary to learning life lessons through the activity. At the end of a fight, I I watched a process consultant with the children what they did well and what they can work on others. The children recognized the importance of teamwork and that they would have had more success if they stayed together and communicate.
As an occupational therapist, I am very aware of the power of the activity significant in the physical and mental development. As a mom, it’s a pleasure to watch these children so completely engaging the body and mind. Without a doubt, we are fortunate that such programs are available for our children!

Throughout my life as I’ve seen the wonders of teachers powerful shaman and healer, I was wondering, how do they do? “
” What was the secret of Mr. Rogers? He seemed so calm, retirement, passive, and yet events always went his way to the television station where he produced “Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.” In his presence, restless children and adult beginners guests always seem to know what to do and say without a script or rehearsal. Wild animals acted as if they were performing on some invisible cue. At the station, the curator of the board of directors, management and the crew hesitates studio stubborn miraculously went “against nature” to go with all that bold, visionary schemes Mr. Rogers put forward. “How did he disarm the opposition of the people and bring out the game and spirit of adventure among parents rigid, teachers, staff and representatives of the city? “
The esteemed actress Helen Hayes could express with great clarity with his audience of students and me seven very diverse characters she was portraying on stage, without any discernable difference in the way of dress, gesture, or even made it. “What were his hidden devices? Which keys to successful communication had it under control? “
My mentor macrobiotics, Michio Kushi, could take a very intellectual, spiritual journey in a public dispute deeply personal visions of power, the physical healing and visceral ecstasy. “How did it change the points of view lead-bonded into wisdom-or-alive? What was he doing behind the scenes to catalyze such remarkably strong, cathartic experience in each of the normally insensitive, students do not respond?
I watched with amazement as Medicine Cloud, my boyfriend Hopi medicine, evoked a storm pelting a blue sky to wash the mud from the red clay that sacred ritual had made on me. “Where did the pain and rash go so fast, so well? How could I feel so peaceful so fast when I was so upset and depressed for a year?
“How did St. Germain physically appear at the foot of my bed when the doors of my house and the room were shut tight?” I had to touch her dress each tenth visit to ensure that the Ascended Master standing was solid and substantial. “How did he know my deepest, most secret thoughts that I had never expressed to anyone?” I felt so vulnerable, but safe, so bare, yet open, when he realized his eternal, but wisdom to me. “Why do I feel so calm, clear and courageous in his presence?” The deep sense of connection and vitality absolute stayed with me for his visits. “How was he able to communicate with me without his mouth moving? How did he project scenes of my life on the wall? “
” Why do my friends and I instinctively trust this mysterious professor of the East with our souls? “Muktananda was just a man with dark skin in India that we had never heard before today. Our fears melted our hearts to open with the sound of her laughter. Our inner beauty blossomed with the contact his finger to our foreheads.
Jews by birth, New Yorkers by nature, Lester Levenson looked like a cross between a mischievous sprite 100 years and a noble Indian chief Indian America. He could charm the needles out a porcupine. And it would generate more excitement, strength and insight to me one day that I met at that time in my life. ” What was his magic? “
What are the common underlying dynamic at work here?
” How did all shamans, acupuncturists, rebirthers, Reiki masters and other healers I knew withdraw their miraculous cures? In the aura and the influence of powerful leaders, I witnessed many remarkable turnarounds in peoples’ physical conditions, financial wealth, attitudes, mental and spiritual abilities. All my life, I asked the Spirit the question, “How?”
Go to the source
When I saw my first extraordinary phenomenon in life, I decided to find out what was behind this and other extraordinary events. I concluded that the only way I never really know what was happening was to open at the same level of magic in my own life.
Move out of the box
I quickly realized that to experience more magic in my life, I had to leave the life I live now. I had to move “outside the box.” Act not only think “outside the box. “By definition, miracles occur outside of our usual world.
Ex-perience
All magic occurs beyond the limits of our current belief system. To experience something new, we need ex-perience with reality. “Ex” in Latin means to go outside. “Experience” comes from the same root as “perimeter”, that is, border, border. To revive, he must go beyond the limits of our old box. With this intention and will, anything is possible!
Ask outside the box
For specific suggestions on steps to be taken outside the area, asking a suggestion on the part of your consciousness that is “out of past experience. “If you intend to access this area of your expertise, you can connect with it. It is only a question of what part of your consciousness you ask.
; Again, the intention and will are the key. Point your attention and responsiveness to the appearance of your being, namely, gasoline-, which is independent of past experience. Voila! costs of new answers, options, alternatives, outcomes … miracles!
Our Trusty Intuition
friendship storyAnd what is this part of our consciousness that is free of the past without fear, limitation and programming? Our intuition of course! Intuition, by definition, operates outside of the box. Do whatever you can to develop and nurture your clear connection to your intuition .
Get your old reality
My shaman teachers told me I could not just leave my old box-in the world. Literally out of the box! At first, I certainly do not believe them. Freedom from old patterns and limitations may not be as simple as that. But I did and it worked! No all the time, but he worked with enough reasons to encourage me to practice and improve my skills. Now, with my actions guided by my intuition, I can leave the old limits that have served their purpose and spiritual value.
Note that all of your life events, situations and people, has been secretly structured by your soul to bring you the experience you want to have this life. Approach life as if the whole of creation is conspiring to bring you goodness … because it is!
