When they become adults, our children are going to be exactly as strong as we allowed them to be in their early years!
That’s a universal truth!
When we don’t allow them any power at all, helpless is the way they grow up!
Helpless people fight!
That’s all that’s wrong with our world right now!
An increasing number of our young talk about suicide! Why do you suppose that might be?
We raise our children to do as we say! Can they still become strong adults doing that?
Of course not! How could that be possible?
They will become adults, accepting that they must do as they’re told!
Either that, or they will be defiant!
Nature creates the strongest life possible!
It’s fortunate that these make the nicest people possible! There is a reason though. Strong people are undamaged.
Undamaged humans are delightful in every way!
Nature creates strong life by encouraging strength and self-reliance!
All life has self-drive! That’s the gift of life!
The young are supposed to be protected, while they grow through their own resources!
Nature knows what it’s doing!
How do you think a wild creature would manage if it was forced to do everything it was told?
It would become helpless of course!
But were not in the wild are we? We have houses!
Well, creatures in the wild don’t have to face nuclear weapons, dictators, an absence of trust throughout their existence, and high anxiety, while being unable to do a single thing about any of it!
There is even worse! There have always been hostile and destructive people in the world! When we make our children weak, there is nobody left to stand up to them.
That’s our world now!
We have to face a lot in our lives. It would be better if we were allowed to remain strong to do it!
It’s an added bonus that if we all did that, none of these problems would exist in the first place!
PARENTS
We want the best for our kids. We want them to do well!
Our civilization tells us to use what we have learned to give them the best possible chance!
Our civilization has left needs and truth behind!
Inner strength gives them far more than all of our specialized wisdom ever could!
It provides the best possible health! It provides good feelings and compassionate behavior. It provides the strength that we most of us have been without since infancy!
It provides trust, the source of infinite comfort and security!
The wisdom that we give is intended to help survive in this troubled and hostile environment!
Strength is worth infinitely more!
With their original strength intact, they won’t even need any of that wisdom!
Given the choice, no infant in the world is going to choose a helpless existence. Back off, and we will see their power take over. Watch the happiness grow on their faces!
Watch them begin to cope with life as though it were easy!
This is what they were designed for!
Do you want them to have reflexes? Reflexes are impossible if we never got hurt! It’s hurt that causes reflexes.
We may call it play, but to them it’s important survival training. It’s not supposed to be painless. They will dive right in and do it anyway unless we intervene. When we do stop their attempts, they enter life unprepared.
We see children today who simply don’t react to danger! That’s why! They just stand there watching, and then get run over anyway!
Infants and children are supposed to be infinitely more competent than what we see now.
They will be too, if allowed to learn as they were intended to!
The more important consequence though, is the world heals!
People become healthy and trusting. Everybody’s behavior becomes honorable.
Strong people are nice.
Those in power throughout the world would finally get some competition. Strong and honorable competition. Competition they haven’t got any hope at all of competing with.
The world needs strong people, and strong people come from infants and children allowed to keep their own strength.
It’s our own actions keeping everybody too weak to challenge the greedy of this world!
The weak are troubled! They create chaos and a troubled civilization! They cannot stand up to the destructive of this world.
The strong are compassionate! They are playful! They are cooperative!
Our world can return to the way it’s supposed to be, if we can allow our youngest to keep their natural power.
They were born with it! They need it!
More importantly, we all need them to have it, if our world is to be a kind one!
As a bonus, parenting becomes fun and easy with stronger kids!
