Rays Haven’s Post

The following article is a re-print from our archives, originally published on Jun 15, 2012, written by a THE SPARK of Le Flambeau alumni member – Hernice Exare. At the time Hernice was learning English – he excelled and completed this article as it is (unedited), in English. "I start my perspective today with this little phrase: “No one is good citizenship, if it is not a good father”, to tell you that I see the paternity or the quality of a father as an important and highly influential factor in the functioning of a society. We all know that the family is a small group which consists of the father, the mother and their children. In this small society, I see the father as being the leading senior and responsible and concerned"... about his family despite the circumstances of life, and to guarantee and ensure the vitality and spiritual, moral, physical, educational, social and cultural development of his children and his entire family. I see in the fatherhood the quality to be a friend, a guide, a compass with the slightest movement, gesture, effects or action; influencing greatly the life and the fate of each child – because man is a being of relationship and relationships."...to read more click here https://lnkd.in/enk_5H85 #haiti #fatherhood #youtheducation #education #englishlearning

"Children’s Ground was developed because there wasn’t any language and culture happening in schools anymore… [Now] we are teaching language and culture side by side with Western, but it’s just as important if not more. And to be strong in Western, you’ve got to be strong in your culture and language." - First Nations family/staff member, 2023. The Children’s Ground Approach is a unique and radical 25-year strategy focusing on lasting change. It starts with children pre-birth to eight years and grows with them and their families through to adulthood. We are leading our way, and it is working.

🌍 World Children’s Day 2024: Modeling Empathy, Respect, and Integrity We honor the #Rights of the #Child by reflecting on how we shape the world they grow up in and our profound responsibility as adults to guide them toward becoming compassionate, trustworthy, and confident individuals. Children learn not just from what we say but from how we act. We show the value of relationships built on #kindness and #trust by modeling #respect, #empathy, and #integrity every day. Through peaceful conflict resolution, we teach the power of #dialogue over aggression. And by treating others with #fairness, we demonstrate that #honesty and #loyalty are the foundations of strong communities. When we model these values, we equip the next generation with the tools to build a more just and #peaceful world. 🕊 Do you instill these principles in your daily life? 🌈 #WorldChildrensDay #ChildrensRights #Empathy #Respect #PeacefulConflictResolution #TrustAndIntegrity #EducationMatters #Montessori #ReggioEmilia

What a wise thought, social skills at its best.

On tomorrow's International Children's Day, let's learn from the little ones. They stand up when they fall. They try again when they fail. Let's take off our adult glasses and return to where we once started: the firm inner belief that we can achieve anything 🧑🚀🚀 Who is your role model? 📸 Credits: Pexels / Amina Filkins #mindsetchange #modernworkplace #myovb #internationalchildrensday

It is impossible to engage our culture at any level and not hear their language, including curse words. Whether it is social media, a television show, or a stroll in the park, our culture’s words do not discriminate or care about our worldview. Because of the unending assault of their language upon us, the questions every caring parent must answer are: Who is going to teach their child the culture’s language, and when is the proper time to do it? https://lnkd.in/eNQ2SGJj #language #communication #lifeovercoffee #rickthomas #biblicalcounseling #parenting #children #parentingadvice
