Hello Everyone!
Welcome to our second segment on Education, this week 😊
In today's discussion, we're talking about how valuing one's sense of individuality, also translates as being a healthy revolt against conformist ideals. While we love to celebrate someone living in their truth and authenticity, it seems an impossible feat to integrate into our own lives. All of us face varying degrees of social, cultural and traditional norms, that create pressure to conform - at the expense of our sense of self.
Embracing individuality is education that starts at home, providing each child with the critical thinking and communication to preserve self, in the face of pressure to conform. Lets collectively opt out of following rules of engagement that pressure us to erase, or to hide, aspects of who we are. Let's empower one another to use our voice and embrace our sense of self.
Do you have any questions regarding our resilience-building, parent-child workshops?
