1 : PRIME CREED
change what we can’t accept,
accept what we can’t change
2 : METHOD
adapt to survive
(change our position relating to what we can’t change)
3 : EFFECTIVE RESPONSE
Cant get rid of the root cause so easily (eg; children of shared residency affected by toxic exes whose energy affects the kids and ourselves) but we can change our own and our children’s behaviour and attitudes (see 1 & 2) by education toward better ways of understanding and behaving.
4 : CURRENT AFFAIRS
Use current affairs as examples of psychology-sociology-empathy. This has to be done positively with no emotional blackmail to make the children feel bad - we observe and modify behaviour and reaction, not the people.
5 : BEHAVIOURAL TRAITS
In Africa, Japan etc use of Masks and Cosplay for characters; the behavioural traits are assigned to them. Here we have Celtic (European) stories of deities gods and heroes. In India, America etc behaviour is assigned to animals.
Then these traits are explored through Stories, storytelling.
Usually using simple patterns so the children can understand it.
6 : ARCHETYPAL CHARACTERS
What archetypal characters do we have ?
Examples;
Wicked Witch, Monsters,
Tyrants, Tricksters,
Crafters & Specialists,
A Friendly friend, helpful nature spirits, etc
Good Cop Bad Cop (a two headed giant)
Kind old timers,
Demon school teachers,
And always;
Young protagonist of the adventure who is typically lost in a strange place
7 : SOCIAL INTERACTIONS / MOTIVES
It’s all about social interactions
The two main questions:
what motivates each person, and what happened to make them how they are?
(What do they want and how did they get that way?)
(Where they’ve been and where they’re going)
Or simply:
Why is s/he behaving that way?
How to tame that energy by directing it positively (distraction toward productivity) ...
8 : DYNAMIC of THREE (black white red)
That which makes us Fear
That which makes us Safe
That which we Desire so we leave our safety and face fear to acquire it
What we leave behind
What we risk to lose
What we hope to gain
