๐ Do you know Conscious Kidsโ Rule #1?
Many of you that have sent your children to Conscious Kids over these last 7 years know our most important and unshakeable rule - HAVE FUN! If children break any of the other 4 Conscious Kids rules (as our poster), they will consequently break rule # 1.
Our Conscious Kids rules are not only applied in our Programmes, but they are also intrinsic to how we work as a team and relate as human beings.
A few days ago I watched this great Ted Talk from Catherine Price about the importance of adding FUN moments to our days and prioritising FUN in our lives.
She is one of ours!
As the week starts, we invite you to watch this TedTalk and rethink your concept of having FUN. www.ted.com......
Catherine says, (and we experience and share):
๐ True Fun = Playfulness + Connection + Flow
๐ Fun is a feeling, and it's not an activity
๐ It's not just for kids
๐ Fun is the secret to feeling alive
๐ True fun produces this visceral sense of lightness and joy
๐ Fun unites us.
๐ Fun also makes us healthier.
At our programmes children are given the opportunity to FLOW (time + space + freedom), to be PLAYFUL (unstructured and child-led play) and to CONNECT (with themselves, others, and the natural environment) = REAL FUN!
