Happy Swans
The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 36
Educating Girls Series - Second Installment
Gino pulls the eight of swords from his tarot deck once again! The message being that one should stick up for themselves and stick up for what is right, to prevent the self defeating thoughts and patterns from taking hold.
We introduce some content from H.P. Blavatsky’s “The Eternal Verities, for The Teachers of Children”. According to Gino’s estimation, this book appears to be for slightly older children, 6 years plus. Nevertheless, we want to start exploring the limited esoteric resources for children that are available. We read a story from lesson five in the book. This story is called “How to be Happy”. The story shows that little Helen was happiest at home, helping her mother to make a Sunday dress. The story ends with a question: “Do you know why?”. The answer in the book is ‘Yes, it is the nature of the self to render “Gentle Service”’. The goal of “How to Be Happy” in Blavatsky’s book is to affirm the Theosophical value of a life in service to others. If you play this story to your young child, ask them why! We are genuinely curious as to what their answer may be.
Also, in this episode, the swans return! We play Swan Lake and with our knowledge of Swan Spirit symbolism we see how the feminine aspect of self-defence takes flight in Tchaikovsky’s famous play. The theme of true love is bundled up nicely in this story. Odette, to stick up for herself, needs the love of the prince to break her spell. She is defending herself, while at the same time, the situation has the prince defending true love. All cheesiness aside, the message is about sticking up for what is right and doing the right thing. Odette freed herself and found true love. Even if the true love was imposed by the sorceress, as the neo-feminists claim today, Odette still used her power to get herself into a better situation! This brings us to the activity at the end of the show, “Three Questions”. Questioning young children, in a respectful and playful way, is super-important. We aren’t wanting to paint young children into a corner here. We are wanting to encourage young children to make choice and develop their sense of self so they know that they have power and sovereignty. We want young children to defend themselves when life demands it. They need to know who they are, what they want, and what they like to know these things are worth fighting for.
Martial arts like wing chun and krav maga prove that women can also physically defend themselves against bigger and stronger opponents. Women can do more masculine things to defend themselves too! We can all use all our faculties to defend ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically. A must watch movie about True Care, self-defence, violence and a heroine, is the 1994 film “Wing Chun” directed by Woo-Ping Yuen: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111800/
My niece was being bullied at her daycare. When her dad, my brother, had a conversation with her about it. He let her know that he would support her with doing whatever she thought was right in dealing with the bullying. She chose to pull a scary face and make a loud monster noise when the bully would approach her! The bullying stopped immediately without any physical intervention required! My niece was back to her usual confident self. In fact, her confidence grew, and continues to grow to this day, as she knows it’s okay to stand up for herself with the support of her loving parents.
