How the mind layer works.

“Once a little boy went to school.

One morning The teacher said: "Today we are going to make a picture."

"Good!" thought the little boy. He liked to make all kinds; Lions and tigers, Chickens and cows, Trains and boats; And he took out his box of crayons And began to draw.

But the teacher said, "Wait!" "It is not time to begin!" And she waited until everyone looked ready. "Now," said the teacher, "We are going to make flowers."

"Good!" thought the little boy, He liked to make beautiful ones With his pink and orange and blue crayons.

But the teacher said "Wait!" "And I will show you how." And it was red, with a green stem. "There," said the teacher, "Now you may begin."

The little boy looked at his teacher's flower Then he looked at his own flower. He liked his flower better than the teacher's But he did not say this. He just turned his paper over, And made a flower like the teacher's. It was red, with a green stem.

On another day The teacher said: "Today we are going to make something with clay."

"Good!" thought the little boy; He liked clay. He could make all kinds of things with clay: Snakes and snowmen, Elephants and mice, Cars and trucks And he began to pull and pinch His ball of clay.

But the teacher said, "Wait!" "It is not time to begin!" And she waited until everyone looked ready. "Now," said the teacher, "We are going to make a dish."

"Good!" thought the little boy, He liked to make dishes. And he began to make some That were all shapes and sizes. But the teacher said "Wait!" "And I will show you how." And she showed everyone how to make One deep dish. "There," said the teacher, "Now you may begin."

The little boy looked at the teacher's dish; Then he looked at his own. He liked his better than the teacher's But he did not say this. He just rolled his clay into a big ball again And made a dish like the teacher's. It was a deep dish.

And pretty soon The little boy learned to wait, And to watch And to make things just like the teacher. And pretty soon He didn't make things of his own anymore.

Then it happened That the little boy and his family Moved to another house, In another city, And the little boy Had to go to another school.

The teacher said: "Today we are going to make a picture." "Good!" thought the little boy. And he waited for the teacher To tell what to do.

the teacher didn't say anything. She just walked around the room. When she came to the little boy She asked, "Don't you want to make a picture?" "Yes," said the little boy. "What are we going to make?" "I don't know until you make it," said the teacher.

"How shall I make it?" asked the little boy. "Why, anyway you like," said the teacher. "And any color?" asked the little boy. "Any color," said the teacher.

And he began to make a red flower with a green stem. “

This piece of writing is awakening that children will interact with all kind of people including parents those who do wrong unknowingly. Our responsibility to help child to believe in self, everyday parents should sit with children, talk to them, help them understand right and wrong, help them understand what is good with them, nurture it. what is weakness in them learn to overcome it. Help them watch their thoughts and feelings. appreciate their introspect. remind their Goal to be a good person and only good habits will lead them there. Introspect is very good habit to heal heart. 

I tell to my kids quite often:

You get strength if you have faith.

You get pain if you hold past.

You get frustration/anger if you try and control others.

You feel irritation if you try and judge others.

You feel eternal happy if you practice gratitude.

You feel relax if you forgive others.

You get tears if you feel helpless.

You feel unhappy if you blame others.

Universal Power is in sync with every soul on this planet. (every single life including tiny creature).
Every single action will have a reaction. we need to learn how to respond. Our kids are observing us and learning how to respond. even for the same incident as above, kid can be more creative if right thought patterns are being set in his brain cells.
