The child, the parent and the artist

Many children do not get the concept that their home is their primary place of work. They have the opportunity to make it grandiose through their art, their craftiness, the full expression of their boredom.

The three boys in my house complain.

A: Why can't I play on the computer?
M: Baba bobo bibi, Can I have an ice-cream?
I: Why don't you have a TV? 

Marle: Outside Boys! A, can you please paint this pallet? M, can you please fill those pots with stones? I, can you please fill those pot with soil and plants?

Here it is, a beautiful flower pots holder. 

Many parents forget that their children are a tool to be sharpened. The home is the workshop/stage for transformation. Be the artist, direct them!

Get crafting!

Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

Kidnapper?

A kidnapper is a person who abducts someone and holds them captive, typically to obtain a ransom. There are many kidnappers in one life. Those who love you may be you holding you captive until all is gone. Your work is too taking away your childhood dream so you can keep running on the treadmill. A tree is too, it gives you air. Cut it, you may die. Find and name your kidnapper and weight whether you shall escape or stay. Remember though as you live one another emerge because the definition of yourself does not exist, you are dependent on others and the environment you are in.
