Proposing an educational task force to implement curriculum; coaching emotional intelligence, civility, and coping skills in grades k-12.
Television content and absent parenting have precipitated a new culture of promoted distortions in our personal and public narratives.
(Think “my strange addiction” vs “the andy griffith show”)
These distortions in thought have led to an increase in voilence, drug use, disease, depression, entitlement, and many other negative results.
Americans now lack the tools to address misfortune. Ask yourself how the current average american may handle:
Verbal abuse
A spouse leaving or cheating
A child that cries
Employment termination
A slight in traffic
Parental rejection
Many stimli can turn an uneducated american towards drugs, anger, violence, stress, or anxiety.
Having this course would empower our next generations to gain strength, focus, and ability. Ultimately, quickly, it will reduce crime, healthcare costs, division, divorce, disease (including anxiety and depression) and many other areas.
Healthy thoughts would lead to heathy actions, and role models have been fewer and fewer.
If the reader takes time to reflect or reseach this idea, it will become clear how disease, crime, personal suffering, abuse and many other areas would be significantly reduced.
To me this is the cheapest, most effective, and heathiest solution to most of todays issues.
Provide our children the missing tools to cope with life’s inevitable challenges.
