Reggio Emilia is a teaching technique that focuses on listening to the students and honoring each students unique contribution to the world. Knowing and trusting the uniqueness of each student is the foundation of what happens in the classroom. Our stunning unique way in the world, being seen, known by teachers, adults, who listen and see with the eyes and ears of their heart is an incredible way to educate our young people. Having adults trained and focused on helping bring our genius alive is a beautiful way to get us ready for our life as a teenager and Beyond.  

This episode uses the idea of a Rite of Passage into adulthood as a way to explore the skills and abilities that would be wildly helpful to learn as young people.  Skills that would prepare us for Rite of Passage, but more importantly for our lives.  

Here are the skills that will be massively helpful in preparing for the Unknown, the Uncomfortable, and Our Lives:

Treating our Body as a temple. Knowing  how to nourish ourselves, exercise, take care of ourselves. Feel strong, vibrant and capable of self care.  

• Mindfulness - Meditation - being with self. Sitting quietly and not being distracted 
• Connection - to self, others, making friends, connections with humans and the elements of the world 
• Community care - gift giving, the deliciousness of supporting others. 
• Discomfort & adversity
