Positive - Negative
It is so difficult to make adults understand things - and even if they understand they just don’t remember most of the time because their brains have become “set” with the ideas and the programming of years. With children it’s just the opposite.
I taught Adi a more advanced form of the “Law of Attraction” now that he can understand more. I taught him that the people who become tremendously successful in life are the ones who are positive minded all the time. They attract positive in their lives.
“That boy fights with me in school and I complained to the teacher” was a sure negative that was not confusing for him. But “Nobody fights with me in school” is also negative - this took 2 minutes extra to get absorbed the first time around. And then pat came the reply “because it also has fight in it”.
“I will not skate fast because I might fall and get hurt” was a clear negative but “I will skate fast and I will not fall” was also negative. And he understood very quickly that we are still talking and thinking about “falling” only.
And he could quickly rephrase both sentences to “Everybody in my school is friends with me and I enjoy with them” and “I will skate fast and fast and fast and I really love it”. Wow!!!!
In the midst of a sentence he will stop and say “oh...no....N..e..g..a..t..ive” he will catch himself...what a joy to know that his software will always work the right way.
