We also have been working with the Head Start Program. The following is an outline of our vision. To reduce the negative impact of our socialization process in our children To empower children, parents and educators to accept responsibility for themselves and their own well being. To reduce the need for external discipline of students at school and at home To increase the level of freedom for personal expression and healthy interpersonal communication. Children haphazardly receive training in the life skill of personal integrity.
Children define themselves by external factors.
Much of the socialization process severely limits self exploration and personal freedom of expression. Be able to acknowledge internal resources and not take things personally. Be able to courageously seek explicit understanding instead of making assumptions. Develop self motivation to always do their best. This is a program designed to increase the integrity of the individual while promoting communication based in integrity among staff, parents and students.
