Outside the School Box by Chastity Jeff
Education
Last night, at a body butter-making birthday party, I found myself embroiled in a deep discussion on self-care, whichsparked a profound realization. Amidst the chatter of skin care routines and nail appointments, I discovered that my own self-care practice, though devoid of labels, was just as significant as the rest. Walking barefoot, playing in creeks, or simply breathing in fresh air - these seemingly mundane habits, it turns out, are the cornerstones of my self-care journey.
This revelation led me to draw parallels with education, specifically how we assess progress and success in our children. Much like the labels we slap on self-care, we often measure a child's growth through traditional performance indicators. But what about their individual journeys, their unique nuances of growth? It's time we challenged and nurtured our children's growth creatively and flexibly without the constraints of labels. Join me in this transformative episode where we redefine our understanding of self-care and education and champion a distinctively personal and refreshingly label-free approach.
