Don't underestimate the Genius Generation!
I have been thinking for some time now about the genius generation. What is the genius generation? Put simply it is the next generation of children and young adults who are emotional intelligence, connected into their own intuitive genius, and connected to each other to bring genius advances to our world and perhaps beyond.
My vision is to
empower parents and their children to lead by their own intuition. We all have it and use it, some just perhaps don’t realise the endless potential of their genius or do not know how to tap into this.
There are many great parenting coaches out there, but few use intuition as their primary tool to coach.
Being a mum of four and mostly boys who are high energy and want to wrestle and test each other frequently, I fall into the pits of parenting - a reflection of my experiences with my parents. Now I’m not saying that I haven’t learned great teaching techniques from own parents, I am saying that there were many decisions I made as a youngster about how the world is. For example, growing up in a time with not a lot of extra cash floating around in the family home, I decided that you must live within your means which resulted in me not asking for what I wanted in life. Which is total crap, now I know there is a more genius way of living.
You may think if she is such a genius, why isn’t she living in a mansion with oodles of money. Well, because it isn’t money that my genius wants to create. That would be a side benefit to help me build on what I want to create. You see my focus is on my end results, not how or what I think I need to get there. That’s where the magic lies. Whether you believe in magic or not, you could agree that where your focus goes your energy flows.
An example.
When you are driving your car and you are focused on the road right in front of you, the car will steer that way ie it will go where you are looking. However, if you are looking outside your window to your right or left, where will the car end up? Just like riding a bike, if you are not focused on where you are heading and are looking all around, what inevitably happens? You fall off your bike or you go on a tangent far from where you wanted to end up.
An example of the Genius Generation thinking.
My twins were telling me about Dream Love. When I asked what was dream love they responded with ‘dream love is when you love something so much its unbearable not to have it. And if you don’t have it you are super sad and don’t want to join in anything anymore’. When I asked them what their dream loves were they responded with ‘you, dad, our whole family. And Minecraft, of course’. And then, one of them said ‘there is also Too Bad Love’. Upon asking this question, one responded with ‘too bad love is when you dream love something but it hurts to love them, like the girl from school’.
Now I know kids say funny things all the time but to see at such a young age (6 years old) their thinking and allusion to two different types of love, one that appears unconditional ie dream love and one that they recognise as dream love but knowing it isn’t good for them, that is profound! And to go that step further and to allude to despondency or perhaps depression - ‘you get super sad and you don’t want to join in anything anymore’ is also genius, mature thinking at such a young age. When you take the time to truly listen to your children, you realise they pick up things far beyond their maturity and understanding.
Imagine what else we could discover when we really listen to our children, and what amazing creations they might make up.
