Why values are so important in Kids Life Coaching

Uncategorized May 21, 2023

TRIGGER ALERT

Recently, I saw a political campaign in England that spoke about a certain leader allowing child sexual abusers to walk free. I was disgusted and appalled at the audacity of using such below the belt tactics to gain leverage in a political race...This prompted me to write this blog which is probably going to be more of a vent and a huge big punt for good old fashioned values...here goes: 

"I have lived in and contributed to the UK for 8 years. I became a British citizen after LOTS of money invested into the National Health Service, doing an English test and passing a life in the UK test. I have towed the line. Contributed to taxes and paid my dues.  

I see myself as a contributing member of society. I am proud and grateful to live in a country that offers me opportunities that my country of birth cannot match. Those that know me well rarely hear me complaining about South Africa (where my family lives) or England (where I now live) because I choose to see the good rather than be negative as hard as it sometimes is.  

As a rule....

🙌I don’t usually talk politics

🙌I certainly don’t entertain negative news

🙌And I most certainly don’t see politicians as infallible. They are human just like you and I.

The advert has left me feeling deflated and sad for British children.  This advert is about two sides of one coin. Both sides being uninformed about trauma.  This advert has triggered me…on a deep visceral level and I am feeling disregulated. Despite that I feel confident this too will pass as I have all the resources needed to cope.  BUT what about the person who feels powerless, unheard and disregarded. The victims who are silently suffering with their past trauma and in the past few days being triggered by a political “war” that has paid no need for the real “casualties”….those who have been abused.  

This advert no matter which way you look at it, is a good illustration of a decline in the basic human values of empathy and compassion. Resorting to these tactics to discredit one politician (with everyday citizens already traumatised standing by as collateral damage…) shows neglect for basic human rights.  This doesn't just happen in England, but sadly is prevalent in governments all over the world!

My opinion on prison….is that it is filled with traumatised adults who needed help when they were children but were surpassed because the system overlooked their basic needs. I don’t negate or excuse criminal intent but I believe many reform programmes that have been piloted and shown success are still severely underfunded.  

Tokenism is not an antidote to sustainable long term stability in any country.  

Two sides make one coin so it’s about time the “adult” politicians start to act like adults and work collaboratively for the good of a good nation. A nation of citizens who crave real connection, real stability and the opportunity to nurture their families with the reassurance that they are supported.  

Mental well-being is declining not because of what is wrong with us as humans but because our leaders are destabilising our world despite them creating their self inflated illusion that they bring hope.  

Hope comes from within and if any of us are to get to the end of our race feeling we have accomplished anything, we need to start living according to values that our children can emulate:  

❤️Honesty

❤️Integrity

❤️Respect

❤️Compassion

❤️Optimism

❤️Collaboration  

This is the law and order we need NOT defaming others to gain traction.  I will remain a secret parent role model to children by living these values as best I can. Whilst I am not perfect and I make lots of mistakes (as we all do...) I always try to remain true to the spirit of being human and that is to treat each other with dignity and respect. 

May you join me in stepping behind the good in humanity and embracing the good values that children are needing as you coach them to enjoy our Kids Life Studio® tagline "Where choices are made easy."

Onwards and upwards as we coach children to be the leaders of their own lives when political leaders seem to be letting us down!
