Here’s a posting from the ‘Race to Nowhere’ Facebook site today:
“This week I was struck by a comment at a faculty in-service day recognizing the packed schedule left little time for reflection and processing. This is our kids experience every day, and they come home to more work. Do our young people have adequate time to process what they are learning each day?”
Yes!! Such a relevant point. Adding a portion of time in any cycle, (even life?), for reflection and processing is SO important. This is a recurring theme in Six Seconds trainings, especially the courses where the cycle of change is the main focus. How do we make change or forward progress if we don’t build in the time to process our previous experiences? How can we ask our kids to keep going and make good choices and judgments without this same reflective period? In what ways are we selling ourselves short by not valuing that portion of the process?
