How to RAISE HEALTHY CHILDREN...A RADICAL APPROACH

This article holds the key to happy and healthy children. Some of these ideas may seem radical to some, but all of them lead to purely joyful kids.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• children
• craft supplies
• spiritual books
• hiking shoes
• homeschooling materials
• vegetables and fruits

1. Step 1 to radically happy children is to take them out of a regular school and homeschool them yourself. The school system as it is set up today is a concoction of media brainwashing, crowd control, catering to the lowest denominator, and preparing your child for a life of industrial servitude. A kid prison. The food is horrible and basically junk food, the teachers are unable to meet the needs of so many children's individual needs, and the entire set-up is nothing more than a factory model for children.
   
   There is a choice...homeschool your kids! you can cater to your own child's learning style, they no longer will need to wait for the teacher to get everyone's attention (which takes up a huge part of the school day), and you can have total control over the content that your children are learning. They can play outside more, take more field trips, and be involved in more science experiments. They will be happier and will learn a LOT more.
2. Step 2 to radically happy children is to eliminate television...not just reduce but ELIMINATE the t.v. for good! Television feeds our children with nothing but inappropriate images, unhappy marriages, murders and violent acts, children talking to their elders rudely, and other children dressed like hookers. It is really scary what the media is feeding our children. None of it is healthy, not even PBS. Shows as innocent seeming as Barney are really geared towards pulling children away from their mothers and pushed towards a child care setting. This is not the natural order of things. The television wants your children, the only real way to solve this is to eliminate the t.v. altogether.
   
   Instead of watching t.v., take your children outdoors. They will learn more and better from watching a turtle or a butterfly than any thing they could ever see on television. take them outside as much as possible. Let them feel the earth beneath the feet and the wind in their hair. Let them breath in the fresh air and get dirt under their fingernails.
3. Step 3 to having radically happy children is to take time to teach them the home arts. Sewing, cooking, baking, and creating things for the home not only teaches them creative skills, but it teaches your children to tend and care for the home and hearth. It is vital that children know that the home is an important place and that it needs to be cared for.
   
   Also, the quality time you spend with your children baking and cooking will stay with them for a lifetime. It is hands-on learning at its best!
4. Step 4 to radically happy children is to feed them a super healthy diet. Get rid of packaged foods and junk foods, and instead feed your children a diet of fruits, vegetables, and healthy grains. The nutrients will make them calmer, stronger, and happier.
5. Step 5 to having radically happy children is to teach them how to pray and meditate. Give them the gift of a spiritual life. Teaching your children to have a reverence for life, a connection to spirit, and a devotion to faith and family will serves them well their entire lives and will allow them to see the beauty of true happiness. It will teach them the difference between what is real and important and what is not. It is a real gift of love.
