Gino pulls the Eight of Swords from the Tarot deck. The Eight of Swords speaks to the loss of self-esteem which creates distrust in the self. In Gino’s experience, as an early childhood teacher, the loss of self-esteem happens when young children aren’t allowed to act according to our natural rights or live according to Natural Law. One should not do harm to another, the golden rule…… but what happens in the institutions of the young? Rules are set in place to prevent violence. Yet violence does not cut both ways. Someone must instigate the violation/violence, and someone must stop the violence from happening using physical force. In the early childhood institutions a culture of bullying and victimhood is promoted. “Keep your hands to yourself” is the number one early childhood institutional rule bar none. But what if a young child disregards that rule? Does the victim have a right to use his/her hands to defend? In the institutions… no! Because the victims must remain victims and follow the number one early childhood institutional rule! And then the self-esteem begins to drop. This dynamic is the number one motivator for Gino and his work in The Secret Kindergarten. In this episode we explore Swan symbolism and how the Swan represents self-defence!
