The Page of Wands reminds us that we can make anything happen by having confidence and enthusiasm. Such a simple message that resonates throughout nature. The cat always lands on his feet, so he engages in all kinds of acrobatic feats. The frog’s giant leap gets him where he wants to go…and he is vocal about it too! The chipmunk lives a solitary life, yet we humans see the chipmunk as a very social animal. We can make anything happen with enthusiasm and confidence. Adult fear takes away confidence and enthusiasm from young children. Fearless care giving of the young is easier said than done, but we must remember that confidence and enthusiasm is inherent in young children, they are full of potential. We must reflect on our behaviour and try to break the cycle of “I cannot” to “I can!”.
In my time of teaching, the confidence and enthusiasm in the kids was a feast or a famine. There were bullies and there were victims. The bullies had the enthusiasm and confidence and it was being taken from the victims. The Natural Law principle of self-defence is a principle for a reason. It is a foundational quality that must be placed to create the man or the woman. We must instill confidence and enthusiasm in our young children in a way that doesn’t encourage them to dominate others. They are special and unique, and that is what makes them equal to others. Therefore, they shouldn’t try and take that specialness away from one another. If someone tries to take that away from them, then it should be protected with confidence and enthusiasm!
As the goalposts of “normal behaviour” move ever-closer to narcissism, psychopathy and machiavellianism… it is crucial that the freedom-minded adults encourage and support young children to develop their confidence and enthusiasm. Show them how to be fearless by refusing to be afraid of what might happen to them.
