LESSON 11: Healing Information

A few years ago I was invited to conduct a Breakout Session at a National Assembly for
the Women’s Federation for World Peace in Washington, D.C. I was asked to provide the
most healing information I could, to help heal the relationship between parents and their
children. This lesson and the next contain that information. Knowing this information
makes learning and using the 1 Rule your next logical choice.

Kids’ Work

First, do you realize that children have a very important job to do, as important as any job
on earth? It’s their job to create an adult, the adult they become. And one of our jobs is to
help them do this, and hopefully do an excellent job of it. The 1 Rule is created to help
this happen. It is distilled from over 47 years of focused attention, observation,
experimenting, inspiration and caring. That’s why experiencing, understanding, and using
the 1 Rule is so important. It not only makes your child’s job much easier, but it makes
your job, as a parent, easier, too.

Developmental Blueprint

The second point concerns your child’s developmental blueprint. It is suggested that this
is in our DNA. When a child exercises the necessary muscles and develops the
necessary coordination to begin walking, this is evidence of the developmental blueprint
which dictates how to accomplish this.

Can you imagine creating the training schedule? Are you equipped to do that? Also, how
could you provide the baby with the motivation? Think of all the skills and the
perseverance it takes to develop from being unable to move much to being able to stand
erect and to walk.

Imagine all that an infant must learn and develop in their first three years of life. How is it
that all the coordination necessary to speak comes about? Within three years a child
develops from no known spoken language to a basic knowledge of the language or
languages in their environment complete with fairly accurate pronunciation and great
understanding.

It is not the parent who makes sure the baby discovers how to make the sounds of their
language and then practices them, and yet the baby, on their own, practices enough to
be able to speak the language by about three years of age, if not much sooner.

Something motivates human beings to master the necessary complex coordinated
actions, whether the parent pays attention or not. This developmental blueprint with its
inner motivation ensures that a child masters certain abilities.

A child must do what the blueprint dictates. Keep this in mind.

1. Have you ever thought about kids’ work this way before? If so, what did you think?
2. What role do you think their parents play? What do you think would be helpful?
3. Did you realize that kids must do what their blueprint dictates? What are the thoughts
you have about this?
