    "And those beautiful daisy flowers which go to sleep when the sun goes down, are like babies with their eyes shut, gone to sleep too. In the morning the daisies will open their petals out again, as soon as the sun gets up to call them and the babies will open their eyes too, and be very lively, and make sure you play with the babies! Perhaps, when our eyes are shut too, the little fairies who live with the flowers will join hands and dance and dance. The moonlight always makes them want to dance. Let us go to sleep, and then we shall slip away from our bodies and we can run out and join hands with them, and dance and dance too. And we can catch all the lovely thoughts which are like flowers in God's other house, and take them to the people who would like to have them."

    The Boy and The Broom

    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 70"The Story of The Broom" teaches young children about the Natural Law Principle of Vibration. We are all connected and we have a resonant rippling effect on all things we do and how we do them. Adults' patience is put to the test when they engage in activities with young children. It is the challenge with a reward to unlocking higher powers.Here is an activity for you grown-ups to do with young children at the beach or the river… wherever there is sand. This activity is taken from the book Trails, Tails & Tidepools in Pails:Sand SlidesMaterials Required:Sand3x5 index cardsClear tapeMagnifierScissors or hole punchCreate a Sand Scan Slide:• Punch or cut out several small holes in a 3x5 index card. • Cover the underside of each hole with clear sticky tape.• Press your "slide" into the sand, sticky side down, to pick up several small patches of sand. • Hold a magnifying glass close to your slide, and watch the sand become bigger. • Notice that sand is made up of millions of sand grains which are teeny tiny bits of rock. Sometimes bits of shell from sea animals are mixed in with the sand grains • How many colours and shapes can you find in the sand grains? • Close your eyes and picture each grain of sand being at one time part of a huge rock or mountain.

  • The Angels Help us to Grow

    The Angels Help us to Grow
    May 5 2024
    The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 69My journey began when I decided to throw myself into the world of young children in the preschool environment. It was a place I could use my patience, and grow it. I started to get synchronicities. I didn't dive too deep into the meanings… I took them as a pat-on-the-back from God. I learned that my intuition was growing from my time "suffering" the children. I learned about animal spirit guides and started to learn about the meaning of the animal synchronicities I was receiving (because kids are surrounded by animal symbolism). I learned that this connection extended to plants and all things in nature. I received a gift from someone who looked after our cat while we were away. It was a pendulum. "This is going too far", I thought. The cat-sitter, who became our friend, persisted. "Have you tried using it yet?". I politely delayed and delayed, making excuses for not being crazy enough to take answers from a stone on a chain! When I eventually tried it, I was fascinated and I have watched the pendulum swing from my hands, for a time, every day since. The pendulum led me to asking direct questions about who I am connecting with. The pendulum led me to learning about the fairies and also the angels. I struggled to understand how they could co-exist. Am I Pagan or am I Christian? Is it one or the other, or can it be all things at once? I let sleeping dogs lie, and kept on keeping on. My dowsing and intuition helped me reflect and make the right decisions. It got me started with The Secret Kindergarten. In researching for resources for the show, I discovered books from the Theosophical Society for the education of children. They talk about the fairies and the angels. the same fairies and angels I discovered from working with young children. This episode features more content from the Theosophical Society, because my experience in the past proves what they are saying is true and right for the young children. At least, those involved in creating the material had their heart and experience in the same place as myself. The angels do help us to grow if we are trying to do good in the world. I learned this over time while teaching, without giving it too much thought. And now I discovered a story, saying the same thing, from the book, Theosophy for Very Little Children.The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.https://thesecretkindergarten.com/MUSIC by Nancy Stewart of https://nancymusic.com/Pretty Baby You're Surrounded in LoveThe Farmers Apple TreeWhen The Pretty Flowers GrowAUDIO STORIESThe Rat and The Elephant.
