Wouldn't it be wonderful if these ten principles were taught from 2nd grade up! And teachers had kids practice these principles to one another daily, and throughout the school year! How much of what we were taught in school really impacted our lives later? Also, each year the mantra every morning should be Eleanor Roosevelt's famous quotes of which there were many. "no one can make you feel inferior without you giving them permission."I learned it in my 60's. Boy, if it had been taught me as a youngster/teen/young adult.And Ah yes, touch. Our family dr. years ago whether in office or house call would provide a warm squeeze on a shoulder, a knee or tweek my toes. His mere presence was soothing but the touch was magical. Bucket seats in cars/ couches that recline individually, separate cell phones, tech devices, all seem a conspiracy to phase out true closeness, warmth, support, love.
