If you’ve just made the decision to home educate your child or if you’re on the fence and are dealing with opposing views from family or friends, remember why you’re at this cross road, why you decided to fly in life this way.
Like the eagle, no flight path is easy, but the one that holds the reason you chose it because it’s what your heart and gut said is important, is the one you’re meant to be on now…

THE ONLY BIRD THAT DARES TO ATTACK AN EAGLE IS A CROW, BUT THE EAGLE NEVER FIGHTS BACK. HERE IS WHY:
1. The crow is the only bird bold enough to sit on the eagle's back and peck at its neck.
Relentless. Annoying.
But the eagle... stays calm.
2. The eagle doesn't flap. Doesn't fight. Doesn't waste energy. It does one thing: It rises.
3. The higher the eagle soars. The thinner the air becomes. The crow? It can't handle the altitude.
4. Eventually, the crow gasps. Loses strength...And falls off.Not because the eagle attacked
But because the eagle ascended.
5. Let the crows talk. Let them peck. You don't have to respond. Just keep going higher.
6. They can't follow you forever. Your growth will suffocate their noise. So don't engage. Elevate.

What an inspiring leader in the field of life and education. Love his work!
With immense gratitude to you John Marsden! Thank you 🙏❤️

Vale John Marsden, age 74. Writer, educator, deep thinker.

These were his tips...

JOHN MARSDEN’S TIPS FOR PARENTS
1. Give children space. Back off. Let them roam. Let them be bored. Don't over-plan their lives. Cut way back on the after-school activities programs.

2. Keep away from all those ghastly, soulless, sterile playgrounds. Keep away from shopping malls. Look for real places. Wild places.

3. Be an adult. Say no to your children at least once a day. If the role of Adult in your family is vacant, then one of your children will fill it. And it won't be pretty.

4. Don't take up all the space. If you are dominating, loud, forceful, your children are highly likely to become passive, lacking spirit and personality … and/or sullen.

5. Believe about 40 per cent of the dramatic stories your children tell you of the injustices, corruption and satanic practices happening at school.

6. Teach them empathy. For example, after their jubilant victory celebrations when they win a sporting match, remind them that their jubilation was only possible because someone else – the losers – have been made to feel awful.

7. Help them develop language skills. Don't finish their sentences for them. Don't correct them when they mispronounce a word – they'll work it out sooner or later. Ask them open-ended questions, that need a detailed answer, not Yes/No questions.

8. Make sure they have regular jobs/duties at home and that those jobs are done to a consistently high standard.

9. Don't whinge endlessly about the miseries of your adult life. A lot of children now are fearful about growing up because their parents paint such a grim picture of the awfulness ahead.

10. Teach them to be very wary of people who Absolutely Know the Absolute Truth about Absolutely Everything! The colour of truth is always grey. Extreme positions are for the ignorant. Every creature, every person and every situation is complex. The universe is a wonderful mystery.”

🟡 IT’S DYSLEXIA MONTH 🟡

🌟 Raise awareness 🌟

Approximately 20% of our population is dyslexic.
Many visionaries, entrepreneurs and organisational leaders are dyslexic.

🟣 What causes dyslexia?

Anatomical and brain imagery studies show differences in the way the brain of a person with dyslexia develops and functions.

🔴 Learning with dyslexia?

Dyslexia is not due to either lack of intelligence or desire to learn. The brain processes information differently, hence with appropriate teaching methods, people with dyslexia can learn successfully.

🟢 Did you know Jamie Oliver is dyslexic, and so are many other entrepreneurs, creatives, organisational leaders.

E-Gen provides in-person and on-line coaching of literacy and numeracy for learners with different-abilities including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia.
