[/caption]One day last summer, when I picked Ben up from the YMCA, he told me that he had meditated during daycamp. Now you all may be thinking that Thom and I taught him how to meditate, but no, he actually learned it, where he gains most of his information, from a movie, in this case, Kung Fu Panda. Later on, I inquired when he had decided to meditate. He said, "During clean up time." I said, "Oh, so what did your teachers say?" He told me they were suggesting he come and help with clean up. He showed Thom and I how he meditated, which was by sitting cross legged with his hands together, saying, "Inner peace" repeatedly. I guess that is one clever, and somewhat peaceful (at least for him) way to get outta clean up time.
I have studied this technique. I have found it to have limited effect when Amy tells me to fold laundry. She is so unspiritual.
ReplyDeleteLOL! It seems that this technique actually has limited success for 5-year-olds too.
