Recently on my seven-city cross-Canada seminar tour I was asked
by my Calgary sponsor if I would speak to her group, her son's group.
I said yes. What I didn't know was her son's group was a group of
10-year-olds in a grade three class in Alberta.
On the way to the school I designed my presentation. Given this
was the first time I had taught Law of Attraction to non-adults,
part of my NLP training (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), told me
I needed to talk to the children at their level, make it fun, and
get them to participate.
When teaching adults I use words like manifestation; vibrations;
synchronicity; serendipity; and coincidence. So what words could
I use that children would relate too? I decided to open up a conversation
about vibes. What did that word mean and what were some examples
of it?
Next, I drew a picture of a light switch on the blackboard showing
the on and off positions. "On" meant you were negative
and "off" meant you weren't. After having the students
agree it was better to be positive than negative, I asked if they
wanted to learn how to turn off a negative vibe. They all excitedly
said yes.
I asked them to write these three words in their notebooks: don't
not and no, and asked for examples for when these words were used
in their lives. You can bet they had quite a list to give me. Here
are some examples:
The students quickly waved their hands in the air. These were some
examples I heard:
(a) Don't be late.
(b) Don't get your clothes dirty.
(c) Don't beat up your brother/sister.
(d) Don't talk with your mouth full.
(e) Don't spill your milk.
(f) Don't cry.
(g) Don't play ball in the house.
(h) Don't eat or drink at the computer.
Next I taught them a "secret". They loved knowing I was
going to give them a secret. It was my strategy to give them a secret
so they would treat it as something special and really want to remember
it. I told them it was a secret that even their parents might not
know and with this secret they could help change negative vibrations
to positive ones.
The students learned that the secret to switching their vibes is
when you hear yourself say or think the words don't, not and no,
simply say "So, what do I want?" Of course, they eagerly
wrote down the answer to the secret.
They got it -- and fast! I knew they'd be going home eagerly wanting
to connect this message with their parents. So again I reminded
them they had a secret and to be gentle telling others about it.
This way the next time their parents said don't, not and no, the
kids could say "So, what do you want?"
When the school day ended, the teacher who was also present for
my presentation, made one last comment to his departing class as
he's been doing every Friday -- "DON'T FORGET YOUR HOMEWORK".
The kids had a lot of fun with this. They quickly asked the teacher
"So, what do you want?", and of course he said "Remember
your homework."
For me this experience was very valuable. Many people have asked
me to teach or write about Law of Attraction for teenagers or children
and I've always given the same answer. I don't know how to because
I don't have any children. Yet I learned that young people can pick
it up very quickly. Thanks to Cheryl for trusting me to teach Law
of Attraction to her 10-year-old son and his classmates.
