Episode Transcript:
One of the basic tenets of systems theory is that every human being has equal value. Now, I didn't see equal power. I didn't see equal control. But every human being has equal value. Now, I want to say something to you that you intrinsically know but may not have thought about. Children feel every emotion that we feel. All of them.
You name your emotion. Children feel them. Children feel every emotion we feel. With one half the tools to face them. So I want you to think about yourself. Do you feel angry? Sometimes, which comes from pain, fear and frustration? Well, of course you do. Look at your anger tool kit and empty it out by half. That's what a kid has.
You feel hurt? Sometimes frustrated, sometimes. Empty your tool bag and half. That's where a kid is. All of the emotions you feel all the way from sexuality on. Children feel them, but they don't have the tools that you have. So what we have to learn to do is help them and train them and teach them and give them skills and devices and techniques in order to handle their emotions, realizing that they are just as valuable as we are.
And in most cases, they don't have the power that we have. So help them train them. Equal value blessings.
