Btw I agree whole heartedly about the children and elderly. I made the most wonderful birthday card for my 94 year old mother-in-law it was like a magazine cover photos of when she looked like a glamour model and I had quotes from my grandchildren, her great grandchildren written on it - one by my 4 year old said when asked who is his great-nana like. 'Great-nana is like the Queen because she has got white hair like her and she always sits on her big chair like her.' haha
It always brings me back to the point, I don't blame them, they only know what they hear, see and are taught at schools. Most of their parents were the same. Broken homes etc., I think that if they were given an alternative, away from the constant loud noises surrounding them they would respond. I have a friend in South Africa, he runs a 'bush survival' course. Young kids that have gone astray can be recommended his course as a way of getting on the right side again. He takes them on a survival week or 2 not sure, but he is a compassionate Christian and they have talks about self worth and building the child up for a better future. He has stayed in contact with 100s of them, they write and contact him for years after. He is a real Crocodile Dundee haha. He has his own loving family too.
So guess what I am saying really is most will not think the way they do if they have an alternative choice. - I think, if you feel capable to do it, you should home school. Forest Schools are beginning to take off here in the UK its brilliant to get the children back to nature and appreciate what God has made for them to enjoy.
As in the words of Polly, I am going to stop talking now. Been on here too long I need to do something else today haha. Lovely chatting and getting to hear all the views and visions. I just pray that these hopes and dreams become a reality in the not too distant future. :)
Is this what you are talking about with the Tiny House Cities that you talk about? https://www.thespruce.com/livable-tiny-house-communities-3984833
