    Old Rinkrank | Radio Show for Kids
    Sep 16 2024
    Self-defence requires self-esteem. Self-esteem comes from kindness. The King's daughter, held captive by old man Rinkrank, was forced to care for him as a cook and housemaid. The only was out was to fight in an act of self-defence. How did her self-esteem build in such a horrid situation. She was captured for years! Her acts of kindness must have been reminding her of her good nature, and highlighting the wrong-doing of the recipient of such kindness. This all built up until she couldn't take it anymore. There are situations in life where we must stick up for ourselves. We must encourage kindness in the children and support them and encourage them to stand up for themselves.

  • Watch Out For Seagulls! (SKR 99)

    Watch Out For Seagulls! (SKR 99)
    Aug 25 2024
    Visualisation exercises are beneficial for young children, as much as they are for adults. It counteracts the diminishing effect, of the T.V., on the imagination. What symbols and archetypes bubble up in the imagination of a young child engaged in imagination exercises? Whatever the picture paints, there are messages in there for the adults who are willing to participate in these exercises with young children.

  • Maya The Bee - The Last Chapter (SKR 98)

    Maya The Bee - The Last Chapter (SKR 98)
    Aug 23 2024
    Waldemar Bonsels wanted to teach children to: respect all living beings; be courageous; be adventurous; be open-minded; acknowledge life and death and think positively. As the author of "The Adventures of Maya The Bee", he managed to convey these teachings through the journey of the little bee, Maya. For someone who, paradoxically, got swept up in the antisemitic fervour of Nazi Germany, Waldemar Bonsells was a "Neo-Romantic Natural Mystic" who did a pretty good job of creating the greatest children's fairy tale of the 19th century.

  • Is a Hedgehog Faster Than a Hare? (SKR 97)

    Is a Hedgehog Faster Than a Hare? (SKR 97)
    Aug 22 2024
    "The Hare and The Hedgehog" is another deadly fable from the collection of The Brothers Grimm. The deeper experience in this story has the hare symbolising unexpected events or situations causing change. The hedgehog symbolises self-trust, self-honour and taking action on your gut feeling. The hedgehog defended his honour in a creative way that worked and ended his bothersome encounter with the hare. The message, boiled down to first principles, is that you should take action and trust yourself when you are faced with happenings outside of your control.
