If you can hand somebody the key to their own power,if you can do that and open a door for someone at a crucial moment, you are educating them in the best sense.You're teaching them to open doors for themselves. In fact, the exact meaning of the word educate comes from the root word "educe." It means, to bring forth what is within, to bring out potential.
The former becomes paramount if, as in my case, you have children that suffers ADHD. In this case is utmost treating the wholeness of a person, by not acknowledging their potency, we are creating another ill. So we need to see through the ADHD and into the range of human capability. All ADHD really need is one person to show her the epiphany of her own power.
If we can bolster a human spirit to keep hope, to see beauty in themselves and others, to be curious and imaginative, then we are truly using our power well. When a spirit has those qualities, we are able to create new realities and new ways of being.
