Description
How can we teach empathy to two 7th-grade boys in a public school, who come from two different mafia cartel families? How can we teach children and teenagers, in a private elementary school, values such as presence, affection, respect, and love, if their parents are neither physically nor emotionally present?
Teachers are burned out, overwhelmed, and loosing authority in the classroom and professional motivation. Administrators trying to keep a balance between the state, families, and institutions.
What is the path to follow? Adults at home, at school, and in society look hopeless.
Violence is at hand, our children have their own gadgets, with their own language and vocabulary to communicate with each other, in their own world.
Wait, stop, let’s breathe, do it again. I may be talking about Mexico, the first place in bullying around the world (UNESCO 2024), but our reality is not far from yours. Here is where I invite you to stop, to breathe, to think about respect, and how we can take small actions, every single day, with my family, neighborhood, community, and my school, to teach respect. How or what are the actions, I or we, should take, to live with kindness and conviction that we need to build a better world?
This is a big effort we should make, I would like to touch your heart, deep down, so that each one of us can make a small change that contributes to the future of our children and adolescents.
We will not surrender!
