Children. Kids. Angels, every one of them. Our little bundles of joy. Pure as the driven snow. Full of life, and life's potential.

So, look. Those little brats may be God's gift, but they didn't show up ready to go. They gotta learn some things. Education. How to live in the world. Big subject. I do have something to share about that. Parenting ... that too. Per Joseph Chilton Pearce, "If you want your children to be the way you want them to be, you be the way you want them to be". But not chapter and verse, just the central, core stuff. On parenting, that's all what's gonna be said. On knowing how to work the world ... there's one point not to miss.

So ... pay attention!

We all live under the influence of the Force of Gravity. No exceptions. Born that way. Nothing new about that.

Yet ...

On account of Gravity being so constant, ever-present, and everywhere we don't notice it, as such. Like, ask a fish, "How's the water?" ... those buggers would be clueless. Never mind that fish can't talk; or understand English. That is, as far as we know. Maybe they have their own language and us Humans aren't in on it. 

Anyway ...

Gravity has its effects. It pulls you down. It also lifts you up. Did you know that second one? "Centrifugal" it's called ... "moving away from the center". The all too familiar "pulling down" part, that's called "Centripetal".

We know lots and lots about Gravity. Intellectually, mathematically, practically, and personally. As very young children we learn to stack blocks; what it takes to get them to stay one on top of the other. Who hasn't stacked blocks up to as high as possible before they all come tumbling down? This is preverbal stuff. On the other side of the smart spectrum, there's that we have figured out how to send rockets to the Moon — toward our  dastardly enemies too. On an everyday level, we know when the picture on the wall is off kilter; or, if we drop Mama's prize thin porcelain tea cup it's gonna fall down and most likely break. All practical, useful knowledge. And, tuck that pinky in whilst consuming said tea beverage. Kapische?

But, what do we know of Gravity itself, that is how it works on our physical body? Not like a tight rope walker. That's outer stuff. Like fish know about water. Well, not that they notice. But, when they jump into air out of the drink, you can be they feel the difference.

So, then ... feeling Gravity. And ... kids.

Indispensable but often overlooked life lessons ...

We all want our children to have the best in life; early on, in their education. Yet, we don’t pay much, if any, attention to a set of life lessons that will affect them throughout their lives. Learning how to deal with the physical world, particularly the constraints of the force of Gravity.

As infants we learn to sit up. To crawl, to climb, to walk, to run. The important point in this is in that area of basic life skills we are mostly self-taught. To some extent that’s as it should be. But that’s not the whole picture. Some of the individual patterns we’ve developed may be inefficient and limiting. [Just look at how we all have the same parts, yet how differently we use them.] 

We grow up with an individually unique mix of random patterns fixed into the makeup of our bodies. Mostly it's taken as “that’s the way I am.” Well, you didn’t start off that way, did you? Genetics you say? There’s that. But, how we’ve come to actually use our genetic inheritance, that’s learned. And, again, self-taught.

Why leave that area to chance? Only to take action when "something happens". 

Rolf Structural Integration is the peerless and definitive teaching for the basic life lesson of using your body correctly. It’s based on well-understood science. Training the individual toward the uprightness and symmetries inherent in the Anatomical Design of the body. Training the simple Physics of balance in respect to the dictates of Gravity.
