Todays Children

Today’s children exhibit exceptional innate talents of greater perception and sensitivity in the physiological, emotional, ethical, behavioural, cognitive, social, psychic and spiritual realms. These qualities can also be found in adults and grandparents, but to a lesser extent.

Therefore we have a student, at home or in our classroom, whose emotional and sensory equipment is already more sensitive. He is capable of perceiving energetic and cognitive spectrums that sometimes adults do not themselves perceive.

So what characterises today’s children is not only their high cognitive capacities, but also their vast sense of perception in all environments, their keen level of empathy and their surprising psychic and spiritual openness, especially at a very early age.

Their level of empathy is very high, this is to say, that they are capable of comprehending and experiencing the feelings, thoughts and experiences of others, without the need for speaking or even, in some cases, of being physically present.

They are children whose faculties are multilateral, which is to say, that they can see different aspects of the same thing, and multidimensional; they can access various levels of consciousness.

Self-taught and self-developed, meaning that they present, in general, a profile of a self-taught leader with a high psycho-emotional development. This profile was proposed by Dr. Abraham Maslow, transpersonal humanist psychologist, and corresponds to the great majority of today’s children.
Associated with a high sensitivity, bothphysical—in their five senses and their metabolism—as well as emotional, social, ethical and spiritual.
Tied to a super-developed Emotional Intelligence, such as Dr. Daniel Goleman describes. That provides today’s children with: high speed of understanding, an ability to act immediately, a sense of certainty, and a holistic assimilation of knowledge.
Related to the extensive use of their brain’s right hemisphere, which provides them with: a visual kind of learning, creativity, imagination, enthusiasm for the arts, music, feelings, emotional sensitivity, intuition, sixth sense, nonverbal expression, the ability to multitask, independence, and persistence, amongst other qualities. They truly have a natural synchronisation of both hemispheres of the brain. The right hemisphere provides them with intuition and creativity, the left hemisphere gives them clarity and structure to carry out what they set out to do. The synchronization of both hemispheres accompanied by high, stress-free motivation provides a natural, active state of alpha waves; the theory of Flow from the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi(Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is the ex-director of the Department of Psychology of the University of Chicago and director of the Quality of Life Research Centre of Claremont Graduate University in California.).
Related at times with psychic talents, also called parapsychic or intuitive, presenting innate capacity for clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition and other extrasensory facilities.
Tied to standards of diversified learning, including the nine intelligences described by Doctors Gardner and Armstrong. They also naturally use their energetic or intuitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, practical intelligence and co-creative intelligence.
