1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: With
so much going on in this world I
thought I would do a commentary
for this show. The theme of the
show for today is,
Children Live What They Learn.
I am going to play some special
music and will be sharing some
thoughts on what is going on in
today’s world from my
perspective. ---- Children Live What They Learn. A simple but powerful guide to parenting the old-fashioned way-instilling values through example-inspired by Dorothy Law Nolte ,"Children Learn What They Live," the celebrated poem she wrote in 1954 on jealousy, praise, honesty, fairness, and more. What inspired this was several articles came out about Gang Violence and putting more police on campus and bringing back a Gang Violence program that was successful in our county which I questioned since it was effective how come it was taken away. Also, it is my hope that perhaps if we start thinking about some of the things that I will be presenting, a lot of this young violence against one another can stop. For this portion I am going to go over the 1954 Poster, Children Live What They Learn by Dorothy Law Nolte. She’s a woman who understood the field of positive youth development before it was invented. What inspired me to talk about this was reading in our local paper that gang activity, racism and violence is on the rise in schools. From all that I have read, it appears that the best way to start solving the problem is to put more police in schools. Although that may be part of the solution, it takes more than just putting police on campuses. It is my hope that in doing this review it will inspire people to add more counselors, have focus groups with youth and increase the funding, not decrease it for our schools. Our children are the future and we must invest in them. I will go over the list - see the image below:
---- Seven Principles of Kwanzaa If you haven’t noticed yet, the number seven holds a lot of power and symbolism in celebrating Kwanzaa: The word has seven letters, the celebration lasts seven days, and the holiday focuses on seven main principles, or Nguzo Saba. These seven principles reinforce African values, and Kwanzaa observers should spend each day of the festival reflecting on one principal holiday focuses on seven main principles, or Nguzo Saba. These seven principles reinforce African values, and Kwanzaa observers should spend each day of the festival reflecting on one principle. Kwanzaa began on December 26 and ended on January 1. Kwanzaa is a seven-day, non-religious celebration of family, culture, and community. Each day honors a particular African-derived principle, and the final day culminates in a feast (called Karamu) on New Year’s Day. Ken and I did not do a show on Jan. 1, but did broadcast a rerun of our show of December 26, 2022 with Sabryyah Abdullah. When I listened to it on New Years Day, I remembered the seven principles of the holiday and thought for today’s show it might be a promising idea to talk about them as it relates to our children and their needs. The interview with Sabryyah talks about Kawanza in depth and can be accessed with the button link below:
Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa (/ ˈkwɑːn.zə /) is an annual celebration of African-American culture from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a communal feast called Karamu , usually on the sixth day. It was created by activist Maulana Karenga , based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of West and Southeast Africa. Source: https://blog.rosettastone.com/what-is-kwanzaa-heres-what-you-need-to-know-and-what-to-say/ -- The Seven Principles of Kwanzaa Despite its relatively new history, Kwanzaa is observed by millions of Black Americans in the United States and spans from December 26 through January 1. Each day of the week has a different word in Swahili to represent one of the seven core principles of the holiday: 1. Umoja (unity) 2. Kujichagulia (self-determination) 3. Ujima (collective work and responsibility) 4. Ujamaa (cooperative economics) 5. Nia (purpose) 6. Kuumba (creativity) 7. Imani (faith) Source: https://www.aol.com/celebrating-kwanzaa-know-162300372.html ---- Our history is our strength.
