Hello I'm Marila Azevedo, Brazilian, paedodontist, university teacher recently retired, and I love people and children are my delight. I have been working with health education for communities ( families, parents, children and adolescents) for 30 yrs. Me and my colleagues had structured, the first dental health program for babies and pregnant women in the University in my state in 1990. Since then I have been helping parents in their dental needs with preventive programs and health education to transform their lives and their children’s lives. I always have been searching and studying to find a better way to connect mothers with their babies since they need to change their habits towards a better quality of life. Last year I structured a project that has always been my dream, of wanting to change the world. The project: Viver, Aprender e Evoluir (live, learn and evolve) to save children from mental conflicts and to change their mindset and their vision of themselves as “they are not enough” as they think they are committed to live the same kind of life as their parents. They have different activities such as sport, and activities of meditation, silence, contemplation, I give them the support of understanding their awareness, of cooking bread, pizza… I want them to be independent, and self-sufficient to thrive in the best way possible, transforming themselves through self-knowledge and by understanding some contents of neuroscience. To participate they must be enrolled in the school in the neighbourhood. I have the help of community members and families.
So, when I had first seen Little Humans, as a Mindvalley student I could not believe my eyes. When I read the course’s syllabus, I made my inscription, I had the most amazing feelings of engagement and identification with it. I said: “the universe is listening to my prayers”. It was exactly the content and specialists I was looking for as I was following and reading books of Dr Shefaly, Dr. Siegel, Eric Edmeades and all other icons and researchers of children’s and family’s behaviour. All of them together in a platform I trust so much,… could not believe.
Exactly the knowledge and theme I was looking for to help me with my ideas of raising a child but mostly to help families in need to connect with their children to avoid future disconnection with their teens. In the quest I could testified the genuine desire of all the team united in the mission of a better relationship for parents and their children allowing a better and safe emotional adult life. Little Humans’ team with rich masterclasses in children´s sleep, children’s nutrition, children’s behaviour when dealing with problems, different kind of losses, development, and growth. All themes taught very seriously with the latest neuroscience background. So, I did not think twice to decide to take part in this journey with so gifted and precious teachers and hosts.
After participating with you in this programme I had the conviction that I am in the right direction helping to save lives. All the content with scientific based classes, up dated gave me the assurance and the confidence I needed to trust my insights to carry on with my dream of saving lives! I highly recommend this Quest as it has the most renowned team of children’s experts, and a fabulous couple of facilitators. My life had a big change as I have been more confident and endorsed with my experience combined with all the courses in this series of Little Humans.
My top 3 takeaways and insights were:
1- about the importance of parents own awareness to be connected with their children in a way to make changes in children’s understanding and behaviour.
2- about the importance of these first 7 years of a child growth and development being a window of opportunity t for parents to stimulate their brain in a positive and affective way to guarantee the most balanced life in adolescent and adulthood.
3- Also learned that our children are not our extension, but they are sovereign beings, and to be a good parent you must know about yourself to connect in a good way with your child. The biggest positive change I have noticed is the understanding that as parents we do not have to project our beliefs in our children nor our emotional imbalances.
