Creating a Promise Tree
When my Mum was ill, I wrote a prayer about her on a Promise Tree at our Church. There were many other messages on the Promise Tree. Stating my prayer for her in writing helped me to focus on what I wanted for her versus what my fear was telling me to listen to!
Today I saw this:
This is the Promise Tree at Nottingham University's Early Years Summit, which was part of a campaign launched by Ivan Lewis, Shadow Secretary of State for International Development and Dame Tessa Jowell, MP, calling for an integrated approach to early childhood development to be included within the Millenium Development Goals' succeeding framework post 2015.
The early years period from conception to two years is when we can affect the most change with a child. When I see a child for play therapy, a lot of the emotional damage has occurred during this period.
My promise to children, is to help them discover their voice, and encourage them to use that voice for their own empowerment.
What is your promise?
