Rings of Buddha for Kids - Parental Instructions

Print out a chart for each child or members of the household. The first four rings around you are your personal space. If your child is placing anyone in that area, it is expressing co-dependancy. Even thpought your child loves you deeply, it is healthy for them to learn their personal space. Using a pencil with a good eraser, your child may move people in and out of the rings as often as they feel a change in their feeling toward someone. They do not have to tell the person about the change. this is about them understanding control of the spacial emotiuons and to turn angery ointo a healthy state of being. The energy of their own focused intention will make the changes. Place the chart on the fridge or a well seen community space in the house so all can see the chart changes. Encourage your child to avoid discord according to their feelings by placing and moving siblings, friends, parents, teachers, advisors, babysitters, pets, etc. in and out on the rings. The further out indicates their desire to have more distance (or dislike) and can later be healed and moved back inward. This allows your child to understand and be in command of their changing feelings. When others see that they have been moved out or in, things will change because communication will occur as to why they have been moved. This is also a "distant" type of expression rather than an "in your face" confrontation.
