Eggs-cellent Egg-quinox Eggs-periment!

Dear Young Ethical Scientists,

We are balancing eggs this week!  Start right away!
Wake up on Monday March 20th, the first day of Spring
for the Spring Equinox's Famous Perfect Balancing Moment:
at six-twenty-nine a.m.

Take notes!
How many eggs did you manage to get standing and for how long?
And try again in the eve, and the next day -- all week long if you can! as many times as your age!

We'll share our RESEARCH about Egg-Balancing.
Send an email to EthicsForChildren@NYSEC.org
with your RESULTS and we'll tally up the evidence of many efforts!


QUEST: DO EGGS BALANCE ON THE EQUINOX: the day when night and day are equal.
DO EGGS BALANCE ON OTHER DAYS TOO?

Science & Ethics #1

The coolest knowledge:

OUR BRAIN CHANGES as we learn!!!!

Ethical Explorers at NYSEC created brain-y caps starring:
  * the inner primitive brain:  the Limbic Brain that turns off and on our higher thinking powers and helps us in survival-mode!
  * the investigative thinker: the slow-to-grow Prefrontal-Cortex !
  * the "how-and-where-are-you?" center of motion:  the Parietal Band -- no, not parental!
  * the inner voices, musical-mind and word learner:  the Temporal Band
        -- [remember our new word? PARADOX, thanks to young-brain Gabriel!]
  * the gymnast-of-sight, flipping everything upside down and backwards:  the Occipital Lobe

MARCH OF DOLLS!!!

SIMPLE AND FUN ACTION PLAN:

Step 1: Take time to talk with your family members and neighbors and friends about the messages you want to represent with your signs, and invite them to contribute their ideas and designs too.  Make a list, or collection
Step 2: Use Index cards or small papers on popsicle sticks to make signs for them that speak for your values.
Step 3: Collect all the figures in your house and prop them up as a community with signs and banners and t-shirt stickers.
Step 4: Take some photos
Step 5:  Sing your own peace songs and play with your very own rules a game you create called:  PEACE MARCH
Step 6: Send the pictures to EthicsForChildren@NYSEC.org.  By doing so, you agree to let them be posted on the Young Ethical Explorers blog, Facebook page, of other social media of NYSEC,  as a part of a VIRTUAL EXHIBIT.

This project is inspired by 4 year old Rose Redfern, and her parents Mark and Wendy in Virginia:

#NoMoreBlackTargets

No More Black Targets

Here is a gift of art to bring out the best in our law enforcement agency.

We recognize that they may get deeply good at what they practice.

If your "menacing figure" for shooting practice is a black figure, 

well... you'll get terribly good at shooting black figures.

But since, of course, Black Lives do Matter, let's rethink 

this paradigm by 

painting the targets!

On Wednesday, January 25th, 6:30pm

Free event to launch this movement

Inspired by Algernon Black

Lillian wrote these inspirations, taking off from Algernon Black.

The Children's March -- Marching!

Miles and Sean at the March!

Marifer and Oberon at the March!

Marifer working on the collective poster!

Leaders of the march.

Note the new spelling of the President-Elect:  CHROP

This young activist and I talked about Giraffe power!  

Giraffe is the symbol for Compassionate Communication...

because it can think preventatively by seeing far and wide,

and has the largest mammal heart. 

Children's March of Kindness: Poster Making!!!

Ethics for Children & Ethics For Teen Leaders

"We need ETHICAL LeaderSHIP...please!"  Marifer is contemplating the value of LIVING THINGS!  "Every inch of everyone is Good!" says Max What do we want? PEACE When do we want it? NOW WHO CREATES PEACE? We do! WHEN DO WE MAKE  PEACE? Now! On the afternoon of December 11th, Ethical Families joined the  Children's March and Speak out in Central Park. NYSEC families met early for poster-making and "shout-out-practice" -- learning call-n-response march techniques, and peace songs --  We met oodles of families at the Central Park Bandshell for a speak out. The focus of this event is fairness, kindness, peace, and equality. Kids of all ages had made wonderful signs to carry, standing up for their values. PHOTOS: You may wish to share your photos of your children's signs or the march.
