Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin’s Post

This is a very short exert and a powerful illustration of emotional intelligence. While this is a lesson for all I also want to emphasise that this is a lesson for all boys and boys growing into men and men to understand what the potential affects on them when they keep and follow the stereotypical trope of them not expressing their emotions. This I believe is the first steps parents need to start proactively engaging in and teaching and building the confidence of their male children even before they get into the educational setting so that their emotions are NOT crushed there. Parents are totally unaware that many of our male children are disempowered within the very system, that parents assume to be safe developmentally through education. The lack of understanding and support has had an impact on their mental health outcomes. Men’s mental health outcomes as we see today is a result of many years of trauma and boxing and suppressing feelings from day one either at home or in the playground. As parents we also need to wake up and stop assuming that the wholistic development of the child is within the schools setting. As parents we also have to take a proactive approach in training and understand the gaps that need to be developed to meet our children’s needs that the educational system are not designed to fulfil.

Spread the love this Valentine's Day by advocating for the 1 in 10 New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. Today, City Harvest is joining advocates in Albany for Anti-Hunger Advocacy Day to urge lawmakers to pass a state budget that invests in programs and policies to support food security—including increasing the SNAP minimum benefit to $100 per month, increasing funding for Nourish New York, and fully funding school meals. Together, we can end hunger.

Last chance to complete our alumni survey if you were a ‘Farmer for a Week’? Did you experience the Farms for City Children week of muck & magic? Did we give you memories that have lasted a life time? Over the last 47 years we have welcomed over 100,000 children and young people to our farms. We’re working to understand our impact. If you can spare 5 mins please give us your thoughts on all things “Muck & Magic” by completing the attached. https://lnkd.in/eHDNFuW6

Trap-Neuter-Return (#TNR) is the only humane and effective approach to community cats, or unowned cats who live outdoors. Lethal policies have failed over decades and are inherently ineffective--TNR, with community support, is the way forward. Learn why #TNRWorks - alleycat.org/TNR

FELLOW NIGERIANS, IT'S AN UNDEBATABLE FACT THAT WE LOVE TO COPY THE WESTERN WORLD; WHAT THEY SAY IS RIGHT BECOMES RIGHT FOR US AND WHAT THEY SAY IS WRONG BECOMES WRONG FOR US ALSO. IF THEY SAY KISSING IN MOVIES/TV SHOWS IS RIGHT WE ACCEPT IT WITHOUT QUESTION. IF THE SAY PUNISHING A CHILD BY BEATING IS WRONG, WE ADOPT IT WHOLESALE. MY QUESTION IS, HAVE WE BOTHERED TO STUDY THE EFFECTS OF THEIR WAY OF LIFE? BECAUSE WHERE THERE IS SEEDTIME THERE IS ALWAYS A HARVEST. FOR INSTANCE, MASS SHOOTINGS WAS A RARITY IN THE USA IN THE 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s AND EVEN THE EARLY 2000s. BUT NOW IT HAS BECOME THEIR WAY OF LIFE, THERE HAS BEEN AN AVERAGE OF 600 MASS SHOOTINGS EACH YEAR IN THE LAST 3 YEARS (and gun deaths above 35,000). HAVE WE BOTHERED TO FIND OUT WHICH OF THEIR SEEDS (way of life) HAS RESULTED IN THIS HARVEST SO WE CAN AVOID IT TOTALLY OR AT LEAST MODIFY IT BEFORE WE SOW IT INTO OUR CHILDREN.

Worryingly, child exploitation can happen anywhere, and any young person can be exploited. We’re supporting @TheChildrensSociety @BritishTransportPolice and @NationalPoliceChiefsCouncil #LookCloser campaign to raise awareness. By learning to spot the signs and how to get help, we can keep young people safe from this harm. Learn more: https://orlo.uk/eTcQ8
