The Number Ten

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children Ep. 46

In this episode we read a special story by Shel Silverstein called “The Giving Tree”. It’s a tear-jerker that runs deep. It has themes of existence, creation, life and nature’s elements. It corresponds to the number 10! Pythagoras considered 10 to be the most sacred number, since 1+2+3+4 = 10. These numbers represent existence (1), creation (2), life (3), and the four elements (4): earth 🌎, air 🌬️, fire 🔥, and, water 🌊 !

The tree gives herself in service, much like the donkey who shows up in two songs by Nancy Stewart of https://nancymusic.com/.

At the end of this episode, Gino demonstrates a way to communicate with young children by exploring problem situations. Adults get the opportunity to discover the nature of young children by asking questions from a place of curiosity, playfulness and reverence.

The Secret Kindergarten Radio Show for Young Children is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.
