Finally, we must also look at Gentle Teaching’s long term impact, not through any sort of long term planning, but as a way of sharing our collective open-heartedness. Gentle Teaching now has varying degrees direct involvement in over 26 nations. We must attempt to ensure that we are sharing our world—wide experiences and materials. In this generation behaviorism will continue to loose its sway. Its use and popularity is waning. It has latched onto autism as its last stand. This too will pass.

 

In this generation we must make sure that:

  • We are bringing a culture of gentleness to all nations and all who are suffering;
  • We focus on a culture of gentleness in families across the world;
  • Wherever we are, we focus on the creation of caring communities within a culture of gentleness

Gentle Teaching has spread to many nations and towns—from villages in Third World countries to provinces and states in many nations. This has been accomplished by having an open heart, not a business plan with goals and objectives. That is my way that seems to only make sense to me, but it has been fruitful.
