Igniting enthusiasm continued

"Fitting pegs into holes, square and round",
by Susie Mallett, July 24th 2010

I have just received some new information on the "chanelbags" mystery.

The essay that you mentioned in your blog is translated from Mandarin, which itself is translated from a Japanese book co-authored by a Japanese writer (Mayumi Komurasaki) and a Korean picturist.

Ms Komurasaki graduated from the Kobe University of Foreign Studies, majoring in International Relations. She then worked in a Japanese TV Station as reporter and program host. In 2005, she qualified as an education counsellor and worked in school and then in the Education Bureau.

Currently, she is a private practitioner, advocating 'conductive counselling' for upbringing normal kids and is running counsellor training courses.

Her linkage with CE is not yet known.

I have just spent over an hour searching for her in the internet, I have not found her yet. Perhaps more experienced googlers will have more luck. I would quite like to contact her.

Notes

This new information came from Mr Ivan Y. W. Su. Thank you.

"How to ignite children's enthusiasm"

"Sparks in the glowing embers"
by Susie Mallett, July 2010

Long, hot days and occasionally a rainy night that means sleep is easier.

I woke from such a night to discover that Google Alert had been incredibly active in the early hours and amongst the offerings I found this:

http://chanelbags.tk/?p=1375

It is something a bit different to the usual CE Google Alert offerings about centres and blog postings.

This is a really interesting descriptions of conductive upbringing. It took a couple of readings, standing at a distance to take in everything that I could gather from the side lines, to understand what was being said.

But in the end I thought that in front of me was sometthing for parents all over the world. It appears to me like a combination of what I heard Dr Mária Hári saying many times and what I have read in Mararenko's writings.

The more I think about it the more I realise that reading this article really was very much like listening to Mária Hári. I needed to call on all my resources, previous knowledge and experience to really understand it, just like in a Dr Hári lecture! But on the other hand it had asimplicity about it, it had the natural, common sence feel about it of Makarenko and his work.

I like it.

It is a bit of a mystery as to where this article originates.

Africa?

China?

India?

It does not really matter where it comes from, what does matter is where it goes. It matters if others read it and understand it. Perhaps it exists somewhere in an original language.

I hope it gets read and the readers begin to ask questions and wonder what this lifestyle is that is being described here and try to find out more.

Has anyone any clues?
