Tonya Dawn Recla and Neva Lee Recla In light of the recent shooting massacre in Las Vegas, Tonya Dawn Recla and Neva Lee Recla explore how to talk to kids about human empathy. As a parent and guide to high vibrational beings, Tonya walks the fine line between sharing information with Neva and overburdening her seemingly young mind with intense information about 3rd through 5th dimensional reality. The conversations that ensue from this space are nothing short of magical.

A note from Tonya Dawn Recla:

For those of you who persevere in the quest to raise autonomous, connected, aware young people, know you are not alone. We’re seeing more and more children born into the world who are incredibly tapped in and aren’t shy about expressing the depth of their commitment to their unique super powers. If you find yourself out-of-your-league with a remarkable child, please reach out to us and allow us to support you in mentoring them as they create the world they came to experience.

Hi this is Tonya Dawn Recla, your Super Power Expert and I’m here with

Neva Lee Recla, your Super Power Kid.

And we were just having a really deep kinda challenging conversation …

It was tough.

Yeah so we decided that we’re going to record a little bit about it and call it Hard Talks with Kids About Human Empathy. We think it’s important to share.

Maybe it’s even for everyone, hard talks for everyone.

Right. I think talking with you about it though it helps to model maybe what some people are thinking or feeling and they don’t want to talk about. So you want to tell some of the folks what we were talking about?

So what we were talking about was what was going on in Las Vegas. So apparently there was a crime and pretty much 50 people got killed.

Right, and so we … I’m going to take a little pause here real quick because I know some parents choose not to share that kind of information with their kids ’cause it’s hard right? That was hard for you to listen to.

Sometimes I regret learning about that and I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes and sometimes I regret learning about that but if I realize that if I don’t I won’t be ready for the world if that type of thing happened when I’m an adult then I won’t be prepared and I won’t know what’s going to go on, what’s going to happen.

Right so we debate that a lot, like what is it? Is it right to share it with you? Are you capable of processing the information? Are you not? So that’s a constant balance right?

Exactly.

So what are some of the topics that we talked about in conjunction with that?

So we definitely talked about sitting there and instead of me going into wanting to be selfish and be angry and wanting to make that person wrong I instead just loved them and just was like know what, even though they did something that maybe wasn’t the best of choices then I can still love them in this and appreciate them for who they are.

Right. Yeah and there’s all kinds of complexities as to why people do things right?

Yeah.

People are either demonstrating love or crying out for it.

So what’s one of the kind of sayings that we live by? Do you remember? Someone’s either demonstrating love or …

Or crying out for it and we think that person might have been crying out for it.

Yeah you may have to speak up just a little bit.

So we think that person might have been crying out for love and we’re holding space for Las Vegas.

Yeah. Sending lots of love and high vibes there.

Yes we are.

Let’s talk a little bit about when we discuss things like human empathetic and what it means to be empathetic to things that means to be able to feel this stuff because of course we don’t want to shut down our feelings right? We want to really sit in them so when we’re sad, feel that, but also not go into like you were talking about, selfishness and make it about us and want to go into … So part of it was you wanted to think about well, were there kids involved and so there’s an aspect of us that wants to …

Be selfish and be like oh my gosh it’s a humongous tragedy but they to me, us three are, four including our dog, we all believe that everything happens for a reason. So we believe that those 50 some odd people and that one person made an agreement and same with the cops, all of them combined made one humongous agreement. Their spirits did.

Oh but that’s really hard I think for people to wrap their mind around when a tragedy like this happens because on one hand the humans who experience it that’s not an easy conversation but to be able to kind of rise above and to look at it from a higher vantage point and say okay, what does this serve, you know and I personally believe that there are a lot of what I call social ills, so things that aren’t great about society coming up for us to take a hard look at. Say you know, what do we want to do about this and not fall into the trap of blaming guns or blaming this or blaming that but really looking at the higher elements. Say, what is it that drives people to do these things and my belief is that they feel a lack of connection, right?

Yeah. Like they feel like a connection with God.

Right, with themselves and ultimately with source or with God, right?

Yeah. So part of me wanted to be selfish and I wanted to be like oh my gosh what about their families and I realized that also happened for a reason.

Yeah I mean it’s a big kind of ordeal that everybody gets to unravel now and people were witnesses to it, people were involved in it.

We even said that, what we say in our family is don’t fight violence with violence and part of me also wanted to go into selfishness about that because that person that made that decision to kill a couple people …

More than a couple.

Yeah more than a couple, also got killed and so thank you to all the cops and everyone that has served or what you do because I realize that you make so many hard decisions.

Yeah I can’t imagine having to make those kinds of decisions.

Yeah I can’t either and kids here, here’s how I can explain cops and those cops in that situation. They don’t make a … So, you know how sometimes it’s a hard decision like deciding what you want for Christmas and they make much harder decisions than that.

Well more importantly they have to be ready. So people who serve in the military, first responders, fire fighters, a lot of folks, they have to be willing to make those hard decisions, right?

And also they have to be realizing that if they put their selves at risk that their family probably will be very sad and if the other person that … The other person’s family members will also be kind of shook up.

Yeah there’s a ripple effect. So let’s take a quick break and because we’re talking about hard talks with kids about human empathy, when we come back let’s tackle human empathy a little bit okay?

Alright.

Alright we’ll be right back.
