Victorian play

Daytrips were a rare thing for us not least for not having a school minibus compared with today  but we did go out to find out about such things as the Victorians and what being a Victorian Child might of been about.
Shockingly we learnt many Victorian children didn't have a childhood as we understood it, with schooling with them as soon as they were able being expected to enter the World of Work often doing dangerous things like looking after Coal Mines and Mills doint the things the grown ups couldn't do with no say in the matter.
Sometimes we'd have a playtime during such trips in a nearby park or something and when it came to the Victorians we were introduced to the games they played playing as if we we were those children and I'd go and play with the girls games like this.
I think it's where I get the idea of wanting to go back in time from cos I just feel it.

A lesson from Miss

This was more like the kind of lesson we had at high school, probably more around age 14/15 as chalkboards were going out of style although the basics of 'chalk and talk' were still there with the white boards using wipeable marker pens, class lead by teacher.
In our day could could be punished in class and some of us were.

Regressed replacements XIIII

But then that wasn't all as I couldn't get away with anything either.

I'd be caned in class in front of my classmates as they looked in aghast as I screamed and cried, not that it made any difference.
It might be the best thing that happened to this girl,ever.

Malory Towers

This is I'm informed the original dust jacket-the thick paper covers hard backed books come with this volume in the Malory Towers series came with, a series like much of Enid Blyton's books I read as a child and certainly in boarding school which was most appropriate when you sit and think about it.
It resonated strongly with me and I'd of loved to have been in such a school during the era it was written and fortunately my copies haven't had the references to school discipline removed as that was a part of that experience as it was with my own schooling.

Needs

Sometimes the thing we truly need in our lives isn’t pleasant but is necessary.

I often need someone to really take an idea in my head that's beyond my comfort zone physically and make that happen such as wearing a very cute short pleated skirrt wit cute tights and feminine blouse in order to realize the me within which was thing that for so long was repressed.

We shouldn’t be spared it if we are to become more mature, reliable people and if I need a good spanking to get it on then responsible people should make it happen.  I’d be lying if I said I didn’t need it and it is.

Colouring

This week I've been thinking about colouring.
Colouring is an activity most children do from an early age when you take a drawing with the outline image in printed usually in black and colour in between the lines.
Colouring can be helpful in improving your hand to eye co-ordination as you learn to colour in tiny areas neatly.
It's also quite useful in encouraging you to exercise your own imagination, by choosing what areas to colour in whatever colour you prefer although for some subjects  you may prefer to follow the examples such as drawings of Disney Princesses.
It came to me a few days back in part through an ongoing conversation and also while listening to a podcast, that I did very little colouring when I was younger and by the time I'd reached nine it was deemed to be 'childish' although I did draw in colour trees and houses cause that was called 'drawing' which was said to be 'okay' for me to do.
Colouring is in my opinion one of the easiest ways of getting into a younger headspace especially if you live away from any local  littles community because you can do it pretty much anywhere making very little demands on apartment space.
You'll need a supply of coloured pencils (mine are Hello Kitty ones for extra cute appeal), an eraser to remove mistakes, and colouring books that you'll find most newsstores stock so you can get out of your chair and go buy it in person as after all it is for you!.
I tend to keep mine by the computer as a stress relief tool when the interwebs go wonky but generally after changing to my littles clothes, I either lay on my front on the floor or across my Hello Kitty festooned bed with the book and pencil case out in front of me. You could if you wished, sat at a desk to do this too as if you were in a play group or school setting.
I find it very relaxing just lying there colouring completly free  from any groan up stuff that may be about affecting my head.

For the teen Trans Kids

Okay, now I’ve gotten your attention we will get to business
We’re a bit grown up here so let’s start off by acknowledging something straight off and that is if you’re transgendered you been like this from birth, you had a female inner child who came out doing fairly regular girlish things like playing with dolls, carrying your teddy with you, playing dress up and so on. You might of been caught out and scolded (or worse) or maybe you did it when nobody much was around.
As you got a bit older you may have stopped the dressing side for a whole of reasons such as trying to make yourself fit in as say a male because of peer pressure or maybe your school and sporting commitments got in the way.
Now you do restart and like you’re feeling “Whoa! I feel different now” you seem to be preoccupied with looks, boys and the inevitable  that goes with it you may feel like doubting who you really are.
The good news is actually you’re the same as everything so-called regular teen school girl having this adolescence interest/curiosity around sex but still having some child like sides to you and this is okay. What’s never okay is for Adults to take advantage of you sexually.
So for all the teen transgendered children out there, be strong, be yourself but keep safe!
