Paper books over screens

The reality is that screens have taken over the world—smartphones, tablets, computers—all within just a few decades.

We also now understand that, physiologically speaking, it is recommended for young children to avoid screens as much as possible and instead use paper books.

It is better for their brain development.

And when we consider that our natural neuroplasticity—our capacity to adapt—is at its peak until around age 25, but can still be nurtured even after, it becomes clear that having screen-free time is also beneficial for adults.

It’s not that we don’t recognize the advantages these new technologies bring.

This is simply about protecting the development of our children!

Children have this extraordinary gift—the ability to live in their own fantasy worlds—and books have the unique power to nurture that trait!

    If there is one thing we can all learn from children, it is their ability to see the world with pure and innocent eyes. Their questions often feel naïve, yet they describe very well how a heart that is still pure and innocent sees the world around us. The Seven Shapes understood one thing: for

    The world is filled with countless mysteries yet to be discovered, and with so many things that have been learned through the years since the beginning of civilizations. Not only for adults, but even more so for newly born Espers, it can feel overwhelming. That’s why Vati and the other Shapes believed that education needed

    Atma found in Shala the figure of an older sister, someone with whom she could share her vision of the world. As the Shape of Balance, Atma was there to help the Espers remember that balance was essential for a bright StarDust. But she couldn’t help them directly—they had to understand and act on their

    Shala would ask the young Espers what came to their minds when thinking about events that occur only once in a lifetime. A very intrepid child replied first: “The birth of my younger sister!” “Indeed, the birth of a new life is something that becomes a great challenge for the parents.” Vati added: “Raising a

    The message of One Daily Tale was simple. The Five Elements working together in balance were the key to a bright StarDust for an Esper. This led to an Esper who could now consciously face his inner Shadow—something hidden from him without the light of his own StarDust. Those enlightened Espers could become living examples

This was when Faya stepped

    There was a saying that Kenko liked a lot, and though it did not directly concern health, she appreciated the idea behind it, as it reflected the principles taught by the other Shapes as well. “You should be grateful for the little things you receive — whether it is simple lodging or a meal.” Kenko

    Eklea liked to use concrete examples to explain abstract notions that were difficult to grasp, especially for the younger Espers. This time, she used the example of a one-versus-one game played by two Espers. The game had a lot of depth, and a well-timed move could completely change the tide of the match. She said,
