Found this short documentary from 2014 about him and his forest:

Soil erosion is still a problem but the authorities do not appear to be listening to Jadav’s suggestions on combating the issue, according to the programme. He would like to plant coconut trees because they grow extremely straight and help prevent erosion if planted densely enough. The fruit could also be sold for economic gain.

The man turned that barren land into a whole fucking forest by hand for them. Yet they show no interest in investing in its upkeep nor the desire for financial gain via the coconut industry. I just…🙄

Delusion Masterpost

Delusions can be categorized in various ways. The following are not mutually exclusive categories; for example, a delusion may be both bizarre and systematized.

Bizarre delusions-are absurd and factually not possible. They may involve newly discovered gods or supernatural/space creatures.

feelings that one is dying, is already dead or does not exist (cotard delusion)

 feelings of different people being a single person (fregoli delusion)

 feeling like one’s reflection in a mirror is some other person (mirrored-self delusion)

feeling that family, partners, friends and / or pets have been replaced by identical fakes (capgras delusion)

feeling like the world only exists inside one’s head (solipsism delusion)

feeling that one is living in a reality TV show (Truman show delusion)

 feeling like one has an identical doppelgänger with a different (usually malicious) personality and life (subjective doubles delusion)

feeling like other people swap identities with each other without changing appearance (intermetamorphosis delusion)

 feeling like doesn’t belong to one’s body or doesn’t own parts of one’s body (somatoparaphrenia delusion)

feeling like a person, place, object, or body part has been duplicated or transported somewhere else (reduplicative paramnesia delusion)

Grandiose delusions-are beliefs that the individual has exceptional beauty, intelligence or influence.

feeling that one is a god or deity

feeling that one has magical powers i.e. mind reading, control over the weather etc

feeling that one is indestructible or unimaginably strong

feeling that another person or other people (usually celebrities) are in love with oneself

Persecutory (or paranoid) delusions- include that the individual is being harassed, threatened, watched or bugged. They often involve spies, bikies, God, Satan or neighbors.

feeling that one is constantly being followed / stalked

feeling that one is secretly being spied on by family, partners, friends, others, pets and / or inanimate objects

feelings of fear over being kidnapped. Usually by a stranger.

feeling that one is constantly being watched (by unknown entities or known entities)

feeling that one is being ridiculed by family, partners, friends and / or others

feeling that one is being spied on or monitored by the government, FBI etc.

feeling that family members, partners, friends, others, pets and / or inanimate objects are secretly conspiring to kill oneself

feeling like is being or will be poisoned by others

Delusions of reference- are the belief that the everyday actions of others are premeditated and made with special reference to the patient. Commonly patients complain about being talked about on television or the radio. Patients may believe that music played or words spoken on television have been specifically chosen to identify or annoy them. People crossing the street or coughing may be interpreted as making purposeful actions, performed to indicate something to, or about, the patient.

Delusions of control- involve the belief that others are controlling the patient’s thoughts, feelings or actions.

Nihilistic delusions-are the belief that part of the individual or the external world does not exist, or that the individual is dead (Cotard syndrome). Financially comfortable individuals may believe they are destitute, in spite of bank statements to the contrary. Patients who believe they have no head or are dead, are unable to explain how that could be possible, but still hold the belief.

Somatic delusions- are false beliefs about the body. These may be bizarre or non-bizarre. A bizarre example is when the individual believes his nose is made of gold. A nonbizarre example is when the individual believes he has cancer of the rectum, in spite of negative reports from a competent doctor who has examined the rectum.

Delusions of infestation/parasitosis- are not uncommon in dermatological clinics (Hylwa et al, 2011).

Delusions of guilt - that the individual is guilty of purposefully or non-purposefully damaging themselves, other individuals or important property. Individuals may believe they are guilty of causing the cancer of the lady who lives next door, or a drought in Central Africa.

Delusions of jealousy - the belief that the partner is being unfaithful, and may involve checking the partner’s underclothes for stains or foreign pubic hairs.

Erotic delusions (erotomania) - the belief of the patient that another person is in love with him/her (de Clerambault syndrome). This (among others) may be a motivation for stalking, and lead to contact with the unwelcoming central figure of the delusion.

Systematized delusions- are united by a single theme. They are often highly detailed and may remain unchanged for years.

Non-systematized delusions- may change in content and level of concern, from day to day or even from minute to minute.

This applies to psychotic episodes and not just schizophrenia. Here is how you handle an episode. Speaking of the belief in flight delusion you mentioned, there was a girl in Stephen Fry’s documentary The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive who thought she could fly. She jumped off a balcony and became unable to walk. In the case of a delusion that seriously threatens the deluded persons safety, they would probably recommend limiting their access to things that would harm them.

Schizophrenia

«schizo» means split, and «phrenia» in this case refers to the mind. even though schizophrenia can be interpreted to mean splitting of the mind, it does not refer to a split personality like some media sources might portray, but rather schizophrenia refers to a scattered or fragmented pattern of thinking. schizophrenia is actually a syndrome meaning there are all sorts of symptoms that might be associated with it, and different patients might experience different symptoms. although the symptoms can be broadly categorized into three major areas. -positive symptoms -negative symptoms -cognitive symptoms alright, taking a step back. most human symptoms from any illness are extreme versions of a normal physiologic process. for example; everyone has a heartbeat, right? tachycardia is a fast heartbeat. in the same way everyone has a normal body temperature, but during a fever that temperature is higher. in schizophrenia patients have positive symptoms, which aren’t positive in the sense that they’re helpful, but positive in the sense that there’s some new feature that doesn’t have a normal or  physiologic counterpart. these are the psychotic symptoms, so; -delusions -hallucinations -disorganized speech -disorganized behavior -catatonic behavior none of which occur physiologically. delusions are false beliefs that the person might feel very strongly about. so much so that they won’t change their mind, even if you gave them evidence against it. there are all sorts of different delisions, like for example; a delusion of control where somebody thinks that some outside force, person or thing is controlling their actions. they can also be delusions of reference where someone might think that insignificant remarks are directed at them, like a newscaster is speaking directly to them through the tv. hallucinations are a second type of positive symptom and it can be any kind of sensation that’s not really there, including visual and auditory sensations like hearing voices or commands. a third type is disorganized speech, an example being something like a word-salad which seems like a random jumbling of words or phrases like «pencil dog hat coffee blue!». disorganized behavior on the other hand could be like if they exibit some bizarre or silly behavior that’s out of context and doesn’t seem to have much of a purpose, like for example wearing multiple layers of jackets on a hot summer day. also sometimes their behavior is described as catatonic which has to do with their movements, posture and responsiveness. so they might be super resistant to moving, or being an unresponsive stupor. negative symptoms are when there’s a reduction or removal of normal processes. this is like a decrease in emotions that they can express, or a loss of interest in things they once found interesting. one type of negative symptom is called flat effect where they dont respond with an emotion or reaction that would seem appropriate, like if they saw something very unexpected like a monkey playing in their livingroom. they might simply sit and watch idly as if nothing was happening. another type is alogia or poverty of speech, which is a lack of content in their speech. so like if somebody asked them «do you have any children?», they might respond with «yes.» instead of «yeah, one boy and two girls.». a third type of negative symptom is avolition which is this decrease in motivation to complete certain goals, so someone might stay home for long periods of time without trying to reach out to friends or find work. cognitive symptoms are like not being able to remember things, learn new things or understand others easily. these symptoms are more subtle though and are more difficult to notice and might only be detected by having really specific tests performed. an example being someone not being able to keep track of several things at a time like a phonenumber and an adress. people with schizophrenia seem to cycle through three phases, typically in order. during the prodromal phase patients might become withdrawn and spend most of their time alone, and a lot of times this seems similar to mental disorders like depression or anxiety. during the active phase patients experience more severe symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech/behavior or catatonic behavior. following the active phase patients often enter into a residual phase where they might exibit cognitive symptoms like not being able to concentrate or becoming withdrawn again as with the prodromal phase. for an official diagnosis of schizophrenia patients need to be diagnosed with two of the following symptoms; delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, disorganized/catatonic behavior or negative symptoms. and at least one of these have to be one of the three first mentioned. so basically, they can’t have just disorganized/catatonic behavior and negative symptoms. even though some patients might have cognitive symptoms, they aren’t needed for an official diagnosis. also though, for a diagnosis, signs of these disturbances must be ongoing for at least six months. meaning that they’re in one phase or the other for six months, but there must be at least one month of active symptoms.

I just finished babysitting my friend’s children, and she has most definitely mastered the no spanking/alternative discipline route. I always talk about taking it because I don’t believe in abusing children, but I’ve never personally seen it in action by a Black parent. Her children are 2 and 5 and they are the kindest, nicest toddlers I’ve ever met. They listen to her because she’s their mom and they automatically recognize she’s important and she gives them what they want (love and affection and rewards). In return they like to clean for her and give her artwork and cuddles all of the time.

To get them to listen to her, she makes sure to listen to them and what they’ve got to say instead of telling them to shut up all the time. The 5 year old asked her a few months ago why you can’t eat food that was on the floor after picking up food on the floor, and she explained it calmly and clearly. He asked 4 other questions after that and she answered all of them. He was satisfied and happy with the answers, and ever since he hasn’t done those things. She lets them gush and gush about Hot Wheels or Team Umizoomi and engages with them and counts with them and everything, so they never feel alone or neglected enough to not want to obey.

My friend lets them make mistakes by themselves on the rare chance they don’t listen so they can learn from them and let that be punishment enough. For example, the younger one we’ve been telling not to go near the dog cage because he doesn’t like dogs. He went near it a while ago, got his hand licked, freaked out, and hasn’t been anywhere near it since. The board on the wall that she uses has a column for each boy horizontally, and vertically are all the traits she wants them to have, like being nice, listening to her and their teachers, eating their food, cleaning up, having manners, etc. They get a sticker whenever they do it for the day, and they lose all their stickers when they break a habit. That’s enough punishment for them, so they don’t break it.

When they wake up, it’s cleanup time, or bedtime, she plays what she calls “musical habits”. She puts on a playlist of their favorite songs (it’s like 20-25 minutes) that make them feel motivated, and they should be finished getting ready or cleaning by the time the last song is over. If they’re not, they get a toy from their toy bin taken away or an Oreo from their snack bag taken out (aka eaten by her). But she hasn’t ever gotten to that because they always finish. They don’t even like hearing the consequences lol. And I just wanted to say I really enjoyed seeing good parenting by a Black woman that wasn’t abusive or harmful to the child’s development, it gave me inspiration and hope. Just had to talk about it somewhere.

THIS IS GOOD WHOLESOME PARENTING

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

This gives me hope. I’m gonna try to emulate this if I have kids

[fangirltothefullest]

Explaining things to children is a hugely important step to getting them to behave because they know the reasoning behind why you do or do not do specific things. This also helps with behavioural issues and having patience with kids who are neurodivergent (with ADHD, Asperger’s, Autism etc) and understanding how to work around children’s preferences and physical, verbal, and auditory needs can help behaviors without the use of physical punishment.
