Dear Benjamin Parnell,

I am in full agreement with your five pillars. I believe they are fundamental not only to inclusion, but to the broader flourishing of a child’s life. Within each of them, I think we find principles that are self-evident, grounded in truth and human need.

The real challenge, as you know, is not whether these are right, but how we embed them meaningfully within a system not always built to support them.

Thank you for articulating them so clearly.

Best wishes,

Ben F. Sparks

Which of these presents the biggest opportunity for improvement in fostering inclusion?

Such an interesting question. I think we really need to invest more time in what I’m now going to call the Big Three (sleep, exercise, and diet). Of course the other two are also super important. BUT these three are absolutely fundamental to life! Also three areas I’m super invested in personally.

The big three are a simple life equation for fulfilment. And if we’re serious about inclusion, we need to treat them as core business, not optional extras. I’ll be honest, I’m not doing enough on this yet. Time to formulate a plan…
