The Panther Experience & Quiz
This article marks the start of a process for launching Reach Society’s Panther Experience (or PE) for the benefit of the modern Black community (or MBC). This idea comes from the desire by Reach Society’s leadership team (or LT) to use the time during social distancing to maximise the benefits to the children in the MBC.
In debating this matter the LT discovered a good deal about the backgrounds in which they were raised, and they shared information about the environments they had created for the raising or nurturing of their own children. The outcome of this debate led to the identification of a set of groups for describing their experiences.
The leadership team has chosen to call its findings the Panther Experience, and the groups the Panther Groups.
The five distinct Panther Groups are defined hereby:
A Panther family is a home in which both mum and dad are engaged in the emotional, social and intellectual (or ESI) development of the children, from birth through to adulthood.
A Panther mum is a home in which just mum is engaged in the ESI development of the children.
A Panther dad is a home in which just dad is engaged in the ESI development of the children.
A Panther spirit is a home in which the children are self-taught as neither of the parents or carers are engaged in their ESI development (they provide food and shelter, but not much more).
A Panther community is a home in which many different people or carers are engaged in the ESI development of the children.
