Thanks to homeschool mums Wendy & Marion for telling us about Patty Wilpfer’s Hand in Hand site. Click here to read her article Being “In Control”– The Possible and Impossible in Parenting, which we have just added to our site.
Patty Wilpfler’s writing covers broad topics often pitched for a mainstream audience and has several recurring themes. These include letting go of control, focussing on connection with your child, allowing healthy “releases” in yourself and your children and more.
I find that much of her writing rings true with the path we aspire towards… and i particular like her attention and compassion to the parent as well as the child. If you are feeling inadequate or guilty about your parenting… her articles are a good place to go.
In this article she outlines concrete ideas to shift paradigms and say “I’m learning, not controlling”.
Have a read of the article and follow the link at the bottom to the rest of her site… guaranteed it is well worth the trip.
