I am in discussions with a friend new to her homeschooling journey who has many questions about RU. She recently asked me how our life is different from "permissive" and and"un" parenting as she has witnessed those models and been horrified with the "results". We live an ocean apart so she cannot see our family in action. I will send her here to read your post as you have found the words that I could not summon. Just wanted to say thanks for this.

It's a business book, but it generally says what you're describing here. "Win-win" they call it in business. I be curious what you think of this book in regards to what you wrote today.
