Your text about taking a trip with M and dealing with challenges lead me to look at more info on your site. I never chat or blog, but I have to tell you that you are good writers. I was a technical writer for over 20 years and can't help catching typos and grammar and ugh other writing problems, but your wording was concise and real and thought provoking. I got sucked into several pages. I am a special ed assistant and I printed off part of the comments to help remind me that kids need encouragement and love. I just have to figure out how to make sure that at the same time they understand the "socially unacceptable behavior" issues. I try to condition them to use polite words, words instead of fists, etc. thank you for your info! I was looking for simple Mendhi designs our church kids might be able to replicate.

I found it through a person on a yahoo group called Always Unschooled. I am an attachment parent, as in that is my dominate style, but am moving forward to the whole non-coersive parenting style quickly. I like having my assumptions challenged. I'm a way older mom. Our child is five and I am fifty two and husband Jim is 48. It is great to be a parent at this life stage and I love it more than I think I could have when I was in my twenties or thirties.

Happy to see another dad spending time at home with kids in a loving way. I was introduced to 'aware parenting' in a masters degree - Social Ecology, where strong connections are made with our society's childrearing styles to the present condition of the world. So I get really excited to see people like yourself and others contributing, to have the courage to parent differently to the dominant culture for a better future for all. Parenting is a powerful form of activism. cheers Brett Great site, it shows your authenticity to share and learn.
