I ran across a couple of great posts on teaching children to love the standard. This whole idea really resonates with me because I tend to be rigid. That is my bent. I have to learn to parent in this way and often that means going against the grain and my own first insticts. You should check them out. I hope they encourage you as much as they have me.

And just a disclaimer: if you think the writer is advocating for crazy, disobedient, "free" kids, then you've missed the point. You might want to read them again.

Tasha,
ReplyDeleteHaven't read it. But if I come across a copy, then I definitely will take a look. You should do a book review on your blog! I hope you're doing well and resting your belly when you can. Great hearing from you.
