You are so right. We don't trust ourselves (or God, IMO) anymore. We trust strangers who don't know our children to tell us what to do. Thanks for stopping by. Well put! You are so right.

If only more people trusted in nature/God...if plants decided that they'd got it wrong, and that buds needed pushing to maturity and removed the protection, they'd all die out. But plants are sensible enough to trust that the way they've evolved/been created works. For some reason, we humans find it really hard to trust that our children will grow up if we don't push them. Instead, like the plants, we should be offering them everything they need *until they're ready* to be independent. Thanks for commenting on my blog. Cx What a lovely post!

It's not hard but too long to go into here. Oh my, even more?? That's amazing to me. Hopefully most have read it and not implemented it. I hope for the children's sake. BTW, the post you linked to about perfection was amazing. Thanks! I’ll send you a note about how I did the counter. It’s not hard but too long to go into here.

The link with my name will take you there. As if you haven't read it all already : ) How did you get your site counter in the side bar? I can't figure that out. And actually, it's 450,000. I looked it up to make sure I wasn't disseminating false information. Not to mention the fact that the book is available free online and who knows how many have downloaded it. Some, like me, may have it for intentions other than implementation, but I doubt that is the norm...especially for the purchased copies. OK, I think I’m here, too.

I will be much more understanding...and now I wonder how you have time to feed your family :) Thanks for the link. I read it once and will read it again later. Great food for thought there. There are so many good dissections of their materials going on right now. (400,000 huh?...) And I'm so glad I at least rank above the phone company. That means a lot. Steph--good to "see" you!

It was just a silly on my part cause I went to the other one first...it's like the menus when trying to contact the phone company....but not nearly as frustrating and much nicer once I got here. Remember, I'm on dial-up, so one page move IS work for me : ) Did you read the discussion going over on choosing home? It has been wonderful and very inspiring to me. http://www.choosinghome.com/blog/?p=190 Thanks…and yeah, I found you.
