I wonder if we have problems relating to others who don't share our belief
system or our life/unschooling/gentle parenting philosophies because we are
being too judgemental.

If you would have seen me 5 years ago as the president of my kids PTO, what
would you have thought?

People generally need to find their own way to something. Just as we
believe we don't need to "teach" our children and they will learn what they
need
when they need it - perhaps we need to extend that same philosophy and
gentleness to the world.

I know of few circumstances where my judgemental attitude was helpful to
anyone, and kharmacally (sp???) speaking, it wasn't good for me either.

Instead of saying, "wow, what a loser", how about a deep breath and a silent
wish for them to find peace for themselves and their children?

Just a thought,
Linda S.


This was good for me to read...thank you Linda, for this perspective.
