Have any of you read this book?
It seemed to make some of the different perspectives y'all share "click" for
me.
The phrase "old tapes" comes up sometimes.
This book really explained how to identify those buttons (old tapes playing)
that get pushed and detach myself from it. Identify what exactly about this
behavior or situation upsets me and work backward from the source within
myself.
.........in other words....*I* am the one that needs to change my
perspective.
Boundaries are healthy. Unschooling doesn't mean that there aren't still
principles and boundaries at work in the family dynamic. The book wasn't
specifically an unschooling book and of course there are some things you'll
want to take and some you'll want to leave but I would totally recommend it
as a good resource to begin examining yourself if that's something you are
working on.

Just wanted to share~
