 The below remided me of the first essay  from David Albert's Homeschooling and the Voyage of Self-Discovery  It can be vieewed here http://www.skylarksings.com/readessay.php?id=5%c2%a0
Talks about kids as Distinguished Visitors who need help with social cues, among other things, and our job as hosts is to do just that, with the understanding that they will not do everything the way that we do because they are different people from a different time.  I loved reading this and it's such a good reminder of what our role is and should be.
Peace,
