Well, yes on the strewing thing. I agree that it's very natural to point out
things that might interest your children (Dh and I do it all the time for
each other) and if the point is just to share life with each other, it's
fine!!
I like to think that instead of focusing on the love of learning, we're just
focusing on living a joyful, interesting life together. But the outcome of
that IS a love of learning......
And so on.
And I believe it was Betty that said if we aren't hung up on the outcome
phrase.
