re: expectations of others
[email protected]
thanks Lucy in Ca.
By the way, I have a Lucy, she is seven and was thrilled
to see a note to Mommy from another Lucy. Thanks for your
wisdom. I tend to get militant when I feel insecure, not
a very appealing personality trait. I am also learning to
relax about our unschooling choices and learn from people
around me with a little more mileage on the journey. I want
my kids to direct their own learning. What do you do to turn
down the outside volume so that you can hear your own inner
voice? I appreciate anyone's input on not allowing other
people's expectations dictate their lives, educational choices
or philosophies. Thanks so much.

Teresa,
Yes, I know this feeling and reaction, too! So you have a Lucy...tell
her hello from another Lucy. I was named after my grandmother, my mom's mom.
You asked about turning down the outside volume to hear your own
voice...I believe that we do have a core sense within us of what we truly
believe. One way that I keep that voice clear is by writing regularly in my
journal, as I have done for years. I also make time to read books and
articles by people whose opinions I respect and whose beliefs are similar to
my own. I also read differing points of view but when you are doing
something which differs significantly from the mainstream, I think you need
at least equal time in exposure to those who share your beliefs so that you
don't feel isolated from the rest of humanity. This list has been one of my
biggest sources for that reassurance and support.
When I read things that ring true, that have a certain sound that I
believe in, it gives me a sense of peace and connection to others. That
gives me strength when talking with others who may strongly disagree.
Best Wishes on your own journey...
Lucy in Calif.

I tend to get militant when I feel insecure, not
environment when we feel insecure or threatened. I think it's instinct.
