How can we know IF we're doing the very best we
can for them if we aren't questioning every move we make and worry so
much about how our children will turn out ?
Questioning is what brought me to unschooling. Questioning is what enabled
me to have two out of hospital births.
Questioning is how we learn.

Yep!
And if it built character to have disrespect and tough situations doled out
to you by your parents, then abused kids should be the most prepared for
difficulties in life.
We know that the exact opposite is true.

Children that are loved and nurtured deeply are the best prepared to deal
with life.
