Ram...Thanks so much for the comments and feedback.<br /><br />Ramona, I so agree with what you said about the pain involved with healing and truth...I see that more clearly all the time, it seems. I'm glad you're going to re-read the book - and I'll look forward to our future conversations about it.<br /><br />Flora, thanks for saying what you did. Like you, I seriously don't for a second think that this is what my parents were thinking of. Despite the best of intentions, I'm a firm believer that we all (including our parents) parent our children the way we ourselves were parented, unless we're deliberate and conscious of choosing a different path. I'll be interested to know what you think of Neufeld's book. As profound as the book was/is for me, I admit that I think it could have been put together/organized better in parts...though I understand that he was sharply curtailed by his editors in what he was allowed to include. That's why I'm finding these parenting classes so valuable. Anyway, look forward to further discussion on this stuff...and about h/schooling.<br /><br />Blessings all,<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-77759699146595581142010-11-02T18:15:05.086-05:002010-11-02T18:15:05.086-05:00I gotta say, I love this whole new idea of attachm...I gotta say, I love this whole new idea of attachment parent your child, whether they be adopted or biological...but it is so hard to navigate and contrary to how I was raised! I KNOW my parents were not thinking about whether or not my sisters and I were properly attached...you just parented your kids. I am half way through Gordon Nuefeld's book, and so far I am really enjoying it for the most part. The subject of peer attachment really rings true with me as it was one of the main reasons I wanted to homeschool, before we even heard of the term! It sounds like you are doing a great job Ruth!<br /><br />FloraFloranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-88880148401180389742010-11-02T12:03:28.362-05:002010-11-02T12:03:28.362-05:00Wow.

When we want the best for our kids, sometimes I think we forget what that is for each child and these kind of moments kick us in the stomach and yet bring healing and truth. <br /><br />And you have confirmed what I've been thinking the past few days- I need to re-read that book again!<br /><br />Ramona<br />(I do plan to reply to your email soon too!)Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543009756679073312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-24247340516516520392010-11-01T09:02:50.849-05:002010-11-01T09:02:50.849-05:00Thanks, Darci - but you're far too kind.

It feels like I'm on a huge growth curve about my parenting these days - I'm learning so much from these parenting classes, and from the reading that led up to the classes, but I'm so often stuck now between the way I USED to do things as a mom, and the ways I WANT to do things now. I'm finding it tough, and I mess up all the time.<br /><br />The example I shared in this post is where I'm headed.<br /><br />Wonder why parenting is so hard at times??!!<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-32697773768197880502010-11-01T07:17:22.248-05:002010-11-01T07:17:22.248-05:00oh ruth...SUCH a good mom!! thanks for sharing thi...oh ruth...SUCH a good mom!! thanks for sharing this. you reminded me today of being that sort of mom..the importance of making them feel heard and accepted AS IS,,yes, as we all long to be. thanks for sharing. darcidarcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729565512380024608noreply@blogger.com
