I wonder why our society has taken so long to see children as people. We need to help them and gently guide them through childhood. Let them tell us and show us who they are rather than us telling them who they should be.<BR/>I feel sick to my stomach when I think of how children have been raised in our country and how some still are raised. We are a violent people in both thought and deed and nobody has paid the price more than children have.<BR/>No hitting, no yelling, no verbal assaults of any kind,no isolating, no mental or emotional abuse ever. Children are a blessing and they are to be loved always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-80192522477282297402007-05-01T19:27:00.000-08:002007-05-01T19:27:00.000-08:00He totally has children.

I think the oldest is around 11? <BR/><BR/>I was just checking back to see if there were any comments on this, since I'm thinking about it after my recent posts. I'm not doing an official UP review, but most of my ideas come from that book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-32010509605870430872007-04-18T13:44:00.000-08:002007-04-18T13:44:00.000-08:00I love Alfie Kohn, I do.

I wonder how well he would implement his philosophies if he did.Adriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762332516811224660noreply@blogger.com
