Parenting For Humanity Blog

This week we will be talking about being able to see the perspective of the world from our child’s eyes…but I thought in the meantime, I’d get you thinking about your own perspective.

Somehow every summer I have these big dreams that are so unrealistic and yet I have a hard time letting them go. I’m going to catch up on all my paperwork, do all the spring maintenance on the house, plan tons of fun connecting family activities, and just relax by the pool. Yeah, right. Are you like me in that you have overly high expectations of the summer? (I’ve been writing about this on my personal blog). I know I just need to get a different perspective — but it’s something that is practically impossible to do, at least for me, without tossing ideas around with other people.

We are almost out of questions to answer on the radio show, plus we will be choosing the next batch of topics and we need to know what you want to hear about! So I will ask you this – what is really getting in the way right now for you? What issue do you need to see in a different light, to get some ideas for tools to get unstuck? Is it making more personal time without compromising the needs of your family? Is it getting more sleep? More communication?

Let us know what feels stuck to you. Comment here, or if you prefer, email us at parentingforhumanity@gmail.com and tell us what name you would like to be identified by if we use your question on the show. And, please feel free to reply to people’s questions with ideas of your own – we want this to be a community discussion, not a top-down one, and all of you have a wealth of knowledge to share. (It’s so much easier to brainstorm ideas for others than oneself, isn’t it?)

Lastly, please consider calling into the show – Thursdays at 9 PST / noon EST. We’d love your comments, questions, and meanderings. No need to be formal or nervous – chat with us!! (646) 716-8259. (Remember we can’t hear you at all until we put you on the air, usually about 1/2 way through the show, but you are welcome to listen in from your phone until then).
