Parenting (Part VI). Frontiers Friday #160 ⭕️

My perennial list of what I want my kids to learn... and knowing that I will fail.

Thanks for reading Frontiers of Psychotherapist Development (FPD) and our weekly newsletter, Frontiers Friday (FF). If you are new here, learn about me, the About Page and our “Grand Plan” overview post.

These missives are meant to be what Lewis Hyde describes as true “Gifts.” What this “Gift” concept means for me is that

1. Nothing is expected out of you.

2. I hope you receive it.

3. I hope this animates and transforms you.

4. I hope you spread the love to others.

Here’s the final Part VI of the Parenting series. Since the first recommendation goes deep, the others are sketchnotes I’ve done in the last few years related to this topic.

If you’ve missed the previous five, feel free to go back.

5. ⏸️ Words Worth Contemplating:
   “What if we thought of the family less as the determining influence by which we are formed and more the raw material from which we can make a life?"
   ~ Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul,1992, p.30

Reflection:

If you have kids, what goes into your list of things you want your children to learn?

Notice Board:

1. Earlier in this year, Scott Miller and I did a series of webinars for the first 100 people who pre-ordered the book. This is now made available to you! We reviewed the book, answer questions, and offer special tips for getting the most out of your reading.
   Watch.
