And some things don't lend themselves well to trial and error or the shotgun solution approach.greengirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897315716330033528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865362691562112420.post-6970866575648731392012-02-06T11:20:05.887-05:002012-02-06T11:20:05.887-05:00Your sounds sounds very much like my oldest daught...Your sounds sounds very much like my oldest daughter and I do always worry about her.

I find that I am happiest when I am pushed in different, more creative ways, than some of more traditional structured ways I am continually trying to fit into. Like you I also crave containment. Perhaps the perfect containment is different than I invision. I'll have to mull that over. <br /><br />Your son sounds just amazing! <br /><br />Love,<br />SerenitySerenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885913777602699200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865362691562112420.post-5677124986528358052012-02-04T12:20:38.497-05:002012-02-04T12:20:38.497-05:00It's all about balance...if a part is given to...It's all about balance...if a part is given too much weight, it topples over.

And sometimes you have to grit your teeth and let someone flounder for a while until they can find the right footing for them.agoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620077077536411233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865362691562112420.post-75386172127808174612012-02-04T10:08:34.229-05:002012-02-04T10:08:34.229-05:00That's something I've struggled with for a...That's something I've struggled with for a long time. I operate largely on my intuition -- but I <i>know</i> it's not always right. So I go through this maddening routine of checking and double-checking myself on a fairly regular basis. ("intuition - OFF, logic - ON")<br /><br />I'm not sure the intense scrutiny helps much but it's the best compromise I've found so far.Jzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301793291285112859noreply@blogger.com
