Within moments of making the home ed choice, a blazing and beautiful doorway opened for me. This was the doorway of saying Yes! to the kids. Being fully available for them in the daytimes to me sums up what we're doing here. Running with questions they may have, holding them when they want to be held, an immediacy to responding to their cues making parenting less of a head-jam and more of a living-in-the-moment bliss.
Because no matter how wildly my (left-sided) brain likes to dominate, forge forwards, solve problems, create order, control, limit and understand, immediate needs within the family space bring me right into this space, here and now and this is the greatest gift any human being can give to another, time, attention and presence.
