Dear Jane,
I’ve just read the preview of your book. I especially liked the quotes on “being” or “becoming”. I have been searching for resources such as a guide book or journal to help a child engage in what/who they are from the inside out…instead of the outside in. I’ve read some of achievement.org, Steven Covey, Sean Covey (7 habits for happy kids), made a mind map: (http://www.slideshare.net/shhg/my-journey-2960962 ) years ago when my children were small. I would like to see/find/make something that focuses on the becoming …that doesn’t focus on the “what kind of lover are you” but rather “what kind of person would you like to become…area. Just sharing as perhaps t may spark some idea. It’s a large topic…for that matter it’s a large world. Would like to find a practical…way to simplify choices that kids can make…in a way that it matters to them. I’ve read and even bought a “diary” for my daughters friend as a b-day gift…but as some of the questions inside were like “what boy do you like at school” …etc… I would think boys and girls should be able to explore their “humanity” from the inside out…without the sexual innuendo however much a part of sex is in human life ….love happens…I don’t believe it need be the focus of their journals? …Thank you for your bold statement and courage in writing this book (I’ve only read the preview so far and it is fantastic) Hoping someone has the resources to follow it up with a journal <3 Thank you.
