stigskog Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Hej Stefan ! I'm not sure if you have heard of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, but I think you would find him very interesting to talk to, and I think your listeners would enjoy hearing that as well. He did some talks at GHEC2012, which can be found here http://www.ghec2012.org/cms/content/why-home-education-works-explanations-developmental-science Here is the presentation that goes with the talk http://www.ghec2012.org/cms/sites/default/files/Neufeld_Preconference%20EN.pdf Here is a quote from his speech. "The child needs to rest from the pursuit of proximity. Who's responsibility is that ? It is our responsibility ? Our Responsibility is to do the work of attachement so that a child can rest. We now know in developmental science that all growth eminates from a place of rest, not work. Physical growth happens when a child is sleeping. All emotional growth happens from the resting state. So children need to be at rest, but they will only rest from the pursuit of contact and closeness from love and belonging from significance if we provide more than is pursued."
