Dear Friends,
Thank you for your support and interest so far.
When I had first emailed our contacts the blog link, I had asked if there was an energy around opening up this space to our children. I have had many calls and emails encouraging me to do so. I would like to open up a discussion around this in the blog.
Yes, I personally agree that this space can be a bridge only if we hear from our children and vice versa. But are we ready to hear what they have to say? I must admit, I am a wee bit scared of hearing a few things which might make us uncomfortable. But thats the whole point of this blog and I say, let's go for it.
What do you think? Any ideas?

Yeah Manju - go for it.I will invite my daughter in and she will forward it on to her friends. I suggest that when a parent posts or comments, we follow our name with P (parent).
ReplyDeleteI think this has great potential. I just loved your first post. Made a lot of sense to me. Lets move this around sooner than later.

I'm all for opeining this up to our children. I am hoping that the "you dont understand me" cry reduces if Tom gets an opportunity to say what he wants to and knowing how little he says and how much time he spends online, I think this might just be the answer.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching this space!!

I feel that we should never be scared to hear the point of view of our kids. By not hearing a problem does not mean that the problem does not exist. We should always give an opportunity to our kids to express their view point and then try to bridge the differences with them. We should always understand that kids have equal difficulty in understanding our point of view. So rather than our kids blogging separetly and trying to sort out how to deal with us, its better that we use this space as a coomon platform to sort out our differences.
