In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep it to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don't try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.

New Ideas

New ideas about parenting and schooling interest us. I don't know much about these yet, but they seem interesting to me.

Radical Unschooling - thorough unschooling
Consensual Living - where all members of the family are considered equal
Roots of Empathy - a programme that incorporates babies in classrooms in hopes to reduce bullying
