I am sleep very well right now…it is so vital to healing

Autonomy makes me very happy to have been born into it’s freedom – grateful

It can also mean having a sense of self….trainers refer to 2 year old behavior and much of teenage behavior as having an “autonomy fit” in other words they are learning how to be themselves ( and often not really attacking their parents, rather just using very noisy words and ideas to inform us of their growth)

Gaining self understanding…it is hard to not engage but necessary if one wants to remain connected

Without it all else can get messed up, even if all other needs are being met beyond our wildest expectations. In fact, adequate sleep was listed as the sumber ONE requsiite for a happy and productive person in some survey or another I read. I am so glad you got to have 7 hours of good rest and hope you get much more of the same on a regular basis. And autonomy - FREEDOM. We take this sooo for granted in our society, while too much of the world is opressed by their "leaders."

I love the post again! "We are all need based carbon (units) beings with unique styles too" I like the way you express this human nature. A great book is called "Affective Teenage Parenting" for others here. I can't remember the author right now. The teenager the adult-infant I heard it called once. I know I lived through it a bunch. I have four boys youngest 16. When my youngest turned thirteen I thought I'd die he has always been so sweet and kind and then it happened and you would think I would be a pro at this by now him being the fourth. But it was differnt somehow and yet not. I often remind myself this too shall pass it did with the others. The tension of the teens passed and things settled down. I'd love to share your work on a site I am member of this post in particular. Is that OK with you? Email me if you can about this. Appreciate your works here, Diane Hi Patricia!

I am attempting to do a mini series here on Nonviolent Communications and compassionate communications...step by step, because I could not have gotten through those teen years without it....son is having autonomy fit and you are trying to be a good parent and stay connected....The whole series puts the pieces together. I am also trying to get parenting folks to purchase the whole workbook, because it is amazing. Then people could email me questions or examples (a workshop) and I could help work it through. My example for Monday's post is just an example of teenage boy moodiness and mom working it through. Dynamic vital stuff Tammy/Cricket,

That they just want to be heard is oh so right on...I worked at an ice cream store in high school - my boss made that the best lesson he taught me - it took me awhile to learn to control my urge to join in, especially with my youngest child - I just had to learn it all over again when she was a teen! Thank you for your words of "Great Post" I needed to hear that today! Barbara,
