How Children Teach Themselves

Tamarack’s upcoming book Blossoming the Child: Native-inspired Ways of Unparenting and Encouraging Childwisdom is a cache for insight into a child’s natural ability to fulfill his own growth and lifepath. This particular chapter discusses a child’s ability to teach himself through observing others, trial and error, and taking responsibility for himself and his actions at a very early age. This chapter also discusses how a parent’s or adult’s actions, well-intended though they may be, can infringe upon a child’s self-development. Thus begins a lesson in unparenting -- how to better listen to your child’s needs and learning desires, as well as how to guide him/her in a positive manner, without counteracting your child’s natural process.

*Excerpt...* The following is a dialogue between Tamarack Song and a friend asking for parenting advice for his “rambunctious” toddler: “Become your child.” “What?” "Become your child. If you were her, you'd probably be able to see that she’s only doing what comes naturally. What could be wrong with that?" "She'll kill herself; that's all." "And you need to keep her from doing that. In doing so, you're coming from the assumption that she has to change, and you have to protect her, right?" "I guess so." "Perhaps there is another option. If you were able to become your child and see the world from her vantage point--crawl where she crawls, explore with her fingers--I bet you will see a very different world than the one from where you are now standing. And I would wager further that the way you feel about your daughter and relate to her will change dramatically.”	$4 - ebook version By purchasing the ebook you will not pay any postage charges and you will be able to download it to your computer instantaneously after your payment.
