This is so important and powerful. We are always told that children need to comply or else we as parents are failing.

We lived as a family in crisis that way - but once we understood that choice, and low demands made for a happier life for all. So many teachers& professionals just don't get it. I look back now with sadness of what we all went through.

I will send this to everyone I know that comes into contact with us as a family and in particular my daughter. Thank you for writing about it so eloquently.
