  1. Awesome resources Marla. I have several of the "What to expect…" books. When I had my 1st and 2nd daughters, I referred to them often. Now that I have four daughter, I haven't looked through them in a while. Sometimes I believe I could write my own "What to Expect…from a mommy's point of view."

  2. Marla,
    How insightful of you to infuse intuition and mindfulness into your blog posts regarding ethics. It seems many of us in the course are choosing ethics and ideals that speak to the value of uniqueness and a child’s potential.
    I absolutely adore your statement: “You want to be the adult that the child can depend on for a life-long trusting relationship” and want to highlight LIFE-LONG TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP. I think positive interactions with children (families), even if briefly will help to build on these types of relationships.

    Here’s how I sum up the info you’ve blogged about- in my own “unique” way with my own “unique” thought process: Relational trust, intuition, and mindfulness can = lifelong trust for oneself creating a circle of reciprocity that lends to healthier communities. Healthier people = healthier communities= healthier people.

    (I had to post this as anonymous. I couldn't figure out how else to comment.)
