[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 306379, member: 3704"] Susie, Thanks for posting this link. I read the article a couple of days ago, and I am still mulling it over. I do believe that the theory is sound, and I'm a huge fan of Carl Rogers. This approach requires a great deal of restraint from a parent, and really runs counter to most parenting advice you see these days. In another way, though, it takes an enormous emotional load away from a parent! I know that motivation must ultimately come from within an individual. I do not believe that it can be created or coerced. My experience with my own sons and with my co-workers has definitely shown me that! I was fascinated with the article and followed up the links about the educator referenced within the article. He's an amazing fellow. I have to say , I definitely agree with him - especially his ideas about the ridulous ways that homework is currently used in our school systems. The sad state of our schools cannot be denied. Very, very interesting ideas! Valerie [/QUOTE]
