I'm in! I've read it once already, but that was a while ago, so I'd love to give it a more in-depth go-around. Great idea, btw.

Ok, well start reading tomorrow, the 21st, then. We can talk here throughout the week about it, but we'll come back on the 27-29th and discuss the intoduction and Chapter 1 in depth, okay? Don't forget to subscribe to this thread!

I would love to...though it's a busy week to hunt down a copy. I'll either join in on time or catch up by the second week

I just ordered my book last night (amazon 2 day), but we will be traveling until the second. I'll read it, though, and post as soon as I can. I'm really excited about this (dh is, too.)

Such a great book. I just finished it (for the second time) a couple weeks ago. I plan to buy it the next time I'm in the mood to read it.

Count me in.

I'd love to join too, but I'll have to start next week with chapter 2. I'm madly trying to finish making some gifts, and then there will be a lot of visiting this week.

I read the Introduction this morning, and here's what stuck out to me so far:

"What are you LONG TERM objectives for your children? What word or phrase comes to mind to describe how you'd like them to turn out, what you want them to be like when they're grown?"


"Are my everyday practices likely to produce that outcome?"

My answer to question #2 is no, unfortunately. I tend to yell or hurry or just say no, quite often

My answer to question #1 is this:

I want my kids to be fulfilled, content, challengers of the status-quo, creative, kind, loving, intelligent, mindful, brave people.

Another thing that stood out is that when kids obey mindlessly (as my DS sometimes does) they are likely to loose their sense of self

I can attest to that, as that happened to me, growing up. Anyone else started reading yet?

I'd love to join you! ( sgmom)

I read it when my LO was a tiny babe. Now that she actually moves around and has her own ideas about lots of things, it's worth a re-read, I'm sure!!!
