Daily Groove Readers  

post #1 of 47
Thread Starter 
Anybody who would like to be part of a daily groove reader's group.

If you are interested, sign-up here to receive daily emails.

I thought if at least 5 people were interested we could each take a day and talk about...
What the info means to us personally.
How we might or might not use the info.
Whether we agree or have differing opinions.

Lurve - Mondays
PassionateWriter - Wednesday
Stickywicket67 - Thursday
Inochizo - Fridays

Yep, I feel like I can read them, if I keep up on them but even then sometimes I just don't process all the information. If I have a group of people to talk about, it would be helpful.
Yeah, A Daily Groove Readers Tribe

I'm in! I love how the emails are short and to the point but sometimes I don't absorb as much from them as I would talking with others about the topic.

So we have more than 5 people. We can rotate weeks. We still need Tuesdays and then the people who haven't picked a day pick one for the week after next. I started a list on the orginal post of the days you picked.

Well, it's Friday so I am going to get this thing going.

Today's Email Title "Path of least Resistance"

This is a very philosophical email. I like it a lot though because it talks about rain on the window which is pretty easy to observe here in the NW and it is a rainy morning.

I think this post will be impossible for me today but I can try to go with the flow as much as possible. We have so many things planned today. I think I will just try to not worry about time and getting it all done and that will allow things to flow better. As adults we so often go from point to point to point that taking a different path as directed by our children just feels so wrong. It doesn't mean that you won't get to what you need but it may be slower. For example, last night DS wanted to walk on the wall outside the restaurant we went to. We just wanted to go in and eat. Another example was my daughter wanted to play in the car before we left the restaurant. I let her play for a bit but we were all waiting. Finally, I blew that drop a little and gave till the count of 10 before I helped her into the carseat. She went pretty easily by that time. I think it is difficult to go with the flow completely but may be we should all plan a day every week where we don't have any plans, or very few and really allow the flow to happen as much as possible.

i have been trying not to be resistant to DD's night time wakings. she will push on my back as her way of saying "get up" and usually i have always first tried to say "it's nighttime let's try and go back to sleep." it has never worked. none of what i said ever worked. so as i am re-reading byron katie and trying to just be in the moment, instead of thinking "she should be asleep" i realize that is not THE reality. the reality is, she is getting up and i might as well get up happily with her instead of having her cry because i am trying to get her to do something she will not do. though it hasn't meant any more sleep for me, i can see where she tells i am being more responsive and true to her. (see my thread in nightime parenting of "you know you have a crappy sleeper when" )

Here's a question for everybody. Do you think that you can go with the flow without being mostly child centered. DS is so strong and sensitive that I feel like I lose my self and my needs sometimes.
