Speaking and writing (thoughtfully)
When people speak without thinking, they're speaking thoughtlessly.
Very literally so.
When people write without thinking, they're writing thoughtlessly. No sense arguing about that. It's just better to work on being thoughtful. |

Language and thoughts
Watch your language, because then you wlll see thought processes you might not have seen otherwise.

Watch your thoughts, because without doing that you can't really learn to choose better reactions.

If you want to avoid learning, it's best not to look, or read, or wonder.
Don't even click links.

Joy and flow
"Where joy is, you will find learning. Where joy is, you will find flow."
Parent paragraph of that above—all Clare's words:
"I see lots of reasons for NOT limiting my kids' time on the computer or game playing or watching tv or knitting or reading or playing with barbies or playdough or baking or anything. Those reasons are that where joy is, you will find learning. Where joy is, you will find flow. These are all things we want to *help* our children do *if* that is what they want because we want them to learn. I could, if I wanted to, name many, many things that my children would *not* be doing if I had limited their time doing the things they love, including being on the computer and gaming."

Principles over rules
Once one is living by principles, it's nearly impossible to make a move that's contrary to those principles. It doesn't happen overnight, but it's much different than just changing from one set of rules to another.

Transformations
Choices have transformed our lives. Limitations do not transform lives. They limit lives.
