"
Along with the fact that we simply do not have the community, the village, the supportive social milieu that our indigenous sisters had, another major factor contributing to the exhaustion of parents is the fact that many of us have become accustomed to an incredible degree of freedom to pursue our own personal interests--from personal growth workshops and pursuits through furthering our education and career; and an extraordinarily high level of material comforts. Perhaps we can have all of these things, but we may need to do with a little less in some areas, for a limited time, if we are to provide our children with the care and attention that optimizes their emotional, cognitive, and social development. While all parents may not feel able and willing to devote a portion of their lives in this way to their children, it is important that we do not pretend that it makes no difference."

  1. Fantástico! Ainda não li tudo mas concordo em absoluto! Acerca do conforto material que nos rodeia acredito que nos mata, não só fisicamente (é só observar um qualquer documentário em que homens de 50 anos têm um corpo de 20 anos e uma destreza e força brutal e as mulheres, mesmo franzinas, parecem autênticas amazonas) como a nível mental e emocional. Penso que todas as mulheres deveriam ler o que partilhas para depois mostrarem aos companheiros.
    Muito obrigada pela partilha! :)

  2. Flor de Lima, vim reler a frase (porque são vários os dias em que maldigo a vida pelo conforto material que não tenho) e encontrei este teu comentário. Apesar de estar 100% segura de que temos mais do que necessitamos e de que as sociedades modernas (ou pós-modernas ou hipermodernas ou o que lhes queiram chamar) estão assentes em princípios e práticas que não são o garante do bem estar, da felicidade e nem sequer da perpetuação da espécie, continuo a esquecer o essencial e a ter dias tristes e de angústia pois, muitas vezes, por não conseguir ter, não sei o que sou. Ainda bem que, de vez em quando, venho aqui ler o que partilho. Obrigada por não deixares que me sinta sozinha :)
