Unified Individuality — Finding New Family Rhythms
Okay, parents, so you’ve had a bit of time to get used to this 24 / 7 shared space thing. It’s pretty crazy, right? Maybe you started with schedules and activities. Then, that fell away.
Next came the onslaught of suddenly new and free internet content. And you were scrambling to see all the “lives” and “tours” and “shows.” Cool. There’s so much to do online!
A good bit of it was there before the pandemic. A good bit of it will be there after the pandemic.
Have you considered that now is a good time to step back? Because not only is this virus healing the world, right now, it’s inviting us to heal ourselves.
Our society always asks us to measure our worth in relation to our productivity. If you are a parent, all too often, you have been trained to look at your child as a product. The factory is your house. The bosses are the grown-ups. How your “product” turns out is due to flaws in your manufacturing process. The contractors (school) didn’t deliver “the right education.” The contractors (their friends) were faulty products which damaged your goods (children.) The construction team (government, economy, etc.) skimped on your resources. If the products (young adults) are unfit for consumption by industry, then the factory is to blame.
