The Two Adult Job: when the
whole village doesnt raise a child
Children do not arrive with a parent's manual or a job description. Two adults are
required for effective parenting. Each adult must be able to perform multiple tasks on short notice, establish long range plans with flexible options, maintain
standards while adjusting performance requirements to individual capabilities, consistently interpret rules and policy to specific and non-conforming situations, and provide entertaining events that safely
challenge the intellect and stimulate adventure. All these tasks are added to their "real" jobs and social responsibilities. This workshop will
identify a simplifying task for parents and celebrate the gifts of parenting. |
