Very inspiring work. I have a question for you Arun. You may not have experienced your children in a school setting but you may have some ideas. Our 8 yo/old daughter is having trouble at school with bitchiness. Girls, who deal with the stress of deficient creativity and affection (my opinion) by 'picking on' other girls. How do I help my girl who is dealing with an unwholey mix of task oriented learning and unnatural socialising with too many children all the same age? My eldest has sorted it by observing the behaviour for 3 years and is now very philisophical. He understands many of the games and allows them to 'be' while continuing to be himself. We spoke a few times about the stress the other children must be under and about forgiveness. I think this helped him. As Brynn is so talented, passionate and incredibly feminine, she is unable to extract herself from her feelings this way and is suffering a hardening of the heart I've never witnessed. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Thanks Arun for recommending it to me - it just makes so much sense. I'm excited because it's now also available as an audio book on CD from Pam's site. I've placed my order!
