There must be room for mistakes in the learning environment.Krystalhttp://www.sweetelephants.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-88698067982013692412014-01-31T16:11:15.069-08:002014-01-31T16:11:15.069-08:00I have had children with such bad separation anxie...I have had children with such bad separation anxiety that they cry all day for days. The worst one I ever had cried every day until Christmas, though not all day, eventually. At what point does this become suffering, if ever? I should point out that the girl who cried every day until Christmas went to kindergarten without batting an eyelash, so she did learn, but I was very close to calling it quits with her. I'm glad I didn't.

Nelson Mandala wouldn't've been the man he was without the jail.<br />I have Crohn's disease and Fibro. I know suffering. I know lying in the bed wanting to die, waiting to die.<br />It's taught me things too. It's taught me to treasure the small moments. It's taught me to be efficient with my spoons. (Google "The Spoon Theory".) It's taught me that some things are worth the pain you see coming. In some ways, it's taught me to be more cautious, in some ways more impulsive and brave.<br />There is learning in suffering, but it's a harder teacher. It's easier to take the sad lessons from it.JMHnoreply@blogger.com
