This is not a sob story. It's a story about the difficulties of growing into manhood and my own particular struggle with disabling anxiety that came along with it, and how I managed to find my way. That was more than fifty years ago. American life was more comfortable and comprehensible than it is now as we face the discords of what I call the long emergency. I still had a hard time. I observe that boys today are up against a whole lot more in their quest to become fully functional adult men.

"In a culture that prizes productivity, efficiency, and success, it's easy to feel as though we're constantly falling short and to lose sight of joy. The homeschool community is not exempt from this pressure, but longtime educator Leslie Martino shows parents how to slow down to recapture the delight and depth that are hallmarks of meaningful learning. In The Joy of Slow, she offers practical guidance on: creating daily rhythms that celebrate the ordinary and make space for spontaneity supporting children as they explore personal interests and engage in self-directed learning tracking students' progress in ways that might be overlooked by traditional assessments prioritizing connection with other people and the natural world While parents of young children are more likely to embrace a slow childhood that nurtures wonder and imagination, panic often sets in as kids grow older, and parents worry about preparing them for the world beyond school. These fears are exacerbated by learning challenges, unspoken competition among peers, and standardized assessments. The Joy of Slow offers a much-needed reset, inspiring parents to prioritize the needs of each individual child and to help them find renewed freedom and passion"--
The Importance of Effective CommunicationIn today's fast-paced world, effective communication has become more crucial than ever before. It is the foundation of strong relationships, whether personal or professional. As caring parents, we often overlook the significance of effective communication in building a healthy connection with our teenagers. However, it is an essential skill that can bridge the gap between parents and their children, fostering understanding, trust, and mutual respect.Effective communication is not just about talking; it involves active listening, empathy, and understanding. By actively listening to our teenagers, we show them that their thoughts, feelings, and opinions matter. We create a safe space for them to express themselves without fear of judgment or ridicule. This encourages open dialogue and strengthens the parent-child bond.Moreover, effective communication helps us understand our teenagers' perspectives, challenges, and aspirations. It allows us to step into their shoes and see the world through their eyes. This understanding enables us to provide guidance and support tailored to their individual needs, fostering their personal growth and development.Additionally, effective communication promotes trust and respect between parents and teenagers. When we communicate openly and honestly, we build a foundation of trust that encourages our teenagers to confide in us. They feel comfortable sharing their concerns, fears, and achievements, knowing we will listen without prejudice. This trust empowers us to guide them through the ups and downs of adolescence and make informed decisions together.Furthermore, effective communication equips our teenagers with vital life skills. By modeling effective communication, we teach them how to express themselves effectively, resolve conflicts peacefully, and build healthy relationships. These skills are invaluable as they navigate the complexities of adulthood, empowering them to succeed in their personal and professional lives.

The car has since been known as "Lorna's Cowfur Mobile".

The book also pays homage to teachers and to Alberta's farmers and ranchers."I've lived in in the jungles of Peru and the suburbs of Tokyo. I've been to Easter Island, Australia, Egypt, the Caribbean, and Europe. But regardless of where I travel, no matter where I live, my feet are grounded in Canadian soil under the expansive Alberta sky. I value the rural lifestyle and the people I've known since childhood who still shape the person I continue to become."
