Fantastic discussion everyone! I have to hit the hay now but i look forward to reading more tomorrow. Marcellus touched upon something really interesting about our lower brain paths (which rules our emotions) which reminded me of a documentary I saw recently... must remember to see if there is something (reader friendly) I can find and link to. And Townsvillegirl I think mentioned something about how some people haven't been taught how to manage their emotions and i also think this can be a problem. All the emotional intelligences like resilience and empathy should be fostered in our children just as much as academic intelligence... and maybe it should be more valued in our society than it currently is? Anyhow... must... go... to... bed... thanks for contributing everyone
ETA; Thanks for sharing Townsvillegirl... that's a great example and story!
