My first impression after reading the prologue of the book was admiration for this author who wrote a book on Ethics not just as a writer but as a father as well.
It was really meaningful to me as a reader , but as a mother and teacher mainly, this question of people begging for 'attention' in their actions and how important our reaction towards them it is. I wonder how much we understand when analysing a person´s behaviour. Do we really understand or have a slight notion of what they want to express or show through their acts? And more important still, are we able to do so or we just see the surface of what people show and do not try to go deeper?

You're right Sil... this book is worth reading and the fact that apart from teachers we're also parents makes us want to read more!!!!
We'll just have to keep on reading and hope we are wise enough so as to help our children every day!!!!

Your choice of the word begging has certainly made an impact upon me, MatVic! Perhaps it's just because yesterday I had another "not easy" day at school, and I'm feeling a bit tired of swimming "upstream on the current"?
Anyway, I've felt this was a challenge to develop my ethics.. You've got me thinking: "As an adult, do I want to beg for attention? And if so, who from?"
I'll let you know if I come up with a clear answer!
Big hug,

On a more cheerful evening, let me tell you I haven't come up with a clear answer to my questions here yet, but I'm enjoying my students' attention a lot! ;-)
