Re: Negative Perception of People
currently struggling to break through in this area actually in our home group. I also find actually that the reverse is true- it is hard to get past these issues which are the be all and end all to the people we are in home group at church with. They are judging us wrongly because they have read and believe the Ezzo definition of Attachment Parenting (I read it in the GKGW books a friend lent me). Got to try to get past the totally wrong definition, show we have boundaries and different ways of placing them (in different places!) as well as get past our perception of them. Have thought about leaving the group because breaking into real fellowship is so slow... but if we do that, who is getting alongside them????? I do have a hard time remembering they love their children as much as we do and that they are doing what they think is best. Partly that is because they spend so much time boasting about their Ezzo methods (without naming Ezzo but it's as clear as day) and what they are doing with their children.
