I don’t agree with how my partner parents his child. For example, he wakes his 5-year-old son up in the middle of the night to reposition him because he’s fearful his son will fall out of bed. I do not agree with this habit one iota, but I am not the boy s parent. Am I making a big deal of a harmless habit or is my boyfriend doing irrevocable damage to his child? Is there any way I can have a say?
Concerned Partner
Dear Concerned Partner,
If the three of you were in my office, I would ask many questions to determine if your concern about your partner s nighttime repositioning is a harmless habit or causing irrevocable damage (the latter is unlikely). What I hear as a more significant problem is you generally disagree with your partner s parenting, and do not know where you fit in to this tricky equation.
Transcendent Kingdom
Yaa Gyasi’s
Transcendent Kingdom, one of the most anticipated novels of 2020, delivers an intimate portrayal of a Ghanaian family making its way in the contemporary American South, a story as multifaceted as the human brain itself. For Gyasi to write a novel strong enough to follow her highly acclaimed debut
Homegoing, she had to create the diamond that is
Transcendent Kingdom. I paid full price for the book during a pandemic, preordering my copy without thinking about the cost. When it arrived, I swan-dived into its pages, into a story that moves with speed, heart, and scientific passion.

Life renewing processes physical, spiritual, emotional and mental have been lost by modern cultures. Nature’s response, Climate Change, seems harsh, but if we listen, learn and accept Indigenous relational leadership, our Earth based wisdom will be reawakened and we will once again flow with Nature.
