Maslow was famous for creating this chart of hierarchical needs to survive. That is, we are all making sure we have 1 through to 5, in that order of priority. What if we changed this dramatically and turned the pyramid upside down changing the focus of parenting. Having parents that can provide 1, 2, 3,... Continue Reading →

So when we first meet someone we are usually making sure we are liked and if it was an attractive girl/boy we are making sure we get some sex, if we are lucky....maybe. There are lots of other agendas, as well, that we can have for making sure of, but I think mine was always... Continue Reading →
