Really good points, Katie (and sweet stories about generosity at your house).??Thank you for springboarding from that into good unschooling stories.
Of the older/original, this part pretty much cancelled the whole thing out for me:
"An hour before dinner, only veggies are on it.? I really don¡¯t care if my kids ¡°fill up¡± on frozen peas or baby carrots before dinner."
SO MUCH CLOCK! :-)??
"Fill up" is real.? A child really CAN be full!??
But more, the platter was never a sweet gift.? It was something to make the mom's life easier.? And it wasn't a meal.?
My kids' monkey platters weren't always "the meal" either.? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.??
