The Joy of NOT Being Known 
by Scott Noelle, posted on 2006-06-15
Yesterday we connected with the joy of being known. However, not being known can be a good thing, too — it gives you space to re-create yourself every now and then.
A parent's "knowing" can have the unintended effect of suppressing growth and learning: "Don't give my son any broccoli — he hates it!" Who's to say he won't develop a taste for broccoli today?
If you find yourself using labels (e.g., "fussy eater") you definitely "know" too much about your child!
Today, continue connecting with what you know about your child, but also be willing to let go of everything you know and allow a new truth to be born.
Your Emotional Guidance will tell you which way to go.
