The stories we tell ourselves about the past
The concept of narrative captured my interest sometime around 1984 - ironically - because it may have been the Orwell novel with that year ' s title that prompted my thinking on the topic.I was interested in written narrative and how Winston Smith established his rebellion and then his freedom through a written form (even if it all eventually led to a horrible end). I was also fascinated by his attraction to the paperweight that he purchased - something that was old - and seemingly of unknowable utility.What was the purpose of knowledge, or of the past - except that it all did represent a freedom from the drudgery of the p...

Friday Feature: Unschooling

Parenting Instagram accounts can make mothers feel supported, but also less competent
By Emily Reynolds Adjusting to parenting can be difficult for many new parents — particularly when it comes to judging their own competence or knowing whether or not they are doing the “right” thing. Subsequently, many new parents seek advice: from peers, family members, friends, and, increasingly, from social media. A new study, published in Acta Psychologica, explores the impact of parenting-related Instagram accounts on mothers. It finds a mixed experience: while mothers can feel supported by a community of fellow parents, they can also feel less competent when comparing themselves to others. ...

The Particularly Painful Isolation of the Autism Parent
Isolation is a huge and common problem these days. We hear about it in the context of Covid-19 and children staying home, whether because of safety concerns, or quarantine.
