Yesterday a copy of Unconditional Parenting arrived for me from Amazon Marketplace. I opened the parcel, put the book to one side and commenced with my ranty shouty day.
When we got home the book seems to have totally disappeared. Of course I know that what has actually happened it is has been a victim of one of Ady’s tidying up sessions and will appear in three months time in the lego box or other such area where stuff was piled up by him and stashed in the guise of clearing things up when all it is actually doing is stuffing things in (similar to landfill mentality).
But I just can’t help this little feeling that somehow one of Alfie Kohn’s agents was sent, in an undercover operation to take it away because clearly I wasn’t demonstrating the book’s principles.
