    Reading through notes 10 and 11, I realised that there are so many ways that children can be guided. I often wonder about the following aspects:
    1. Do we really have to put so much focus on brain training? Sometimes it seems to me we see children as walking brains and very little as humans who need to build relationships through feelings and emotions more than trying to train the brain to love.
    2. If we reward children with stars, or other tokens for good behaviour or doing things right, are we really preparing them for life were you are very seldom reward with physical tokens for doing good? I personally believe a child appreciate a very particular remark for a particular behaviour from her/his loving teacher more than a physical token. 
    3. If we give families recipes, will it give better results than helping families to see each member as somebody unique who we need to get to know to handle in a way suitable just for that person?
    Not arguing......just asking.
