Day 16 Consent is a conversation.

Consent is trial and error, a process of learning, rich and tiring. Worth it every moment to make this a better world with less abuse. Consent depends on so many factors: person, time, energy level, and commitment. What is it worth to you? Feeling into your body is a good way of checking in about what to choose.

Children are often entitled and ready to do whatever they can to get what they want. Sometimes I admire it; other times, it scares me. What will they do when they're grownup? What a challenge it is to be with children. What training! What love it takes to do this bumpy ride with them. ❤

Consent is about adapting to what is right at the moment. Be kind to yourself and keep in mind that eating crisps for dinner is not so bad. Serving crisps for dinner, I’m reminded that a "normal" dinner is something that depends on the culture and the age in which we live. Today's normal dinner is not compatible with climate care.

Choosing between discussing dinner the whole evening and taking a break, I go for the latter. What do you do? How much do you give in when taking care of children? Do we stick to right and wrong because of tradition and conforming to social expectations or because we want it?

I admit, my dinners are not always the healthiest, but the unhealthy ones are yummy ones. We deserve yumminess in challenging times like these; it can even contribute to our children's body knowledge and self-knowledge 😉❤
