The family unit can work together better-- responsibility and cooperation on all levels. It's so important not to just dole out 'jobs' to children but to give them a stake in the family workings. Well thought out post! Kudos! I totally agree, I believe when children are needed for the daily tasks of family and are given a role to play.

Thanks for your enthusiasm, as ever! Hi there, Jane. Great to "meet" you. Without a doubt, Elizabeth Thomas' work owes a debt to Margaret Mead and others. I think the reminder to honor and integrate the skills, values and practices of hunter-gatherer societies into our modern lives is completely apt and perhaps necessary. Especially as those ways are pretty much lost. I think many families might benefit from a re-prioritizing in the areas of play, risk, independence and cooperation, qualities that can be learned from hunter-gatherers, as the folks at Primal Family have pointed out. Do you agree? Pamela, you crack me up! Thanks for your enthusiasm, as ever!

See Margaret Mead's "Coming of Age in Samoa." Or for that matter the writings of Rousseau. I think this has pretty much been done already.
