There are two different forces (people) at work in each "communication channel". For example, if Kid A hurts Kid B's feelings, our family feels the effect of Kid A dealing with the consequence and Kid B reacting to the hurt. At the same time, Kid A is dealing with the positive and negative effects of the other seven relationships. Everyone in the family feels the effects of all these actions and responses. In other words, I'm counting the human's interacting, rather the interactions themselves.

I am use to juggling the many balls but I think I need some of the balls to spin a little less. Not sure exactly how we will get to spin less or slower but it seems that is where we are at.Geraldine Eriksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574336376554712973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732975702424844645.post-44537731638036238812013-09-20T06:57:42.359-07:002013-09-20T06:57:42.359-07:00Wow.

So now when 9 of those leave, change this week with Mac going to college, then wow, we have a serious 10% deficit/change going to happen.
