Good question Kim...

This is my reflection...

IF there is one thing about SD that I run into again and again in my work it
is keeping it simple and having obvious examples in multiple places directly
relevant to daily life.  It is hard to ignore something in your face.
Also...seeing the positive results we create through SD and not just the
negative ones...that give people heart it seems.

I just don't see what good something is if most people can't understand
it....especially if we want them to....

It seems roadtesting any efforts we make at communication and examples on 8
year olds is the way to go!  If they don't understand or lose interest
(honest little buggers they are) then chances are it is only socialization
skills keeping the adults nodding at us.

Thanks Louis for starting this conversation.

Happy New Year from Denmark,
