I gotta tell ya, reading LL is making a difference in my interactions with the kidlet. It's SO clear to me now what he's wanting/needing/asking for when he invites me to make a critter with him in Spore, or watch a movie with him or any of the myraid things he wants people to do with him. It's not about the activity - he's asking for love. And perhaps even more important, he's *expressing* love through an offer of quality time. I can't always say yes when he asks, but I am not extremely cognizant of the risks and the effect on him if I say no too often.
The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.
