The essence of the positive deviance idea is to let the children raise themselves by abandoning the methods of their parents (of tradition) and instead monitoring the best practices of their peers, but I suspect parents would (with some justice) object to this interpretation.
- nwhitehead 14y agoTalking to your children in an honest way as independent people, working with them to come up with innovative solutions to problems, being inspired by their peers who have managed to overcome the same problem (the deviants) sounds like an EXCELLENT idea. I don't object at all.
