Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Children's Access and Safety Issues

[Joani Blank (jeblank]

Jessie asks, " Given that any adult in cohousing may have to set boundaries
for the
kids at any time,  how has your group dealt with sharing parenting
skills/rules throughout the group, especially among nonparents?...."

I believe that Two Acre Wood (also not built yet) had a workshop
(discussion?, talk?) on this very subject--to help parents, non-parents and
those not currently parents of young or school-age children come to some
understandings and agreements about the treatment of, respect for,
legitimate limits for and expectations of children in their community. Did
I get it more or less right, Sebastopolians? (Two Acre Wood is in
Sesbastopol, California.) Can you tell us a little bit about your
experience? Any others?
