Yes, I love consistency (and constancy :-) and watching my grandchildren, 3 and 2 this weekend, I can see how they do too. Was very interesting watching them and their father and trying to remember how it "was". My husband was obviously a good father as my stepson sure is one!

I found the links interesting relative to Mouse's "ethics" which I think I had explained to me as being the therapeutic frame so I went looking for "frame." The boundaries keep us safe/therapeutic I think.
