 | If life is a busy, happy swirl, they will learn. Learning is guaranteed. The range and content will vary, but the learning will happen. |

Years of learning nothing
 | The seventh annual Learn Nothing Day is already in progress in some parts of the world. The first few were epic-fail events, but some families have experience now and should be able to be more successful. |
To assist in a lack of learning for the unschoolers in New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia and India, I'm not leaving a link. I have chosen a boring photo. Relax.

Learn Nothing Day is nigh
When July 24 begins in your time zone, please attempt to refrain from learning. It's just one day.
If you're new to unschooling, you might think this is easy.
But if your life has progressed to the point that learning is woven into all your activities and you've learned to see it, this will take some planning and some effort.
School kids get half the year off, if you add up all the weekends and holidays. Before someone accuses unschoolers of not learning, they might want to know we have ONE day off, and here it comes. Good luck.

Habits
| When it starts to become a habit for a parent to consider peace, safety, acceptance, choices, service and gratitude in everyday decision making, parenting gradually becomes easier. |  |

Get it together!
| If watching TV is your child's thing and complaining about TV is your thing, you've spoiled a chance to have a shared thing. |  |

Positively open
 | Everyone has the freedom to be negative. Not everyone has thought of good reasons to be more positive. |

Food and dinner
| We've never made our kids wait for dinner. If they're hungry, they can snack. |  |
