If there is more resentment and negativity than there is love and sweetness, that family is not succeeding at unschooling, in my opinion. It's not about "always" or "never." It's about preponderance.Laura Zurro:
Sandra, can you explain what you mean by calm?Sandra Dodd:
Calm is calm. Not frantic, not excited, not frightened or frightening. Calm, like water that is neither frozen nor choppy.Alex Polikowsky:
Calm is possessing the ability to think, to consider a situation without panic.
Calm is not perpetually on the edge of flipping out.
Laura, I think it is when parents can remain calm under stress. I had to work on that sometimes. My oldest used to have huge tantrums and I would lose my calm. When I learned to remain calm I was much more helpful to him.
