Undamaged curiosity


Unschooling is about learning, and not about teaching. Unschooling parents rely on their children's native, undamaged curiosity and on the interesting world around them.

Happier

No matter where a person is, a step up is a step up. Happier is happier.

Older every day


If you're the preferred parent, be there, and ask the second-best parent to do back-up for you, instead of so much direct interaction. Every day, the child is older. Every single day.

Request for help

There are over 3,000 posts here now! A few good ones are linked below. If we were all in one place, I would put a jar by the door, or pass the hat. Perhaps there would be cake.

Please help me with expenses....

Many gifts

Karen James wrote:

Cultivating an attitude of gratitude for the many gifts in my life has taken me from a place of hopelessness in my mind, to one of abundant possibilities. Because my life *looks* more abundant to me, every moment holds more potential. That doesn't mean my life is all wonderful and easy. It does mean that I have access to more emotional, creative, and intellectual tools to help me move toward the kind of life I want for myself and my family.
