Happy, calm and loving
"Don't bring all the scary, negative and dark stories from the internet into your home. It will make your home and your lives scary, negative and dark. The most important thing you can do for your children's health is to provide them with a happy, calm and loving home."
—Eva Witsel

Creating and protecting peace
Peace precedes learning.
Peace is a pre-requisite for unschooling to start working. It doesn't need to be constant peace (and won't be) but it needs to be increasing peace, and the attempt and intent to create and protect more peace.

Natural patterns
There are patterns in nature. Things are naturally organized.
In humans, it's hard to tell "natural" from culture, language, tradition, institutions. Still, people grow naturally, and have instincts, and think and feel from inside. We learn things physically, and mentally.
Humans learn.
Children learn.

One more?
This is about love, and abundance, and trust-building. What would you pay, if you could buy love, abundance and trust?
If your kids ask for another one (potato, cookie, peanut butter sandwich) I think it's helpful if you just say "Sure!" and make another one, even if you don't think they'll finish it, even if you think they'll be too full or whatever. As long as they're not eating someone else's share (and even so, if the other person agrees), it's not a big deal. If they don't finish, save the leftover for someone else. If they do finish and they're "too full" that's how they'll learn their capacity (which will change anyway as they get older).

Score some peace!
When there will be one winner and one loser, between a parent and child, between a husband and wife, between best friends, then both lose.

Create calm
Demonizing food creates a demon. Being calm creates more calm. |
