Jo Beth and Cristina were the first ones to even mention unschooling to me, I'd never heard of it. I thought it sounded cool in theory, but thought I could never do it. As soon as I figured out that unschooling is more about finding your own groove based on your family, it was the easiest thing in the world. No guilt, no shoulds...just staying open to who I am, who my kids are and what the HS is telling me each day. I breathe easier and enjoy my kids so much more now. And truly, I know it's not for everyone, but I saw you with your kids-I do think it'd be a great fit for you all if you did want to do it (even if for just this year).Show Us The Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06444255663345917343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041474346805140660.post-70300824970295555352009-08-21T09:05:01.484-05:002009-08-21T09:05:01.484-05:00I think that would likely leave me more stressed o...I think that would likely leave me more stressed out ... not sure if it would be a good fit with my personality. I am interested to see what that looks like in your families though. My fear here is that my children would become scholars ... in Phineas and Ferb ... which is what they majored in this summer.

It's the direction we're going, and, my, have the guilt trips over planning, etc. gone by the boards. But I'll pray that you find the motivation to go in the direction you're led to go. Just to take that first step that will make the next ones a little easier. Love you, lady.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817929953380695272noreply@blogger.com
