HB #28- Guest Podcast:: Freedom & Responsibility with Barb Lundgren and Quinn Eaker

Quinn is Barb’s oldest child and a grown unschooler.  Having been unschooled in the deepest sense of the word, his sense of self is strong and his awareness is broad.  Discussions with Quinn are immediately intimate.  There is no small talk, no waste of a moment.  He truly lives the intention of being present in [...]

HB #27- Guest Podcast:: Freedom & Responsibility with Barb Lundgren and Courtney Taylor Clay

Several have asked me about unschooling teens.  Who better to speak to this than a young adult (now mother!) who, herself, was always (in all ways) unschooled?  I am pleased to have Courtney and her family in my personal experience.  Her presence is quiet and powerful.  She has much to share.

Further questioning reveals a concern that, because unschoolers are not accustomed to having their time and activities regimented by an external authority, they will be unable to function in society as adults.

Unschoolers do not live in some kind of self-limiting bubble. Our [...]

Join my husband, Chris, and I as we discuss and explain some recently blogged comments about our recently aired segment of: 

Discovery Health Channel’s ‘Radical Parenting’ special

General consensus is that Radical Unschooling is, by far, the most ‘radical’ of the styles.  Hmmm.

Radical Parenting

We gathered around the television this evening- the kids, Chris, myself, my mom, Barb, and Steve.  We waited with the television on mute while some horrifying dramatization of seizures was finishing.  The kids paid no mind- climbing on the couch and showing Barb and Steve their newest creations and talents.  There were flutters in [...]
