Countless thoughts
On which to chew

That works for you
You may want to assume
It will work for me too
But I am unique
In my view of the world
How [...]

My kids love to watch PBS. Fetch with Ruff Ruffman and Cyberchase are two of their favorite shows. And they learn alot from them. I must admit, so do I! For the most part, we find the minimal advertising that PBS presents innocuous. There’s a newish ad that they are running that burns my kids [...]

I recently came upon the Family Mental Health blog on PsychCentral.com about unschooling. More specifically, the writer of the blog lived up to the initials following her name and questioned Good Morning America’s edited portrayal and highly biased discussion of the unschooling lifestyle. She conveyed her gut reaction after viewing the piece and made a call [...]
There have been a smattering of blog comments in response to Discovery Health’s ‘Radical Parenting’ special indicating that Child Protective Services should be involved with our family. Why? From the perspective of an overbearing, traditionally-minded parent, the dynamic of our family is frighteningly lax. It is immediately assumed that because our children are not FORCED [...]
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
3 Families- Attachment Parenting, gender neutral parenting & radical unschooling
General consensus is that Radical Unschooling is, by far, the most ‘radical’ of the styles. Hmmm.
General opinions-
