Mama. Undone.: April 2008

http://undonemama.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

The Radical Unschooling of it all. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Today I was feeling irritable and frustrated, and I snapped at my daughter, who was already not pleased. She looked at me, upset, with tears in her eyes, and said, "Mama, you choosed angry, and now I'm choosing sad! Wow Once again, this small child pulls everything into perspective - cuts to the heart of the matter with an insight, clarity, and honesty that astounds me. If I can't find my children's shoes, can I still choose to feel joy? This ...

Mama. Undone.: Radical Unschooling

http://undonemama.blogspot.com/2008/04/welcome-to-mama.html

The Radical Unschooling of it all. Monday, April 28, 2008. To begin at the beginning, a very good place to start. Unschooling means many things to many people. If you take a hundred unschooling families, and asked them to define "unschooling" you would find yourself with 100 answers. This is mostly due to the very nature of unschooling, which is that it is a highly individual, life-based approach to learning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am the Undone Mama.

Mama. Undone.: December 2007

http://undonemama.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

The Radical Unschooling of it all. Sunday, December 30, 2007. In such a loving although preverbal way . I was overwhelmed by his sweetness. His empathy is pure and authentic. I need to have a new way of looking at myself too. One that is free of judgment. Accepting myself unconditionally. because until I do that I will keep slipping into judgment and conditionality with my husband and kids - since my fundamental paradigm hasn't shifted far enough.

Mama. Undone.: Staying Up All Night

http://undonemama.blogspot.com/2008/06/staying-up-all-night.html

The Radical Unschooling of it all. Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Staying Up All Night. Today, I went out on a limb and tried to explain to a friend about our "coming. Around week". and I realized that it is exactly the sort of thing that makes. People think that RU is not for them. So I thought it was worth addressing. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to keep my family on a consistent. Sleep/wake schedule. Not a conventional one, perhaps, but I definitely had a. Stress for me, and everyone else.

The Radical Unschooling of it all. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. The Truth About Food. I watched the Truth About Food. On Discovery Health channel last night. They do a series of informal. Experiments to test theories about food, as well as have experts comment. At any rate, one of the things they tested was how do kids react to food. Restrictions - for instance, rationing a "treat" food. They took a classroom of. 5 yos, and had them taste test dried mango and raisins, and the kids rated them. She was supp...

Mama. Undone.: March 2007

http://undonemama.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

The Radical Unschooling of it all. Friday, March 9, 2007. I've noticed that when unschoolers want to explain unschooling to those who are involved in public schools, or are school-at-homers, there is a tendency to use radical unschooling in a really negative way, for contrast. The assertion usually amounts to: "We're not letting them be raised by wolves, like radical unschoolers.". Would be counterproductive, branding all unschoolers as NUTS. Not even plain nuts; salted ones. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
