august blog carnival: Picking up the pieces

[Meredith]

It’s easy unschooling when everything's going well, but what about when it's not? How do you maintain a sense of support and partnership when it seems like things are falling down around your ears? Share tales of unschooling through the rough stuff.

 

Some possible directions:

• How do you pick up the pieces when you've fallen down or fallen apart? How do you rebuild trust and security between family members (kids and/or spouses).

 

• How do you maintain a sense of abundance during "lean" times?

 

• How has unschooling sustained you and your family during a crisis?

 

• How do you get from feeling that your life is a shambles to confidence and contentment - on an emotional level, or when housework gets That bad.

 

• What kind of support have you found helpful during harder times? Family? Friends? Strangers?

 

• When have you been able to help someone else who is having a hard time? How has that informed your unschooling life?

 

The deadline for submissions is July 28 – please send links to your submissions to [e-mail]

Look forward to reading your stories!
