I to am always glad to connect with other RU families even if it is online. I am happy for you that you will be able to move back to Illinois, as it seems to be the place you feel the happiest. I can tell by your page how much you miss it :) In the mean time if you do need any virtual support I'm always up for a chat. I wish a smooth move for you!

- Hi Jennifer,
I Don't think we've met, I wanted to introduce myself. I also live in Arizona and am looking to meet more unschoolers in town (or at least close to my town, tempe). My daughter, Olivia, is close in age with your boys she turns 3 in September. We are out and about a lot, let me know if you would ever like to meet up with us.

Profile Information
- what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?
- Well unschooling means child-led learning, following their interests and facilitating learning rather than actively teaching. To me, radical unschooling is an extension of that into all aspects of life - trusting kids to regulate their own bodily needs, such as food and sleep - and trusting them to be(come) full human beings in their own time, with gentle guidance from adults. It also means that I am constantly learning!
- how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?
- My kids are 5 and 3 and I guess we've been pretty much unschooling since the beginning. We practice attachment parenting - cosleeping, extended breastfeeding, gentle "discipline", etc.
- names and ages of children
- Aidan, 5
Moira, 3
- a little about me
- I like to crochet and read for fun. I struggle with issues of discipline because I don't want to use punishment and rewards, but I don't get a lot of support for that. My kids are quite spirited and can be challenging, but are also curious, smart, and wonderfully full of life.
