Tina Tarbutton replied to Barbara Moore's discussion Video game addiction!! The quote for addiction in any area is when your life become unmanagable!"Draven (my 11y/o son) is an avid gamer. I support his passion in every way possible.
Part of this is providing for his daily needs. I bring him food throughout the day, I keep easy-to-make things available for him at night…"
Robin B. replied to Tina Tarbutton's discussion What do you wish someone told you?"One thing I would like to have heard is that unschooling isn't for the faint of heart <g>. It will challenge *you* to learn many things you either never thought you would or prefer not to learn about yourself. It will challenge all your…"
JennyStar replied to Tina Tarbutton's discussion What do you wish someone told you?"Unschooling is a process of letting go and transcending the notion that high pressure on oneself and forcing oneself without joy or inspiration will get you where you want to go. As we see the way our children live without undue pressure and…"
Meredith replied to Tina Tarbutton's discussion What do you wish someone told you?"Probably newcomers to the term are far more interested in nuts, bolts and real-life examples,
Some are, some aren't, and that's where things get dicey - because some folks come to unschooling with ideas of freedom and following…"
Julie B replied to Tina Tarbutton's discussion What do you wish someone told you?"This is my perspective and what it would have been helpful for me to hear, but not everyone will agree with how I experience unschooling.

JennyStar replied to Tina Tarbutton's discussion What do you wish someone told you?"Also, it would have been nice to hear that that unschooling doesn't have to be something approached in a doing it right or wrong framework.
That might seem nice, but there are clearly right and wrong decisions that parents can make that impact…"

Also, it would have been nice to hear that that…"
Meredith replied to Tina Tarbutton's discussion What do you wish someone told you?""Read a little, try a little, wait a little, watch"!
At some point I did get the advice to ease in by saying yes more, rather than dumping all the limits at once, and that was very help with Ray, in particular. With Mo I was reading…"

My partner and I just got a final date from the library. We're going to be running a program about unschooling for the local homeschoolers and anyone else interested. I have a pretty good idea of what we want to talk about, however I'm always afraid of missing something. What do you wish someone told you when you first looked into unschooling? I'm also handing out a list of links and I have Joyfully Rejoicing, Sandra Dodd's unschooling site, Why Unschool and this site on there any other…See More

Tina Tarbutton replied to Tina Tarbutton's discussion Hello from Florida!"If he's into Pokemon at all, White is the newest one, just released today (along with Black). Draven's DS will get put away for months at a time, then something will come up and renew his interest. This time we were at GameStop…"
Kathy T. replied to Tina Tarbutton's discussion Hello from Florida!"I will have to look into Pokemon White. He has a DS but says he is bored with the games he has. Right now he plays mostly on the computer. He plays WoW with his dad, Roblox, Wizard 101. He does spend a lot of time watching videos about his games on…"
Tina Tarbutton replied to Kathy T.'s discussion Helping a 4 year old with finding words for his feelings"My son had problems with calling himself names, he even went so far as to bang his head against things.
