what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?: child-led learning and developing mutual respect between child and parent. I also believe that training, teaching and inspiring children instead of consequence and punishment is how we can raise self-thinkers.

how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?: 10 years

first names of children: abby 17
taylor 14
maddy 12
gabe 10
bella 7
john 5
brock 2

a little about me: i am a blogger, painter, writer, and love Jesus Christ as my savior. I am blessed to have these 7 children and my husband whom I love very much. They have taught me how to teach them over the years and love spending my days with them...learning and living.

We are still so confused about what to do, can I home school/ unschool my child if she is slightly Dyslexic?
I'm Dyslexic & never received the help I needed untill college! I never really got Help, my teachers just understood that
I needed to take tests at my own pace & a stressful environment in school wasn't something I handled well at all! How
Can I help my child... Public school will just make it worse for her, it did for me!
Shayla is very Bright & creative! One on One with a teacher she is Amazing! In a full class, she falls behind & gets frustrated!
What to do... What to do! I need to have faith in myself & my Husband who would make the Presidents list in college!
