xristiana commented on xristiana's blog post Unschooling them

"I couldn't agree with you more. That is why unschooling or anything that we want for our children, begins with us. Parenting is the most important "job" and sacred role that we take on (in my opinion). It begins with our own inner…"

Meredith commented on xristiana's blog post Unschooling them

"I should be clear that I don't mean material resources necessarily. Time is a resource - parents who don't have time can't be involved with their kids (that's something which can hinge on material resources, though, for some).…"

xristiana commented on xristiana's blog post Unschooling them

"I'm not so sure that it is resources so much that are needed as caring, involvement and trust. Children, when allowed to explore themselves and life from the very beginning, as is the natural thing to do, amazingly find ways…"
