Hi,
I am fairly new and posted a couple weeks ago about the in-laws. I neglected to mention
that my dh doesn't feel the way I do about respecting children, waiting for their timetable, or
trusting that they will have successful academic experiences through their interests.
He is just not open to reading John Holt, or any other material about it; I believe, because he
was raised with such an authoritarian approach. He mentioned the other day to his parents
that our ds left 6th grade this year because the option was given to him that he COULD leave
at any time.
From a personal experience, does anyone have similar experiences or suggestions they can
share that helped their family with unschooling?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Christine

Ok I know there's a lot in the archives of this list because it's not a new
topic... believe me. Here are a few links:

http://joyfullyrejoycing.com/ Go to the bottom on the left of this page and
look under Doubters and Reluctance

And this one is just flat out encouraging for that really great picker upper
(and we ain't talking soppy Scott Towels either ;)

PS: I forget who says this, but it goes very well with the title of your
post. "When you believe it, you'll see it."
