"So folks, I believe I'm starting to come around to the unschooling
thoughts and I'm working on being more mindful towards my kids (and
everyone for that matter) everyday."

That is awesome!!
You know, it's all about making better choices in each moment....it
sounds like that's exactly what you're doing. It's not about being
perfect, or responding perfectly.
It's about examining our responses and trying to make a better choice
each time.

I certainly don't respond great every time something is challenging. I
usually can see where I might be able to do better the next time
though...it's a journey, not a destination.:)

It sounds like you've come a long way in a short time. That's really
great. I'm amazed how powerful my own responses and reactions are. By
staying centered and calm (or not) I can affect the entire household.
Scary in some ways....but also empowering.
