All, she has decided to be home! At least for the rest of this
semester...which is a start and good! (Grace, age 15)

Questions...she wants an assignment every day...ugh...I guess I need to move
slowly into unschooling. Thoughts, ideas? I told her I'd like to take some
time to help her discover her interests and revive her curiosity and then we
should take that from there.

ok- I filed an affidavit in April...it expired and I did not do it again.
Ooops. Should I do that now anyway, or do it again now, since now I have an
older child as a part of this?

I'm exited. Happy. Scared a bit too. Trust breeds trust, Trust breeds
trust,Trust breeds trust,Trust breeds trust,Trust breeds trust....my mantra :)

Make her first assignment be to read "The Teenage Liberation
Handbook," by Grace Llewelyn.

Every state is different. If you have a state-based list, you'll get
more knowledgeable answers there about state-specific questions.

Your reading assignment for yourself: "The Parent-Teen Breakthrough:
A Relationship Approach" by Myra Kirshenbaum. (I might have the
spelling wrong.)

I'd love to! But she really struggles with assimilating information via
lengthy reading. But I am still thinking about at least maybe a few sections,
perhaps. I've connected her to one other girl, close in age, and that has
already seemed to have lit a small light. She sees that she is a bit
funky-mainstream, like Grace is, and I think that opened her eyes a bit, which helps to
open her "gut" I think.

That sounds interesting! I'll need to see if the library has that. Thanks!

My Lizzy(14) also has a hard time reading for a long time. SHe also
wanted assignments when she first left school. She got over that
pretty quickly : ) I got her a membership at audible.com so she can
down load books onto her ipod. With the membership cost she gets
one free download a month. She really likes that. I don't know if
they have Teenage Liberation Handbook but it's a good resource.
