Detoxing - apology
Joanne
Sorry for all the typos and errors, I needed to reach out and get
support but I was interrupted so many times that after the spell check
I forgot to go back and read the text to make sure it made sense. :(
Hopefully you got the gist :) - Joanne

Hi Joanne,
Welcome to the list. I'm new to unschooling too and
we are not into radical unschooling yet, I have much
to learn and need hubby on board yet with that.
However, I did receive a bit of information for a
couple of your issues at unschoolingdiscussion@yahoo.
Radical unschooling doesn't mean to allow the child to
run you down and run the house. Also, Sandra Dodd had
mentioned to another mother that when one begins this
journey that things should be eased into, rather than
go (my words not hers :-) Whole Hog)
Personally, I think that five is too young to stay up
until all hours of the night, and that isn't what
radical unschooling is about either. It is about
respect and love and trust, not about giving up
control over your child and instead allowing them to
control you...KWIM? It appears that this is what has
happened when I read your posts. It's okay that he
stays up later but I'm sure that most would agree here
that because this was "boom" things are this way now,
instead of steady pace of transition.
As for the horse lessons, does he want to take them?
If not, drop them. However, if he does, then you
shouldn't have to coax him to get up and then deal
with him being grumpy.
I'd love to offer some great advice that would give
you peace right away but I do not feel it's
appropriate to do so. Many here have done natural
parenting from the get go and can give far better
advice. Also, there are people here that weren't
radical, who eased into letting go of control steadily
and easily.
Best of luck to you
Sandy Winn

Also, Sandra Dodd
speaking about doing an eased transition into
unschooling school :-) This was a transition into
radical unschooling and parenting. In particular, I
believe it had to do with sleeping. However, in that
case, the children were being noisy all night long and
keeping the parents up. If your son is not bothering
you, then I'm probably wrong in the advice
given...IOW...ignore me! LOL
Happy Learning,
~Sandy
