You will learn a lot here!!! I'd like to recommend a book to you that was just published... "Christian Unschooling - Growing Your Child in the Freedom of Christ," by Teri Brown and Elissa Wahl. I pre-ordered it and received my copy a week or so ago. It is a wonderful source of encouragement, information, and inspiration. Unschooling is often misunderstood by many Christians and it is sometimes hard to find other Christian unschoolers. Teri also has a website... http://www.inspirit.com.au/unschooling/ and more info on the book can be found at http://www.championpress.com/unschoolingmain.html.

Welcome again!
