A HUGE Thank You!
Barb Eaton
Well I'm four days behind on mail and haven't a clue as to what has been
discussed. I've been writting on another unschool list explaining
unschooling to people that have been there for years. They are mostly
eclectic homeschoolers. I love that list but... I'll cut to the chase. It's
exhausting! Thank you so much Sandra, Ren, Joyce, Deb, Robin, Helen, Pam,
Karin, Tia, Marji, Kelly, and so many others for your time and writings
about unschooling through life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May you all have a very happy new year!
Write on :-)

I don't know about others here, but I have been brought up to doubt myself.
Neither of my parents have ever helped me to find ways to feel more
comfortable with my decisions, they usually tell me that I don't make good
decisions (Meaning I don't make the ones THEY would make) My mother has come
along way since I came home to be with my kids and live this wonderful
trusting lifestyle. She is far less critical and degrading. My Father can
never change, our relationship is over.
Sad.

Hi -
Not letting someone degrade you is a GOOD decision, in my not so humble
opinion.
In general the whole old-fashioned, spirit-breaking form of child
raising DOES seem designed to take away the child's ability to think for
himself. The doubts you feel could be an expression of that.

Just in case there's anyone here who never knew this:
Child-rearing and education books in the first half of the 20th century
talked explicitly, right in black and white, about breaking a child's will.
They used that phrase: You must break his will.

Elissa,
I totally beleive that that is the way I was raised. I doubt myself less
and less as time goes on and I can see the proof in the pudding, <BWWG> My
Mom died before the kids where born. I let my Dad beleive that we were
fundimental christian homeschoolers. That was who they knew that hsed. I was
very thankful he and his retired second grade teacher lived in FL and I am
in Ohio. LOL! He's gone now but still in my heart I have some of those tapes
playing. eg; Shut the door! You don't live in a barn!/ Turn off those
lights! Money doesn't grow on trees! LOL!
