It ended up being dinner for 2 tonight, so I made it extra special….because she ‘s worth it!

Wednesday night on Discovery Health at 8:00PM there is going to be a Radical Unschooling piece as part of a Radical Parenting episode. Sarah Parent of Clan of Parents and her family were filmed to be part of the show. Her blog has more details on the filming process.

I am still floating around on my post conference high! I am re-reading Deschooling Our Lives and I just picked up Nurture Shock and Raising Our Children Raising Ourselves from the library tonight. I am also LOVING these podcasts called Whatever, Whatever Amen!!! Our local unschooling group is getting together so we can  watch this Astra Taylor lecture together and discuss it. I have already watched it once-it is long but well worth it. Very inspiring!!

Any body have any other recommendations for unschooling books, blogs, podcasts or websites I should be checking out?

    I really liked Nurture Shock, but I have to say I’m really grateful that you sent me to the Clan of Parents blog and from there to reading about consensual living. That sounds a bitlike what I’ve always called The Social Contract (a deep obsession of mine) and I think it will help Lee and me reframe conversations we’ve been having for the duration of our relationship and understand things a lot more productively. Thanks, and I hope your reading is similarly fruitful!

    I’ve really enjoyed Rue Kream’s book Parenting a Free Child: An Unschooling Life and have lent it out a bunch of times. Also love John Holt’s Instead of Education, and the Teenage Liberation Handbook. So much so that I bought all 3, and while I’m known for my book addiction, mostly these days I get stuff from the library. These 3 I wanted on my shelf. I’m going to have to check out the ones you posted about – as well as hoping to sit down to watch Wednesday at 8. Thanks for the post and the links/titles!
