Sarah Jane

Full-time mother of two daughters, one born at home. Self-taught crafty goddess with so much fabric, thread and other materials in her home that it's known to friends as Spotlite.

This once upon a time 12 year old drop-out is now on the deschooling ride of lifetime, as she doesn't teach her children.

Sarah Patricia

Is no longer blogging here. You can read her unschooling stuff on her personal blog.

Ten Ways We Misunderstand Children

By Jan Hunt full version here

1. We expect children to be able to do things before they are ready.

2. We become angry when a child fails to meet our needs.

3. We mistrust the child's motives.

4. We don't allow children to be children.

5. We get it backwards.

6. We blame and criticize when a child makes a mistake.

7. We forget how deeply blame and criticism can hurt a child.

8. We forget how healing loving actions can be.

9. We forget that our behavior provides the most potent lessons to the child.

10. We see only the outward behavior, not the love and good intentions inside the child.

"We're saying unschooling, not uneducating and we're saying unschooling, not unlearning. What we're taking out of children's lives is the school part."
