Co-Sleeping, Priorities, Control

Co-Sleeping
New quote by Vickie Bergman, and link, lower left; general page cleanup.

Something new, about mid-page, by Caren Knox, about Priorities and unschooling:
http://sandradodd.com/priorities

I'm reminded again how much I like the titles Holly did for me a few years back.

New by Schuyler Waynforth, up top on the Control page: http://sandradodd.com/control

Sugar, Spouses, Law of Attraction

Two new bits on kids and sugar, both by Annie Kessler, one she wrote on facebook, and the other she wrote to me so this will be a first-ever exclusive peek! :-)

http://sandradodd.com/eating/sugar#kessler
http://sandradodd.com/eating/sweets
They toggle back and forth, so you won't need to read the two pages to find them, but you might want to!

Gail posted photos and words about a hike she and Broc took together. It's sweet and inspiring.
I linked it here:
http://sandradodd.com/spouses
It's not so new now, but I forgot to announce it; sorry. Those attending the Good Vibrations Unschooling Conference in San Diego next month can hear Gail and Broc in person.

I was asked for what I had written on how "the law of attraction" can hinder unschooling. I've found two things and put them together here:

If others remember where other discussions are, or have written something that could be added to that page, please send me a note.

Teens' jobs / force / "kind of" unschooling

One new example on teens getting jobs (upper left):
http://sandradodd.com/teen/jobs

"Force" (not Yoda and Luke, but people feeling powerlessly "forced" to do things)
http://sandradodd.com/force

The idea of "kind of" unschooling has been being discussed at facebook. I don't like the impermanence of facebook. I know nothing is permanent; many large collections of unschooling writings are lost to us. But facebook discussions aren't even "permanent" for a week. So I saved things written by Sylvia Toyama and Schuyler Waynforth here, where there were already some great ideas stored:

(the page has also been cleaned up otherwise, and links added at the bottom)
