Learn Nothing Day, Julie Daniel

I'm moving all my Learn Nothing Day notes and art to a blog with a randomizer. If you subscribe to that blog, you will see each new bit of art, and some of the older things, once or twice a week until it speeds up in late July. (Then, a long break until next year.)
http://learnnothingday.blogspot.com/2014/05/peace-and-beauty.html

The Learn Nothing Day feed is showing up on my main page, too (next to Just Add Light and recent posts from this site news blog).

Thanks to Joyce Fetteroll, this page has been updated and expanded!

Kathy Ward was one of the early online writers, on unschooling. At the time there was a great deal of ADD/ADHD concern; Kathy addressed that. Also, video games and dyslexia.

Not on my site, but me:

Homeschooling: Cómo ayudar a nuestros hijos a tomar decisiones

Streamed live on 22 Apr 2014

Maria José Cifuentes, Yvonne Laborda, Sandra Dodd

Sandra Dodd e Yvonne Laborda hablan de que dejar a nuestros hijos tomar decisiones, si es que a nosotros no se nos dió esa oportunidad, puede ser sanador para nosotros como padres. También se habla de que tomar decisiones empodera, del peligro de pensar que "tienen que..." o "no tienen más remedio que ...", de si realmente toman decisiones o si actuan según el ambiente familiar, de educar sin escuela (homeschooling, unschooling…)

Overuse of the word "addiction"; mind and awareness; recovery

Colleen Prieto wrote a lovely response about addiction, and I saved it, about a third of the way down:
https://sandradodd.com/addiction

Rescued writing, many authors, on cognition and learning:
https://sandradodd.com/awareness

Recovery from childhood trauma, top of this page, new by Karen James:
https://sandradodd.com/issues/

Fears, looking at and overcoming them

I left a set of three links in a discussion and discovered one of them had never been annouced here, and is not in the randomizer:

Fear, overcoming
http://sandradodd.com/fear

Another, called "fears," is in the randomizer and was announced in 2011, but here it is again:
http://sandradodd.com/fears

And a page about letting go of fear and control regarding food, with something new by Karen James:
http://sandradodd.com/eating/control
(It is in the randomizer at SandraDodd.com, but hadn't been announced here.)

Chat transcript: Learning from our children

Marta has edited the chat from February 26, when the topic was Learning from Our Kids
http://chattranscripts.blogspot.com/2014/02/learning-from-our-kids.html

That is now associated with a web page which was announced a bit back, but I'll include it again:

Facts change, skepticism, protecting children (and integrity)

Sometimes facts change. It's a comfort to accept that.
http://sandradodd.com/facts

While working on a follow-up to the Texas Unschoolers Conference in Austin (to be announced later)
I linked a page on skepticism for them. It was first announced here in 2006, and added to in 2011.
http://sandradodd.com/skepticism

That led to a page called "Protect Your Children."
http://sandradodd.com/protect
Now the /protect page has a disclaimer that changes the nature of the information in an interesting way.
