Respect/freedom; multiply by 18

On "freedom," in light of respect for others, and for realities. New to the site; from the book.
https://sandradodd.com/freedom/limits.html

Story told in 2001, the day it happened, though it's been reported since. Multiplication, unschooled teens impressing older people, various other confidence-boosting bits.

Parenting Peacefully, Fact, Food

Usually I try to save up three similar or related pages, but this one is long and important. In January 2022 I have added to the page called Parenting Peacefully, a list that Alex Arnott wrote. It's the fourth item or so.
https://sandradodd.com/parentingpeacefully
That page is long, solid, rich, and has a sound file you can hear there, or download and keep.

New to the site: Fact/Fallacy/Opinion (from The Big Book of Unschooling)
https://sandradodd.com/fact

New page, sound and pictures, about FOOD and unschooling
