Demonstration of how to breathe if you're angry and you want to stay angry, and how to breathe if you want to be calm and thoughtful

2:30 Jill Parmer: Perspectives of Unschooling—How it looks from different angles.

I hope this will boost your confidence and better prepare you for the questions folks always seem to ask about unschooling.

3:30 break, so there's time to get suited up and to the water park when it opens at 4:00 ... ..to the water park already in progress. :-)

Some blips I've seen along my family's unschooling path, and ideas to help you avoid them.

2:00 Participants: "What do you wish you had known sooner?"

Think of something if you can, and of a way to word it succinctly so that others in the room then Have It. :-) We can fill the room with wisdom.

Sandra will start this off with a bit of what she's learned from and about dads, and then leave the men to this on their own.
