55: How All Kids Are Amazing

In this week's episode, I talk about how all our kids are amazing. 
 
I also discuss the following questions:
 
Should we praise our children?
Should we share their achievements with others?
Do the words 'planning' and 'organisation' have a place in unschooling? (I'm not talking about record keeping!)
 
I also tell a few stories. 
 
There's the one about a very excited dog and a kangaroo. 
I have another about a weird woman who talks to herself. 
And I tell you how we're going to be spending Christmas here in Australia.
I hope you will listen to my last podcast for this year!You can find the podcast notes on my blog, Stories of an Unschooling Family.

I also discuss the following questions:
Why do attachment parenting and unschooling sometimes suffer from a negative image?
Will attachment parenting result in demanding children who rule the house?
What is the connection between attachment parenting and unschooling?
Is unkindness ever justified?
And what is the main message I'd like to share via my blog and podcast?
