92: Does My Trust in Unschooling Ever Waver?

This week, I talk about:
Trust: It's easy to trust when things are going well but is that real trust?
Being a support driver for young learner drivers: Do we sometimes have to be adventurous and do things we don't want to do?
Children who don't seem to fit easily into the world: Should we watch out for ways to help each other?
Praise: Is it good or bad? How do we encourage our kids to be humble about their talents?
Creativity: Do you ever yearn to create but don't have the opportunity because you have small children who need your time and attention?
Creative Art and English resources: art documentaries, Jane Austen mini-series, film scores and cinema history
