My heartfelt gratitude for the Rethinking Education Conference and my conversations with Dayna Martin which were pivotal in my understanding and working through of my own judgment.

What you’ll find in this episode:

‘Reconcile’ (v.) – To bring (oneself) to accept

Stages: 1) defensiveness, 2) judgment/self-righteousness, 3) understanding

We ‘know’ we’re right…. so do they!

Be strong and solid in what your goal is for your family.

Unschooling- not everyone wants to do this! Support educational reform. Vote!

Gentle parenting- set an example. Be true to yourself and model positive parent-child interactions. Everyone is doing the best they know how to do.

Seek support!- Read, attend, form/join a tribe!

Music selection: Respect- Train

As I was listening to this podcast, I kept thinking “I have to remember that” and “I need to remember that, too.” Thanks for the great perspective. I’ll be recommending this podcast to friends and family!

Hey Sarah! I JUST listened to this podcast! Last year I was having issues with my computer and it not wanting to play podcasts for some reason and then once that was all taken care of I just lost track of these podcasts. Then, they stopped being announced on your blog (clanofparents) and I thought you had stopped making them!

Long story short, I just discovered THIS blog tonight and have been trying to do some catching up. I want to say thank you SO much for the shout out and I hope you didn’t think I was just being rude and not acknowledging that you said hi…

Thanks SO much again for shouting out to me and addressing my question/suggestion for a podcast. I thought it was AWESOME.
