You obviously have a great relationship with one another that shines through your posts and I know she has the opportunity to talk freely with you should she struggle and dislike anything that is on such a rich platter a food for the mind and heart. Freedom for each family will differ and i would hope that my unshooling friends will always accept our family choices. I think that the philosophy of freedom in anything should allow for individual family choices, that is freedom to me. Relationship with my children is of utmost importance and I always try to make sure they have freedom to discuss anything with me/us, so we can do what we can to solve anything that comes up. <br />Much love to you Jeanne, RenelleDove's Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11886051375765858980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-14563975928555091662012-01-11T08:45:26.423+11:002012-01-11T08:45:26.423+11:00Welcome back!

Star, who had some serious writing issues [dysgraphia] actually loved it when I moved her to a variety of different writing implements. She likes *pretty* <br /><br />Mine was the last year to learn cursive with the old pen & ink. How I loved the whole inky thing!

We shall start our first term in two weeks, and I am still arranging things on shelves and sneaking special stationery into hiding places, to be opened on the first day. <br /><br />I am currently reading Anne of Green Gables, for my own pleasure and also to decide at what age to read it to the children (as I'm doing with a whole stack of books ... and gee it's fun!)<br /><br />Here's wishing you a wonderful year!Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696049648997719529noreply@blogger.com
