Join me and my guest Michelle Barone on the next Relaxed Homeschooler Talk Radio this coming Monday at 10 am central time. This is your chance to call in and speak to a therapist who specializes in working with homeschoolers and unschoolers.

I just received a copy of her new book Finding Your Way Exploring Your Family’s Educational Journey and I am very excited about it. It is exactly what I have always hoped to find in a homeschooling book. Instead of telling you how-to or how others do, Michelle writes briefly and  openly on a series of topics familiar to all of us (your vision of your child, anger,advice, etc…) then she invites you to do some exercises on those topics to help  you explore what would work for you and your family. Its all very gentle and encouraging and at the same time it is such a powerful tool. I am trying to read it as an interviewer now, you know, what parts to bring up, what to ask about, but I find my fingers twitching to pick up a pencil and get cracking on those exercises. That’s a good sign!

We need lots of callers this week and I’m hoping my friends can get the ball rolling. Are you excited about the opportunities for fall? Overwhelmed by planning? Trying a new math program? Wanting to know how to find time for yourself or just to pay the bills? Delighted to share the highlights of your many years of unschooling with us? Whatever the topic, my guest Michelle has years of wisdom to share on the matter and I bet she’s heard it all.
