Stories of an Unschooling Family 186: Criticism, Reviews, and Paying it Forward
This week, Imogen and I have a lively conversation about:
- The highs and lows that affect our parenting, homeschooling and creative lives
- Criticism: why do we let other people's opinions affect what we do? Whose opinions should we listen to? Why we shouldn't let criticism stop us from using our talents
- Reviews: why we don't ask for many reviews
- Writing about things we have never experienced
- Paying it Forward: is free online stuff really free?
We're also discussing some books and movies.
And we're telling stories about:
- how to remove a dead tree
- cockroaches
- how I might have made a difference to the lives of the world's dogs
- and many other things
