"An abundance of beauty," March 31

March 31 is my wedding anniversary, but I'll do a chat anyway, so be nice to me!

I get to pick the topic, then. Art, as described in this Just Add Light post:

I think times will change again for some people, if Europe has initiated clock-change season. Back to the way it was last month, I'm pretty sure. Please put a reminder on your phone or computer, because I might forget to send another e-mail.

As kids get older/social...

Attachment/relationship/​social-coach

How can we help children nagivate social situations?

This week the times are odd because Europe isn't on daylight savings time and the U.S. is. Please double-check times! Thanks.

TIME CHANGE and Strewing

It's daylight savings time at my house (and north America's houses, as applicable).

Anyone who lives where daylight savings time doesn't happen, or in Europe where it will happen in two weeks, please double-check your times. I think this is the deal for two weeks:

11:00 am Pacific
noon Mountain time
1:00 pm Central
2:00 pm Eastern
6:00 pm Lisbon/UK
7:00 pm Leiden

Thursday, March 17, 2016:

STREWING is the topic! Think of misconceptions or problems with strewing. If we can see what can go wrong, we can avoid that and only strew the good and happy way! Think of ways to describe it to newer unschoolers to help them avoid confusion.

March 10, Joy

March 10 chat topic: Finding and Maintaining Joy

For those who want to warm up in advance, there's this short article on my site: Rejecting a Pre-Packaged Life, that's about finding enjoyment in everyday things.

In a podcast in which she interviewed me, Pam Laricchia said she named her website "Living Joyfully" because of that article. Here is that interview: Ten Questions with Sandra Dodd
and here's something Pam wrote about maintaining joy by choosing positive friends over negative, critical ones: Joy is a Beacon for Community and Growth

March 3 Uses of "the media"

I'm SO SORRY I forgot to put a notice of the chat here early in the week.

I went and put it in the chat room, and thought I'd done what I came to do, I think. :-)

MEDIA—what is it, and what's it good for, for unschoolers?
