2011, on Always Learning....? ?The comments are what I'm really bringing, and they will be below.
I quoted this, by Jenny Cyphers:
?
?
One of the very important aspects of unschooling that is solely on the parents, is to create a happy learning environment. Kids don't learn nearly as well when they aren't happy.?
?
It doesn't mean that every person needs to be happy at every moment of every day, it means that things that create happy momentum should be paramount from day to day.
?
?
If going to concerts with friends is something that creates happiness, do more of that. If staying at home without friends creates unhappiness, do less of that. If you want to unschool well, make your lives as happy as possible, make home a happy place, make food and grocery shopping and everything in between something that is happy.

...sounds fabulous...?how to make grocery shopping and the dreaded cleaning of the house happy things. Definitely something to contemplate.

Don't call it "the dreaded" and then stop dreading it. :-)?

By thinking of housework as "the dreaded..." there was a layer of doom to remove before the mom could see clearly what Jenny had written, perhaps.??

And in 2011, I didn't have my collection of, and clarity around, the damage of negative terminology, and of adversarial models of everyday doings.
