Unschooling Snapshots: Growing up

This is one of the reasons I have cut back on the work I am doing.
Our oldest is in a place where she needs her mom more and more often.

We are spending a great deal of time talking about where she is, where she has been, and where she wants to go.

She is growing up quickly. She knows her struggles and is trying to rectify those areas.

She is seeking wisdom, learning to be quiet and wait (a hard lesson for this child who was born talking constantly).

She is slowly gaining it and constantly struggling with herself, trying to get where she is going, trying to grow closer to God.

It is a two steps forward one step back process and it is time consuming and a joy.
