This "Peaceful Partnership" list is for adults who already live a radical unschooling lifestyle with their children. Understanding the concepts of consensual living, attraction parenting and whole life learning are essential to the discussions on this list. Our discussions focus on how to extend the same principles to our relationships with our partners.

We promote keeping our focus and energy on ourselves and on how our own actions and shifting of perspective may bring more joy to our own lives and, hopefully, bring more joy into the relationship with our partners.

This list does not promote controlling, changing, manipulating or converting other people. This is not a place to complain about other people, rather a place to come to examine our own thoughts and actions and encourage our own positive growth. This list is about recognizing the joy in loving and accepting our partners for exactly who they are.

This list is for people who already practice radical unschooling and peaceful/respectful parenting.

If you are new to the idea of radical unschooling and peaceful/respectful parenting, please visit Sandra Dodd's http://sandradodd.com/unschooling and Joyce Fetteroll's http://joyfullyrejoycing.com/ websites to obtain more information about those concepts.

This list's discussion will center on the partnership relationship. There are more appropriate lists on which to discuss the parent-child relationship.

Disclaimer: The list moderators are not relationship experts. This is simply a forum for discussion.
