This group is for people in Minnesota that unschool (learn from life, rather than formal educational curriculum): adults, children, parents and nonparents.

In this group, we can ask questions, and get opinions and support.

We understand once a parent, always a parent (so parents of adult children are welcome). The parenting and living style reflected in this group is similar to Scott Noelle's, parenting coach. To quote him and his website:

"EnjoyParenting.com is a resource for parents who believe that children are innately good and that responsive, natural, creative parenting is the best way to foster their goodness.

"If you're looking for clever ways to control your child's behavior, you won't find this site very useful. But if you want to experience authentic power with your child — joyfully, nonviolently, and unconditionally — you've come to the right place!

"As an idealistic, progressive, leading-edge parent, you already have a desire to parent in harmony with your child's nature and spirit. The question is... How does one make the shift from the old parenting paradigm of control to the new paradigm of partnership and co-creation? EnjoyParenting.com supports parents in making that shift successfully, from the inside out."

"What do we need instead of people who love to sacrifice themselves for others? We need people who do what they most love, and do it well, and let others hang around or join in unforced, and share their knowledge instead of hoarding it. The behavior requires true generosity, because it allows other people to be equals, not helpless victims."
