The new, private version of the WTM politics group. Send a request to join if you want to discuss or read about politics from any part of the world.

Being the parent of an older teen or adult child can be just as challenging as many other stages of parenthood. This group is for parents of young people age 17 and up. I hope that this space can be a safe place to vent and process these challenges, while also soliciting feedback from other parents who are in the trenches or who have been there and made it through this struggle . I also hope that we can rejoice with one another when we manage to muddle through these challenges. I'm hoping that there are some other parents out there who can offer commiseration, gentle suggestions, support, and empathy when I'm struggling and I'd love to offer some to someone else who's in the same boat. I picture this group as a circle of people, sitting around a fireplace, sipping tea, coffee or hot cocoa. When our sister weeps, we hold her hand. When one shares a victory, we rejoice together. When someone asks for feedback, we gently mention things that may have worked for our family or something we read that might be of help.

I'm going to start this off as closed but will move it to private if that is needed.

Encouragement, resource sharing, discussion - a place for those who don't quite fit into the normal Christian box. (Icon Photo used with permission - by Rod Long on Unsplash)

Entering a child in public or private school after homeschooling is a journey many homeschool families make, but there's less guidance/support than there is for when we entered homeschooling. I want this to be a safe place where those who have homeschooled and then had a child try public school to talk about their experience, ask advice, etc. If you have homeschooled, and have any children who are now in public or private school, or are considering sending one of your children back to traditional school, or have always had a mix of homeschooled and public/private schooled children, then you are welcome to join this club.

This club is for parents of middle and high school students who prefer more privacy in their discussions as they raise and educate their kiddos with developmental and cognitive challenges.

A place to discuss politics from any political viewpoint from any part of the world. Please remember that we don't all come into this with the same perspective. Here are the current rules: -Treat each respectfully. -No ad hominem attacks of other group members. -Do not tell other people how to vote. We are here to discuss politics, not the voting decisions of group members. -Don't bother SWB. -You don't have to read any thread that offends you, but feel free to present your point of view. -Posters whose comments do not engender thoughtful discussion may be removed from the group.

<p>This group is for discussion and sharing on all things Montessori (links, blogs, documents, ideas), with a particular emphasis on how Montessori methods and philosophy intersect with the world of Classical Education. Since there are lots of resources out there for ages 3-6, I'd like to particularly target ages 6+.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks! Join in!</p> <p> </p>
