If your interested in the philosophy of Unschooling, there is no shortage of information on the subject these days. Thanks to revolutionaries like Anne Ohman, Sandra Dodd, Pam Laricchia, Joyce Fetteroll and many others, we have guidance and reassurance from the people who have embodied this lifestyle and taken the time to share their experiences.
I wanted to write a blog post that would link those of you who are interested in learning more about Unschooling to those who have lived it and shared about it. So here goes:
Pam Laricchia
I’ve heard Pam speak, read her books and subscribe to her email series entitled Exploring Unschooling.  Every time I read something she’s written I am inspired to try new things and ways of being with my kids.  Her website Living Joyfully has many thoughtful articles on unschooling, peaceful living and learning.  She also has links to some of Anne Ohman’s writings there.
Her email series, entitled Exploring Unschooling is a must for those of you interested in learning more about unschooling.  Pam writes both eloquently and informatively on the subject and will give you lots to think about.
She also has two books on Unschooling.  Free to Learn and Free to Live can be purchased here.  Free to Learn is available both in e-format and print and Free to Live is available only in e-format for now.  It will be in print version soon.  Both of these books can also be purchased from Amazon.
Sandra Dodd
Has a website with topics from A to Z that will answer just about any question you have about unschooling.  All of her children are grown now, but she continues to be a strong voice in the Unschooling community.
Her website is invaluable to those new to unschooling as well as to those who have always unschooled. In addition to her articles about unschooling, she has links to unschooling groups around the world, articles by other unschoolers and a myriad of other resources for life learning families.
Her Facebook group can be found here. Â There you can participate in discussions relating to unschooling, radical unschooling and life learning.
Her books, Sandra Dodd’s Big Book of Unschooling and Moving a Puddle and other essays by Sandra Dodd can be purchased here.
Joyce Fetteroll
Has a website entitled Joyfully Rejoicing. Â It was the first website I found as I was researching unschooling several years ago. Â What I loved the most is how she summed up unschooling. Â She said, “Put the relationship first, and let everything else settle around that.” Â I thought that was brilliant. Â The website is awesome and will address just about any question or perceived problem you may have with the radical unschooling lifestyle. Â I loved this website from the very beginning and still visit it when I need a little more inspiration or have doubt creeping into my busy mind. Â You’ll want to bookmark her website and visit it when you’re having doubts. Â If you have a question, most likely there is an article that addresses it.
Anne Ohman
Started Shine with Unschooling on Yahoo as a way of “Celebrating children for Exactly who they Are” .  She has been a speaker at Radical Unschooling conferences since 2002 and  is one of the most awesome human beings I’ve ever met.  Her group is peaceful, loving and supportive.  She has two brilliant always radically unschooled boys (now adults) who are doing awesome things in the world.  I’ve heard her speak in the past and her words moved me to tears.  Her views on life and her respect and honoring of ALL children had a profound influence on the way I have chosen to live my life with my children.  The Yahoo group has so many great conversations and is sure to support you every step of the way on your unschooling journey.  Her Facebook page is also called Shine with Unschooling.
