There was an article on unschooing in last weekend’s Herald in the Canvas Magazine. Here are some of the photos-the article was not online:

Dionne Christian’s experience re ‘baby blues,’ and the huge over-all effect on all concerned in the family is well said.
About 15 years ago a kind friend passed on information re treatment by a professional who specialised in treating persistent baby crying. His treatment was simple and the effect magical.
Mu understanding is that often during a caesarian birth and frequently with natural birth the baby’s neck can be wrenched in such a way it gives continual pain/discomfort. Three babies I know of personally responded immediately to his care.
I would be happy to pass on further information re this treatment (subject to the permission of the physiotherapist concerned.)
