Hi Sue. I just have, I don't know, a quick question. I have four kids. I've kind of believed in unschooling, very relaxed homeschooling to unschooling. And I have one son, he's 11. I just don't know what to do with him. I've decided that maybe we need to stop the schooling aspect. Um, no more math, maybe no more geography and all that. Um, I'm just concerned that he seems aimless. He doesn't really seem to have any interests, and he is someone that I'm afraid is super lazy, and I just don't know what to do with him. But um, we have a good relationship. I don't want to destroy it, but he's always fighting anytime we do any type of school. He doesn't do his chores well, he throws a fit. I really just don't know what to do with him. He's my first boy, and I just I don't know, I'm at a loss. So any wisdom would be great. Thank you.
