Riding the Fears of Unschooling
Posted by Jenny | 0 comments
I think one of the fearful aspects of unschooling is the fact that we are giving our children freedom of choice over their own learning. Let’s face it…it’s easier said than done and few even want to embark on such a fearful journey. Who would ever want to know how to perfect their handwriting unless it was made to be...

Posted by Christine | 1 comment
“Sometimes I think that the reason why I will always be a homeschooler has less to do with the way I learned academic subjects and mastered basic skills and much more to do with the way I didn’t do the thing that all kids are supposed to do.

Relaxed Homeschooling: Taking Advantage of Environment
Posted by Hannah | 0 comments
My kids get bored easily. Do yours? A week of work pages, reading and recitation had left mine with a glazed over look in their eyes and groans when I mentioned beginning lessons for the day. Inwardly, I chided myself, “Look what you’ve done to them! Where is that relaxed love of learning you like to talk about and...
A Journey To Reading
Posted by Laura | 0 comments
One of the most common questions I’ve gotten about unschooling and homeschooling is about reading. It seems that reading is the one area that most people believe must be taught. I have 2 readers and one beginning to be interested and so far all three of them have learned a different way. Our oldest daughter could not...
