- alex_young 6y agoI was unschooled as well, in the 1980s, and I'm considering the idea of a modern interpretation of this for my future son. Any pointers on how to manage the ubiquitous devices we find ourselves preoccupied with these days? Maybe this is more of a general kids question than an unschooling one :)
- rogerkirkness 6y agoWe like using Google speakers instead of screens for things like music and podcasts. We don't let him have any screentime, but we'll change that when he's five to try and have active things. Make screens boring (e.g. greyscale, bluelight filtering, no passive apps).
