Have you tried to Unschool kids? What reading or other material have you enjoyed on this topic?

• voisin 6y ago
  Our eldest would just be starting kindergarten so our first hand experience is limited, but we have connected with tons of people that homeschool and unschool and had planned to do this even pre-Covid. We move a lot and wanted to have a more hands-on approach to teaching our kids so we started with homeschool research but unschooling has seemed like a far better fit. We’ve read a lot, my wife far more than me. It has been amazing hearing from people with older kids who, thanks to Covid, have been forced to try home learning and now aren’t going back. Several people we know have started unschooling kids older than ours and have seen a dramatic improvement in their kids’ confidence and interest in exploring new things. This list of resources is pretty great: https://livingjoyfully.ca/resources/ https://livingjoyfully.ca/resources/ The book Free to Learn and the John Holt books listed are excellent starting points. We would also highly recommend Pam Laricchia’s books and podcasts.
