Oh, but it’s so much more than that! That answer really only describes how our child learns. We believe in unschooling as a whole life philosophy, not only a method of parenting or a view of the natural learning process. It’s a method of living; how we view and approach life. To us unschooling is not only about our children, it’s about all of us. Unschooling your whole life means… Want to explore this deeper?
