Lesson 5: Learning Experiences
As we settle into unschooling, we’ll recognize more and more the learning our children do in all their activities. We’ll learn to trust them to come to us when they want or need our help in pursuing a topic of interest. This lesson includes sections on learning at home, ‘schooly’ supplies, learning away from home, and organized classes.
Introduction
Our children learn during all of their activities. We learn more and more to recognize the learning that they are doing, whether or not they look like they’re learning, and whether or not they know they are learning. We learn to trust them to ask when they want or need help in pursuing specific interests. Only then do we help them find the resources (real-life and educational) they need.
Depending on differences in lifestyle, unschooling children may do more learning at home or away, through real life or more conventional educational means. As long as children enjoy what they are doing, their learning possibilities are abundant in any case.
