You have articulated so beautifully the educational philosophy of my heart toward my children. Being in my 20th year of homeschooling, I look back and realize there were seasons where we operated this way but, in the upper grades I would second guess myself and methods. My 8 yr old has been thriving in a free flow educationally​enriching environment that I couldn’t define…Until now! Over the years I was drawn to aspects of educational philosophies represented by the quote section of you blog. My heart sang as I saw each one! I plan on reading anybooks on the topic I can get my hand on! What would be your favorites ?
Blessings, Diana

This sound’s really interesting to me! Are there any books that you have read to form this style of homeschooling?

My oldest is 10, then I have a 9yo, and a 6yo. Is it too late to use this method, or incorporate it somehow? If not, where would I start with the older kids?

Very Scholastic piece! I think Leadership is rather a human process than a closed system. It is a dynamic blend of paradoxes and perceptions. I will tag it to my favourite’s internet site list and will be checking back soon.

Thanks,

My daughter is 3 and quite self-directed with a strong personality. She will not sort or color or do the cute little activity trays I so wanted her to do after finding them online, but she will ask me questions about the human body, magnets, honeybees, and any other topic we happen to talk about. I myself am in love with learning and I love the idea of creating an environment for learning. Unschooling also appealed to me because of her strong personality, but I struggle with what feels to me like the lack of control. This seems like a good alternative. Incidentally, my husband and I are still trying to form our philosophy on education and our goal for our kids, but for me, for them to become leaders and to make a difference (not just get a good job and earn money) is definitely important to me. Thanks again!
