Hello,
I am new to the list and sort of new to unschooling. I have 4 children ans have been homeschooling for nine years. I have never consciously chosen to unschooling before but did fall into with the birth of my babies, illnesses, etc. We ha e sort of been unschooling for six months this time since my baby was born. I have only recently considered unschooling as a full-time way of schooling my children. I was wondering if anyone could give me ideas or suggestions for beginning a full-time unschooling lifestyle? My children are 11,7, 4 and 6 mos.

Live as though you're on vacation. :-) Not summer vacation where kids
are sent off to play, but all together on vacation. Explore. Do
things. Be out of the house. Be in the house doing things too. (TV and
video games and exploring the internet is *also* doing.) When they're
engaged step back to awareness and readiness. Strew their lives with
interesting things for them to pick up (or not.)

Here's a couple of pages of ideas to get you started:
