Hi everyone, new here and looking more into unschooling
luv_my_three_kids
Hi my name is Elaina. I'm 26 and have a 7 year old DD, 5 year old DS,
and 3 year old DD. This has been our first year homeschooling. I've
noticed over the past few months that we follow a more unschool
approach. So I'm looking more into just what the unschool philosphy
is, what works for different families and just how do you get over
your own self doubts. Right now we are with a charter school but I'm
not sure if I want to use a charter school again next year. Mostly
since my DS likes to do the majority of his learning through watching
and talking about what he sees and the charter school makes you tuen
in worksheets as proof of schooling. My son would rather die than sit
still and do a worksheet. But then I come full circle back to my own
self doubts and think how can he learn if he isn't sitting down doing
any actual lessons. I look forward to hearing what everyone has to say.

Hi Elaina and welcome!
I'm an unschooler and we've got quite a few on this list if you need to ask
questions. The only cures for those self doubts are to read and watch I
find. Read as much as you can, as many related books and personal
experiences a,d watch your son. Watch as he goes about his day and learns
from what is around him.
