<< I can't emphasize enough how vital to unschooling I consider free

I have questions about this. It seems a major goal of the unschooling
household is for the parents to follow their own interests and allow the
children to follow theirs. I do introduce my kids to various things
through books, field trips, etc. But how can you tell when a child wants
to do something in more depth, such as take a class or get more training
in it. Will they always tell you?

Usually they tell me, sometmes I've asked them based on my perception of
their interests.

Yes, I think they will tell you.
Sometimes you may have to read between the lines or wait for them to figure it
out for themselves. This assumes the parents make it easy for the child to
let them know what they want to do.
