Unschooling is a type of homeschooling. It's (in a much too small nutshell!)
trusting that people can learn what they need from living life and pursuing
their interests.

If you have an agenda of academic things you feel they need to learn then it
sounds like what people would call eclectic.

Great! :-)

So if you wanted some ideas that are more along the line of what you've been
doing you might try typing eclectic into yahoo groups.

Anne Zeise has a really good page that covers all aspects of homeschooling
and might have some good links.

http://www.gomilpitas.com/homeschooling/

And Bev Krueger has an eclectic website and newsletter that might either be
directly helpful or point to some things that might be helpful

http://eho.org/

Of course you're plenty welcome to stick around and find out what
unschooling is all about :-)
