[More than three kids? and learning as opposed to being mind-fed]
<< <<feeding 4 curious minds at once.....Do lots of you unschool more than
2-3?>> >>
I have three, within five and a half years of age. One day I was reading
here about someone with three kids, infant, toddler and five year old, and I
thought, "WOW! How hard that must be!" and then I remembered, "HEY, I did
that!" The memory fades. <g> Mine are 10, 13 and 16 now.
But I have found that learning often goes faster and easier when there are
more kids around interacting than when it's just my three. For one thing,
the same old toys and games are played in a new light with other kids. Some
games need more than two or three kids. Some yard activites (basketball,
playing on the swings) are more fun with more kids. Other kids have other
answers to questions, have other experiences and ideas.
