Unschooling Question
[email protected]
Hi all! I have a question that has been concerning me about my kids. I have a
9 1/2yr. old son and a 7yr. old son. My 9 yr old will ask me every question
under the sun about everything in life. Together we find and search out the
answers to all his questions (and sometimes he reads and searches for answers
by himself). But, my 7 yr. old never asks us any questions about anything. He
loves dinosaurs and big trucks. He does a lot of dinosaur digging in the back
yard and he plays with his trucks most of the day. He looks at picture books
but doesn't yet read. I haven't pushed him in anyway to learn anything. But,
yet he asks us no questions about anything. Is this strange or normal or
what? Is it because he learns in a different way? Should I be concerned or
just let things be? Any suggestions? I would appreciate some advice about
this.
