We fully believe that kids (and adults!) learn best when given the freedom and flexibility to pursue interests, as opposed to being force-fed information.
We weren’t always following an unschooling rhythm, but over time ditched our boxed-curriculum in favor of a meaningful education.
Since we made the switch to an unschooling life, our kids are blooming and loving their learning more than ever before.
We hope that these bits of our own family’s unschooling/lifeschooling days inspire others in their own learning adventures!

We didn’t do one when the kids were 10, 11, and 15 because we were in the middle of building our home ourselves! Literally our days were consumed with all things related to home construction, peppered with reading aloud and teaching Big Bro to drive!
