Unschooling in Perspective Part 2.

I have come across a fantastic definition regarding Radical Unschooling. I now share this with you…it’s from: Daikini Crossroads

Unschooling:

Trusting that your children can and will learn all the academic skills and information that they need to live fully without enforced lessons – the “not doing school” part. The parents’ job is to create the environment, both physical and mental, wherein interests and passions can be discovered and facilitated.

Radical Unschooling:

Extending unschooling trust to all areas of your whole life, living by general Principles such as Honesty, Kindness, Respect, Acceptance, Generosity instead of having rules, chores, required behaviors, punishments of any sort. It is about building relationships, respecting children as autonomous beings and creating an environment where the freedom to make real choices is fostered and individual preferences honored as much as possible within real practical constraints (as opposed to having some kind of behavioral control agenda).

And I also wanted to share this great and cute video with you all.
