Pam shares her essay, Unschooling Passions.
Unschooling is about learning through living. As unschooling parents, we want to open up the world for our children to explore. But what if your child is passionately interested in just one thing? Doesn’t that close off his access to the world and limit his learning? I have two children who have discovered passionate interests. Instead of spending my time trying to convince them to try new things, I decided to explore their interests with them. I was amazed at how much of the world came to life when they were free, and encouraged, to immerse themselves in their deep, passionate interests.

Pam Laricchia says
Hi, Gwendolyn. Unschooling is a style of homeschooling, so the first step is finding out the homeschooling regulations where you live and getting that sorted. Then continue learning about how unschooling works. 🙂
I have a free book, What is Unschooling?, that will help you get started. And you can keep listening to the podcast, as well as read more about unschooling around the web.
All the best to you and your family!
