I'm trying to take more of an #unschooling approach to #homeschool and if nothing else it has given me the freedom to not stress when we get "behind".

![There are two common “themes” that Unschooling currently encompasses. The first, is the true meaning. A completely self led learning experience. Wherein the child’s education, (or lack thereof,) is left entirely up to the child themselves. No outside influence from parents or guardians is pressed upon the child to encourage or enforce education.
The child is free to learn WHAT they want, WHEN the want, HOW they want & IF they want. The parent’s maid [sic] role is that of the question answerer. The experience provider. The guide, & the stable foundation from which to garner information when asked.
This approach encourages a willingness to ask, be curious, delve into interests, explore opportunities, and to ultimately be a self starter who trusts their OWN minds, desires & abilities.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5idxn5zwk7mefivhkrs4tmvk/bafkreiabs3zvy47bevtrkujwzle2musnkbo3l2xzpwb433piisult2cvvm)
