When I was a kid I loooved so much those books. When I was like 6 years old, my parents didn't have that much money to buy books for me, so my dad would ask their friends and sometimes strangers with grown up kids if they had books and magazines like those that they could donate me, and many were glad to help. Here in Brazil there's a very good kid's magazine called "Today Cience is for Kids" and it was so good, I loved to read about insects and how technology works

I homeschooled my kids over 20yrs ago and it was great! Some days we did book learning and some days we followed what interested them bc they learned a lot that way too. Homeschool/unschool whatever label, it doesn't matter. What matters is inspiring and supporting other parents who are also in the community. I ❤ what you're doing! Keep at it. 👏👏👏

This is helpful. I've been researching unschooling lately and decided to do one unschooling day a week. We currently use My Father's World and are so happy with it overall, but after reading John Holt's Teach Your Own I feel like my kids do need a little more time to use their perfectly working minds.

That is a tough choice 🙈 both wonderful, beautiful resources. HearthMagic offers smaller, more specific yearly memberships ex: a year of literature guide subscriptions, a year of circle time stories etc ... they are a fraction of the cost of the yearly VIP membership. If you’re unsure maybe start of with a smaller membership? Just a thought ☺️

I'm starting to homeschool (a few months in) and interested in unschooling. Glad I found your info. I'm curious, how and when cañ your children access the learning materials? Anytime? Or is there a specific school time set during the day? Does either way affect their interest in the materials, like are they more or less interested to learn from those resources if they can access them any time they choose? Ty.

@alittleglamalotofmom 3 жыл бұрын

The kids have access to our schoolroom at any time! We have a good balance of being outdoors and indoors, so we are also not in the house or in the schoolroom all day. Otherwise, yes they would probably lose interest or get bored of our materials faster. Nature's rhythm is such an integral part of our learning as well. We follow the seasons and so we never study the same topics year-round. With this, I also rotate our books, materials, and displays on our shelves.

Ewwww! Honestly, I don't know who told you that what you're doing is unschooling, but it's nothing of the sort. Unschoolers don't choose their kids' resources, we allow them a rich assortment from which to choose. We don't break life up into "subjects", or "levels" or "school years" - we are learning naturally, all the time. Just because you're not teaching "sight words" from a boxed curriculum doesn't mean you're not still teaching them. This is the absolute antithesis of what unschoolers do. At best, you're "relaxed homeschoolers". I wish people would just stop co-opting our terms and riding on the coat tails of the beautiful, respectful movement that is unscholing. You're spereading WAY too much misinformation.

I'm not sure if she claims to be unschooling (maybe she does) but I thought maybe she included unschooling in the title because these are still good resources for unschooling if you take away the coercion and units.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipeeaK90sNm5n2Q.html Maybe this will give you a better understanding of our homeschooling. Stay if you’d like or move onto the next homeschooling channel. However, I will kindly and respectfully ask that you express your opinions with kindness. I will leave your opinions here because I like to keep this space authentic. Furthermore, this beautiful homeschooling community is not about tearing other mothers down, regardless of what style or method you choose- that I know for sure. Lastly, one of my “whys” for homeschooling is freedom. I choose to be free of labels, and small-mindedness. I have the freedom to educate my children in whichever methods I choose, and to call ourselves (or our methods) whatever we wish too 🤗

For someone so “beautiful”, “relaxed”, “carefree” and “insightful”, you’re quite the faucet of bitter negativity. Why not be the coach you are claiming to be for your children and leave a comment that actually has some construction and uplifting tonality in it? You know how easy a KZfaqr can change their title if you just had a heart to educate/give constructive criticism rather than tear down? Now I’m thinking she should leave the title and tag “Unschooling” in each of her videos just so people like you get over themselves 😁😘❤️🙏🏽 Maybe you should model for the world what it is to be the perfect KZfaqr who 100% of the viewers understand all of your intentions in everything you do... one who never receives a negative comment or disgusting attitude from any random person on the internet. Maybe you should show the world how to do Unschooling the “perfect way”, “the right way” in the strict, structured, most precise way you claim it should be done... 🦗 🦗 oh yeah... that’s right... “perfection”, strictness and precision in how to do it is not anywhere in the spectrum of unschooling, right? The hypocrisy in this comment is so potent I can smell it through my phone.

I have downloaded 3 books on unschooling: The Brave Learner by Julie Bogart Free to Learn by Peter Gray Unschooling to University by Judy Arnall The great thing about electronic books is searchability to see what is there and what is not. Of course I searched for science fiction. Only Free to Learn made any mention of it. One of the students admitted that he was obsessed with it as a kid. He became a mathematics professor at a major university according to the book. What I searched for and did not find in any of the books were Project Gutenberg and Librivox. These are free sources of material that all kinds of home schoolers should be aware of. Librivox creates audiobooks from public domain material while Project Gutenberg provides them as text in various formats. Since the oldest of these unschooling books is from 2013 and I have used Project Gutenberg since 2008 or 9 this almost amounts to criminal negligence. LOL There are 5 versions of Black Beauty in Librivox. The quality of the readings in their library varies. Most that I have tried are acceptable to good though a couple were too bad for me to tolerate. Your kids might like the dramatized version of Black Beauty which uses multiple readers for different characters. There is usually only one reader per audiobook.
