Free to Learn: Five Ideas for a Joyful Unschooling Life (Living Joyfully with Unschooling, #1)

by Pam Laricchia

Overview

Humans are born to learn. So why are we so determined to get in our children's way?

Leaving the traditional education system behind is definitely unconventional and sometimes scary, but it enables us to preserve our children's curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm for learning. And that means more learning, not less.

With more than a dozen years of unschooling experience, Pam Laricchia explains the five paradigm-shifting ideas about learning and living that freed her family from the school system's compulsory schedule and typical teaching methods. Her practical examples and stories may make all the difference in your life and the life of your child.

In Free to Learn, you'll discover: 

• Why you want to look for learning, not teaching
• How to see the learning that is happening everywhere, all the time
• How judgement and shame short circuit learning, and what to do instead
• How saying yes more encourages our children's learning and cultivates their confidence
• How to give your children a voice in your family, and much, much more! 

Through its concise, easy-to-understand language, Free to Learn explores the depth and potential of unschooling and how it can strengthen your family's learning and relationships. If you like thoughtful educational ideas, step-by-step guides, and complex concepts explained in simple ways, then you'll love Pam's robust, user-friendly book.
