on their own

I am always feeling fortunate that we chose unschooling from birth. I have seen it written that if your kiddos are not of "school age" your not really unschooling. I disagree. Unschooling is more then just how they learn, it is how you live with you children. We see, daily, the rewards of that relationship. But they are learning at this age, for us 2 1/2 years old. There is language, of course, and more recently Scout is developing an interest in math. Sorting to be exact. She sorts everything. Here are some shots of her playing with some little people. She collected all the "same" style of people, then began lining them up in every way imaginable. All the while she is talking with them and creating a story about what they are doing. There is so much learning going on here. I have absolutely nothing to do with it...she is driving the learning. Trust your kids, they will make it happen!
