The power of unschooling

Unschooling my children has enabled me to see my children for Who They Are right NOW rather than focusing on who I need to mold them into for the future. It has enabled me to live in the moment with my family without fear. I can appreciate the beauty of what my children *do* know, while still helping them experience the things that are new for them. Unschooling has empowered me to question the answers instead of only answering the questions. It has enabled me to learn from every experience without fear of failing. There is no failure in unschooling. There is only learning from any missteps and moving forward. Unschooling is the journey, not the destination.
