"Remember, things are messy before they are perfect. Nothing worthwhile is neat and tidy." - The Wheel of Time

Kids used to play outside freely without adult supervision. They built forts, explored trails and alleys, rode bikes, and played group games like baseball, cops and robbers, and dodgeball. Kids chose sides. They occasionally got their feelings – and their bodies – hurt. But through it all they relied on each other. They learned to make friends, negotiate problems, strategize and work together. In short, they developed the life skills to work things out with each other. -Moira (lifelong unschooler)

Traditionally, childhood is the time for our little ones to develop the skills they will need to be creative, successful, productive adults. Many parents agree that childhood isn’t the same now as it was when they were young, whether that was 20 (or 30 or more years) ago. The elements lost are the most important things children need to grow into fully functional adulthood – and these elements are what authentic, “self-led” education provides as an opportunity to experience & practice – for both parent & child. - Moira (Lifelong unschooler)
