Unschooling Your Infant

Unschooling is the most liquid style of homeschooling. There is no
curriculum & no set boundaries. Lots of parents feel a bit
apprehensive about such freedom. But, even unschooling has positive
guidelines that make it a great process of homeschooling

First, permit your infant to express interests. Let her select the
topic. If he wishes to learn about flowers, tell her about the
various flowers, their functions, parts of the flower, rare flowers
etc. But don't go overboard. Permit her the freedom to cease when
he's had . This process of learning may take a month or a
day. It is up to the infant to select how much he wishes to learn.

Expand your kid's areas of interests using videos, books, magazines,
puzzles & games. Go to a museum or take her to a library.
Simultaneously, broaden your own interests. The more you know, the
more the infant gets to learn.

Notice all opportunities for learning. When in the kitchen, point out
the vitamins in fruits & vegetables. What makes tomatoes red, &
why are leafy vegetables lovely? In case you don't know the answers, don't
worry. Look it up. Finally, don't fret if the going seems slow. This
is the way children learn. Give them time & lots of encouragement.
