We did unschooling for quite some time. I should say more child-led learning. My now 8 year old was always, and still is, a sponge for knowledge and wanting to know and learn more. This year we tried a more structured curriculum but simply because of who my daughter is. She LOVES to learn and is like a sponge. She is always wanting to know more, learn more, do more....she is like me....a feen for knowledge. She agreed to try a curriculum. We haven't followed it to a 'T' and have flowed off a bit based on her interests, things that have popped up, etc but so far she is enjoying it. She is advanced for her age. I do think doing unschooling / child-led learning for the first few years of her life kept that passion. Had I pushed a curriculum early I feel she may have lost interest. It really depends on the child. I feel homeschooling isn't a one size fits all. It's all about reading the child, how they learn best, and working with that. Great post! Thanks for sharing!!
