We’re homeschoolers with most of our educational eggs in the unschooling basket. The unschooling philosophy is what works for us, though I resisted for a good year before I realized all of our best days and biggest breakthroughs have been on the days when we relax and follow our bliss. Tonight, for instance, my four year-old, who we’ll call “E”, wanted to play cards with me. He was quite disappointed when I opened up a generic alphabet deck.
“Dang it! I wanted cards with aces and jacks!”
So we proceeded to play around with the cards and he worked very enthusiastically on some great four letter words. I strongly believe that it’s never too early to work on the four letter words!
