the Christian Unschooling blog...Unschool myth...unschooling is unparenting
Excerpt - One of the biggest misunderstandings I’ve found that people have with unschooling, particularly in Christian Unschooling, is the question of guidance. People seem to jump to the conclusion that unschooling = unparenting. It’s a BIG problem. Frustratingly so. Christians assume that if you’re unschooling it means you’re not guiding your children or “training them up”.
So, for the record, let me very clearly state – the parenting philosophy behind unschooling typically involves a LOT of guidance, y’all!
In my opinion, a large foundation of unschooling is based on guidance. Being a guide for your child, sharing your experiences and interests, your opinions and your beliefs. But not forcing a bunch of unnecessary baggage and schedules and lessons on them.
