A little late getting this one published but it was a great weekend. We like how homeschooling, and in particular, unschooling means that learning happens no matter what day it is. It’s also not just what Ethan learns, but it’s also what we as parents are...

As unschoolers, we try to let Ethan lead the way with what he wants to learn based on his interests. Sometimes, we throw something new at him to see if there’s something else that might pique his curiosity. And today, we had two such somethings…...

I mentioned how as a home learner the learning never takes a day off. This was evident during our road trip and it’s the same at home because kids can learn all day long. The most interesting part of Ethan’s unschooling experience has been his desire to...

This is from 2012 when Ethan was almost 4-years-old and he was helping me with making some English teaching videos. This is probably one of our favourite videos of Ethan. I’m sharing this video because we were reading to him from a young age and we think...

We had a surprisingly busy Saturday with people coming over. Our original plan was to have dim sum with my parents, but they had to bail. This worked out perfectly as Ethan got to spend time with his homeschool buddy, Kenson and play with a younger kid, too. This...
