We enjoy watching them explore and discover. We have seen our children exceed and transcend our expectations when they are encouraged to choose their own way. We don't forsake them, just step out of the way. We support them in every way we can and try to anticipate interests and needs. Since each child is different, we notice that we unschool each one differently.
Every day is an adventure.
Children are doing things because they have taken responsibility for carrying out the actions needed to fulfill their desires. The child learns that if he wants something to happen, he has to make it happen. If you think about unschooling in terms of how adults learn, it's easier to understand. You might read a few books, take a class, look it up on the internet, watch someone who already knows, ask questions, etc. You might find, after you do some initial research, that you aren't really interested.
