Unschooling Voices (#1): How did your family start unschooling?

Welcome to Unschooling Voices (#1)!

The second Unschooling Voices will come out on August 1. If you'd like to participate, click here for the details. If you post a link to this months installment, please let me know (by leaving a comment here) so I can thank you. :-)

This month there are 16 participants who submitted 18 entries.
As you click the the links that take you to the different blogs, I encourage you to comment on the ones that you particularly enjoy (tell 'em we sent ya!) or maybe offer some words of wisdom to someone at an unschooling crossroads. Everyone who participated is at a different place in their unschooling journey.

The (always optional) monthly question was "How did you and your family come to unschooling?" Some of the bloggers who answered were...

Cher at Adventures in Living

Robin at Robins Blue Skies

Laura at Ramblings of an unschooling family

Tammy at Life without school

Jo at Tricotomania

Shera at Loving Heart

Willa at Every Waking Hour who also submitted a follow up

Ivy at The Tortesian School Marm

Mary at the blog of Home Education Mag

Connie has shared a section of her book, Homeschooling Reflections (When you get to the file sharing site-click "download/view this file".)

Laura at Unschooling Maine shares the audio of an interview she did where she discussed homeschool styles and strewing.

Stephanie at Throwing Marshmellows, submitted a post on being ready where she writes how challenging the assumption that there are things that kids have to learn, can free your thinking so you can better meet their needs.

Math anyone? Jo at Trictomania talks about unschooling math and Janine at Why Homeschool talks about her daughter asking for math work.

Allan submitted a post on unstructured learning

Annalea at Renaissance Mom blogs about her opinion on the role of tv in unschooling.

And last, is my post on answering people's questions.
