The part that is missing with the relaxed/eclectic approach is still
trust. It's just being more creative with how you get information into
children, that's all. Better....but not quite the complete trust that
unschoolers have in the human ability to learn.
We may still raise butterflies or garden or go to museums, so to an
outsider we're doing some of the same activities. The difference is my
kids can show zero interest and that is just fine. The difference is
that I'm not trying to check of some subject box or define their
learning experiences for them. The difference is that we do these
things to have fun and trust that learning happens when we're alive
and breathing. 🙂
