Question about unchooling with my 4 boys...

[Kristie Visser]

Hi!

 

I have 4 boys - 5, 4, 2 and 1yo.  I'm hoping to start unschooling in the new year with my oldest, but for now I trying to implement the principles on my younger boys...

 

I have a question - I'm a little worried about how I can manage unschooling with 4 boys - just from the perspective that if one is interested in going to the zoo and 3 aren't or vice versa (for example) how do you work that out... I understand where possible I would leave those that don't want to be involved at home but that isn't always possible as my husband works. 

 

An issue we currently have (that wouldn't change when unschooling) is if someone has a sport/hobby class and then I have to pull everyone away from what they're doing to take them...

 

I assume more people have the same issues and was wondering how you deal with this in your family?   Thanks!
