Radical Unschooling with Author, Speaker, and Mother Dayna Martin

Unschooling philosophy holds that children are natural learners, they learn all the time, and they learn most effectively through inner motivation. Unschooling children may use a variety of methods, including the use of conventional educational materials, to accomplish their learning goals. The key is that it is child-directed learning, or natural learning. The role of an unschooling parent is to support their children's interests, trust their children to make decisions for themselves, and help their children accomplish their goals, which may include answering questions, finding answers, giving instruction or guidance, and locating apprenticeship opportunities or other sources of knowledge and experience. "Radical Unschooling is an evolution of our understanding about learning and the rights and respect of children. We are on the cusp of change and many people are looking for alternatives to the traditional schooling model. With Unschooling, we are reprioritizing. We are taking back our freedom and putting happiness, connection and family first!" Dayna Martin. Dayna Martin, author of Radical Unschooling: A Revolution Has Begun, is a speaker and writer whose four children have never attended school. She founded Unschooling United, a non-profit organization dedicated to the radical unschooling movement, as well as the discussion group, Radical Unschooling with the Law of Attraction.
