S3E5 | Unschooling and Learning Languages - with Sandra Dodd, Cecilie Conrad and Sue Elvis
Description
Language keeps showing up in unschooling conversations: Parents ask about reading, writing, spelling, confidence, exposure, and whether children will “miss something” without lessons or requirements.
Language can become the place where worries about competence, comparison, and readiness collect, especially for parents who did not enjoy language themselves.
Underlying the whole conversation is a familiar unschooling question: What happens when language is learned through living, culture, play, and shared meaning instead of study and control?
