Child-Inspired Learning: Moving Beyond Traditional Approaches

There are things I want to impart to my kids, no question. But I’ve discovered that learning doesn’t necessarily happen because I said something out loud, or because my children read a passage, narrated it, completed a math worksheet, wrote a lab report, or watched an educational video.

Some days, I expected them to be like little computers that could receive a daily upload. I did this because it made me feel their education was being created and measured in tangible ways.

I thought: if I could do the work to research a topic, buy the book, plan the lesson, and teach it once or twice, then reinforce it, the kids should learn, right?

Alas, after homeschooling many children over many years, I’ve learned that most meaningful learning doesn’t happen that way. The question becomes: how do we truly facilitate child-inspired learning in our homeschools?
