I love the term "parenting by exposure". After a brief time in a traditional school, I decided to pull my children out and unschool them. This is exactly how unschooling works. Expose them to a variety of life experiences so that they can discover their strengths and passions. I cannot be prouder of how they have turned out. This is not only good for them intellectually, but emotionally as well. A child that learns how to have mastery over things grows up to be self-confident and happy.
