Unschooling Your Kids

WKOW-TV:

Since they were young, Christian and Georgina McKee have been able to learn what ever they wanted at their own pace.

And although reading came natural to Christian- Georgina didn't pick up the skill until she was eight.

"We knew if we sat her down and forced her to read, we would have had a very unhappy child and probably a child who probably would think that she couldn't rather than she could," says mother Alison McKee.

It's called "unschooling."

Mckee says unlike other home schooling methods- it gives children complete educational freedom.
