Nest makes me think of my home environment. When I was studying education (earning my degrees), the educational environment was key. If you pause for a moment, you probably remember the cozy classrooms where it was more like a home with a reading nook or loft, bean bag chairs, and games set-up in a corner. Well, that is important at home as well. I enjoy nesting for our learning pursuits. Related games and puzzles are out, books and DVDs are accessible, but most importantly technology and physical work space and needs are provided. Each kid has a phone with needed apps, our TV upstairs has Netflix, amazon prime, YouTube, and xbox, carving tools, sewing materials, art supplies, paper, and favorite pens/markers are on hand. This helps make learning fun and allows it to happen without much oversight.
Just something to ponder, notice, and observe as you take the journey with your family on this unschooling path.
