I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less “showily”. Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself… Teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experiences.

About Me
I am a stay at home mama of three gorgeous boys living in a small city in the province of Quebec, they make sure that I never have a boring day... We unschool, we believe in living consensually and respectfully and we try to live as Naturally as possible. This blog is about my life... parenting, unschooling, cooking, sewing and whatever else comes to mind...
