yes to all of this Graham, our children are so alive and clued on and aware, they really feel and experience everything and they are not afraid to be who they are, because they have always been allowed to. We are raising children who are confident and wild and wise, and yes they have so much to teach us, because we are the ones being unschooled and they are reminding us what it is like to actually think for ourselves. I still catch myself falling back into that trap of self doubt,  that we learnt in  school. 
It really is such a joy and such a privilege to watch them grow up to be the person they want to be, who they are meant to be. x
