I just had to copy and paste these words from Leonie's Blog. I should have been in the shower, or cleaning............or something! but instead I was loitering on the computer for way longer than necessary but I'm so glad that I did because this is what Leonie wrote on her blog.

Don’t make cookies to teach math. Make cookies because they taste good.

I love this quote. It paints a picture of how I feel I should live, as an unschooler. Interested in life, yes. Learning and teaching naturally, yes. But avoiding those overly contrived situations. Avoiding making everything a teachable moment.

Everything IS a teachable moment. We don't have to contrive to make it so.
