This video makes me quite sad

I'm doubtful of the decision not to vaccinate, though they are not unique in this respect. If you read magazines such as Green Parent or Juno, which deal with alternative methods of child-rearing, the anti-vaccination movement is quite strongly represented. It is motivated by concerns over the safety and effectiveness of vaccination, and has presumably been influenced by the now-discredited (in most people's minds) link between vaccination and autism. Well-meant, certainly, but I think they are wrong.

As for the rest...It's their choice and I can't see that the children are being harmed. They're not the only family in the world who choose the unschooling way, and a child with two loving, easy-going parents are surely better off than a great many kids who are undergoing traditional schooling but don't have close and loving parental relationships.

My DD has recently chosen to home educate her little girls and I am helping her, and I support her decision to do what she thinks is best for her children. It wasn't made lightly or easily. We are taking a semi-structured approach but trying to allow plenty of free play and expression as well as literacy, maths, etc. All home schoolers are different, and who is to say how this couple's kids will turn out? It may be that they will blossom through this sort of childhood.

Apart from the obvious issues with the lack of vaccinations I think the thing that made me most sad was their affirmation that the little boy at 7 didn't need to be able to read and write at this stage and they didn't bother with it.

Reading is something all 4 of my grandchildren take great pleasure in and provides a whole new set of experiences and for that matter learning opportunities.

I have no strong feelings about home schooling, its not something I would have done and neither would my daughters but I'm sure done well its ok.

I do know that despite the fact that I never wear shoes indoors preferring to be bare foot , I wouldn't walk to my shops barefoot and I wouldn't allow a toddler to either.

But again - horses for courses.

I do worry how these children will integrate into the "real world", being able to read & write is essential as is some understanding of maths. I disagree with children not having boundaries - all children need them if only to give them something to rebel against

As for walking barefoot, indoors is fine but not outside (I am not allowed to walk barefoot indoors as I am Diabetic & have Peripheral Neuropathy)although I would prefer to.

Have severe doubts about the way they are funding (or expecting others to fund) their lifestyle

I don't give a stuff about how they will integrate. Just don't ask me to contribute to "gofundme" for £100,000 to move out of the one bedroom flat in Brighton for a better life. .

PS: if you kid peed on my carpet you would be huckled out quick smart, and never be invited again.

The boy is five, not seven. Does that make a difference?
No formal schooling in Finland until seven, and they have the best results in the world.
