Have faith that they will learn. Unschooling, child led education, is such a leap of faith especially when you consider that most of us and our parents, were indoctrinated via the "system" of "formal education". The idea that children will have a desire to learn without being *forced* is hard to wrap our heads around at times.
There's been so many times I've wondered these exact same things then I sit back and actually look at my son and what he is doing. He never ceases to amaze me! He is living proof that unschooling does work. At least it's worked beautifully for him.
Your children are creative, curious, and intelligent individuals that are thriving under your guidance. They and you will be fine! Hang in there!

PS I love your unschooling comic strips! Good job!
