Please realise that the world is actually full of both resources and people who can support the child. We need not always look at home, parents and teachers for resources and people. When we start looking and asking, a lot of people and places which were not normally considered to be part of the education system suddenly spring up. Eg: A neighbour or relative can guide the child with the physics theory behind the carpentry while a local carpenter down the road can help with the working of the tools.
One does not always need to attend a class or workshop to learn. Internship which was the staple way of learning for hundreds of years in our education history is perhaps the least explored one. Also realise when somebody who has keen interest in any field mentors an equally keen learner – it has a different energy to the whole learning exchange.
How would the family provide all the resources / resource people and experts the child would need?
