#19: Am I Doing ENOUGH?

2021/05/17

When people begin to homeschool in a less-traditional way - like unschooling - they often worry if they are doing enough, providing enough, educating enough. Sure, it would be a lot easier to follow a curriculum or just do what the teacher/expert told you to do. But now you’re aspiring for more than that kind of mindless following. While you recognize that the one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for you or your child, that does put a significant amount of responsibility on your shoulders. And

#12: Deschooling... for HOW long?

Deschooling can be difficult. We have a lot of unlearning to do ourselves, right? And it's a bit like pulling the thread on the sweater? You pull thinking that will be that, but it goes on and on! And sometimes, you THINK you've allowed enough time, but you're still struggling. You may need to do more digging around to get to the heart of what's worrying you.

#9 Overcoming Fears about Unschooling

Unschooling Mom2Mom ·

2021/03/21

Fear holds us back from the Life we could be enjoying!Over all these years of talking with parents, I've noticed that the most common fears fall into these categories:☞ Fear about Dealing with Others☞ Fears about Yourself and your capapbilities☞ Fears about Your Child and their choices and/or capabilitiesSometimes our fears stem from a lack of knowledge. So once we educate ourselves on these topics, the fear can dissipate. It may have been way off base - but how would you know if you

“I want their learning to be INSPIRING to them!”“I seem to fall back on the way I learned in school.”“What am I supposed to DO?”Parents come to me all the time WANTING the educational experience with their kids to be creative and full of excitement. But even when they start out that way, the familiar school approach pops up and they begin to question it all. Worries about “staying caught up” or if they’re learning “enough,” come flooding in and crowd out all those fragile little thoughts of

2021/03/15

When we first start to think about unschooling, it’s scary for most of us. We’re so used to relying on “experts” to handle everything. The idea of taking responsibility for ourselves usually doesn’t sit that well with us. We’ve been conditioned to believe that we’re not really capable and we NEED those experts.But that’s simply not true.Read more here: How do I start Unschooling?___________________________________________Ready to strengthen that Unschooling foundation?
