Unschooling Q&A

How do I talk about Unschooling with my family and friends?

In Unschooling we can focus on following my children’s interests but what happens when my child is not interested in anything and they are doing nothing all day?

How do we go from the structure of school to freedom? What is the transition to independence? 

We Unschool but I have a child that wants to do workbooks. What do I do because this doesn’t seem like Unschooling!?

How do we know when to trust, when to guide from a distance and when to intervene? 

Am I enough to do this homeschooling or unschooling thing? 

Have any of these questions crossed your mind? I am sure that at-least one of these has come up for you when it comes to unschooling, or homeschooling. 

 

Answers In This Episode

This episode is a recording of a wonderful LIVE discussion that Liana Francisco and I hosted in my club, Honey! I’m Homeschooling on the Clubhouse app.

We asked for questions from families that needed support or wanted to just learn more about Unschooling and we devoted a month within the club to deep dive and answer as many questions as we could. 

We received so much positive feedback from this conversation that I decided it was time to share it on the podcast.

  • This episode is for you if you are looking at the unschooling world and like what you see, but are just not sure if it will fit.

  • This episode is for you if you recognize you need to do something different with your family learning life, but are just not sure what yet. Could unschooling be something to consider?
