Episode #1: What do our Unschooling Days Look Like? Part 2

Episode #1: What do our Unschooling Days Look Like? Part 2

Many unschooling families find they develop a rhythm to their days and weeks over time. Some aspects might be natural and others more intentional, but almost always, connection and the individual needs and desires of the people in the family are the foundation. Join us at our Virtual Kitchen Table as we chat about what those rhythms look like from our experience and share ideas with each other.

We discuss:

Individual rhythms within family rhythms 

How we find flexibility within the structure that some kids might like 

The strength of relationship when it comes to compromise

Children developing strengths in areas such as empathy, compromise and humility 

Modelling humility and authenticity by apologizing and reflecting back to our children 

The fact that this way of life can be tiring at times!

Embracing their interests but not so much that we can’t let go

The ratio of what we bring into our days versus what children bring or the natural flow of life does. How much do we strew versus let things unfold? 

The art of not being attached to whether what we strew or offer is accepted 

Whether there might be more strewing and introduction to things when kids are young 

The reality of getting into a bit of a rut at times 

Open time doesn’t mean undefined 

The incredible focus and purpose of play

The value of a change of scenery 

The realization that we don’t always know the full depth of learning that’s happening!
