Yes I Can

🌻
Our words are more powerful than we realize!

I read that it's better for the child if you simply walked to another room to regroup - instead of saying that snarky or negative comment. Those unkind words can stay with a person - lots of us know this firsthand!

Yet, when we’re at the end of our ropes, these comments shoot out of our mouths. 🙊

So let’s bring this idea to the front of our heads.
Before we say something we might regret, do we need to pause?
Strengthening that connection with our kids can be one of the most important keys to unschooling success! 💞

How is unschooling or Self-Directed education different from most homeschooling?
Unschooling has no textbooks, no curriculum, class times, or tests. There are no worksheets or challenges imposed by adults. If your kids are interested in primates, great. You can spend as long as they want studying them. If that's one hour, fine. If that's one year, also fine. It's what the kids want, not the adults.
It is completely up to the kids what they want to learn, when they want to learn it, for how long, and how in depth they want to go. The children lead by their innate curiosity, and they learn deeply.
Unschooling is about applying the notion of consent to
the realm of education. If the kids don't want to do it, then don't do it!
