Stories of an Unschooling Family
Education
This week, I’m talking about:
Desires and Expectations
Are desires good? Are expectations about control? Can our expectations spoil our family celebrations?
Challenges
Should we give our kids space to set their own challenges? Do we need to challenge ourselves too?
Books
Do people judge us on our book choices? Can sharing the books we’re reading lead to some stimulating unschooling conversations?
The Santa Myth
Is it wrong to pretend Santa brings gifts to our kids? Is that lying? Should we eliminate Santa from our Christmas celebrations? Or is it possible to include the magic of Santa with the true meaning of the season?
2023
What were the highs and lows of my year? Does blogging about our kids lead to problems? Should adults make time for their passions and interests? Can we feel lost when our kids grow up? How do we move on? What do we do while we’re working out what to do next? Is it important we’re successful in a big way?
Stories
I’m sharing a story about books, people’s opinions, and the difficulties of parenting: Is it Risky to Share Our Book Collections? What Will People Think?
I’m also sharing a story about the Santa myth and family traditions from my book, The Unschool Challenge.
