Learning about unschooling helps parents who are new to homeschooling or self-directed learning - it's all part of seeing learning in ways that go beyond the school version of how most of us learned as children. The world is a different place now, and our kids need their learning environments to change with the times!

Thank you so much for this. Definitely eased my mind. I've been beating myself up for not doing our curriculum books. We learn daily through life. And noone learns when they feel awful... including Mom. Thank you for helping me find some peace in what I am doing. I am enough. My kids are enough. What we are doing is enough.

First year homeschooling and replicating the school system isn't working for us. You are a saving grace for my peace of mind!

[sarahp]

So glad I watched this, I've been doubting myself and hadn't yet taken mine out of school even though they are miserable, time to bite the bullet and do what I know is best for us. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this!! We received our Homeschool ID from the state and just unenrolled our 5 children from PS last week and we all have been absolutely loving our first week of deschooling!!! The kids and us as parents absolutely feel and function better now that we are not forced to get up every morning at 6am for PS and that we have so much more freedom to what, when, where and how we learn! We will be spending the day on the beach Wednesday next week for our twins birthday. If they were still in PS we would have been restricted to celebrating on the weekend and not on their actual birthday. They are super Anyone considering unschooling PLEASE give it a try. It opens your eyes and minds to a whole NATURAL way of learning, loving and living!

I've been homeschooling for nearly 5 years but I'm just now diving into unschooling. This video is so spot on!

[carissasanders]

2:43 is so true. I’m much more careful when I buy school supplies now because if I buy something that’s not the right fit it feels like a heavy burden pressing over me that I now have to figure out how to use because I’ve invested so much in it even when it’s not good for our family. It’s very very true to be careful what you spend your money on because it can end up derailing you.

Good stuff! My kids have never been to school, but I hear about these concerns from curious parents all the time. I like your take on deschooling, in particular. It’s often talked about at Not Back To School Picnics, where families new to unschooling are desperate to “do it right.” There’s always a circle of veteran unschooling mamas patting their backs and reassuring them, like you are here. Great resource!

[mohanbabu]

A great piece of wisdom. Thank you so much for enlightening the parents who are really thinking of unschooling their noble offsprings.

[MrsAuraR]

I been homeschooling unschooling since “virtual yr” 2020😊💡❤️🙏🏽NYC

[jazzT]

So happy I found your channel, you explain things so well....I feel in my heart, that this is the path I need to take with my kids, my son who is now in "grade 3" is so stressed out with school and has ADHD I believe, he's smart and is motivated to learn but gets easily overwhelmed when I open up workbooks...I want learning to be fun and not stressful at all, I'm excited to start the unschooling journey

[brittanyash]

Omg, you are so wise, gentle, nurturing, and encouraging. I am so in alignment with you and your material. I very much resonate with this and all the points that you make.

Thank you. 🙏

[growingupbaseball]

Thank you for this!
It's generally things most humans would connect with, and spark a light of hope within...yet the fear, and constant feeling of inadequacy of parents tends to snuff out the great points you mentioned here. "You do..but you don't.." I'm grateful for the Homeschooling range of methods..

[Peaceandlove.O]

New to this. Glad I found your page. I've never heard of unschooling. Its so fascinating. My son really struggles in school because of boredom. He hates sitting all day he says. Thank you for the information!

[mamachicken]

Hi Sue. I would just like to say thank you for making this video for new homeschoolers. I just saw your video in the feed of YT. I homeschooled both of my kids K-12 from 2002-2017. It was a long journey. No regrets. Both myself and my kids say they were blessed to have had the life learning experiences of homeschooling. I found it quite a struggle early on because I didn't know where to get curriculum and just guidance. So it's great to see people like you putting info out there for new parents.

[annab]

This lady was really helpful the way she explains and articulates the process and experiences

[unconditionallovehomeschoo]

Thank you! I unschool for 5yrs now and I need reminding everything you said.

[MarieJohnson]

I am def guilty of #3! I am an unschooling mom to FOUR boys, including identical twins and I have to work to keep the comparisons at bay since my boys are all so close in age. Thank you for this reminder <3

[rayleenhughes]

Thank you for this video! It has really helped me, definitely put my fears at ease. Just starting out unschooling journey.

[amandarombs]

What a great video! Thank you for your insights! I love your train of thought on all of this! :) This is our first year of homeschool which quickly turned from workbooks to unschooling. We have learned so much more through unschooling than anything. Love it! Your #8 recommendation threw me is it supposed to say "DO TAKE time to deschool" ? I have found it quite important to teach my kids how they are learning all the time, not just when we sit down to 'do school'. :) thanks again.

[cassandrajackson]

Thank you! There is much wisdom here in your video. ❤ I'm trying to find a good learning/teaching style for my son and I. It feels so scary at times, because of the judgments and comparisons. I can be more aware now.
