My guest today is Ruth Macallan, who I also chatted with in episode 54. Ruth is originally from the UK but she and her family live for most of the year in Zambia where her husband runs an NGO. Today, amongst other things, we talk about boredom and how to help our children navigate those tricky moments, and we talk about the huge value in just slowing down and enjoying the present moment. And, Ruth tells us about their unschooling life in Zambia. I hope you enjoy the conversation. Connect with Ruth on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/raising_bush_babies?igsh=MWR0eXJodHd2YTk5Yg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr'>Instagram</a>You can find my blog, workshops and courses at: <a href='https://www.esther-jones.com'>www.esther-jones.com</a> Or, connect with me on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/_esther.jones/'>@_esther.jones</a> Facebook:@theunschoolspace

#85 Slowing it all right down, with Ruth Macallan in Zambia

Unschooling isn't just about education, it's a life choice! For most parents, embracing unschooling requires some serious unravelling of old paradigms around parenting, learning and childhood, and that can be both challenging and exhilarating.&nbsp; Join me, Esther Jones, a mindful parenting coach and unschooling mother-of-three, as I take a look at the many opportunities for reflection that naturally arise in an unschooling home. Each episode, I chat with other parents about their family’s&nbsp; experiences.&nbsp; From self-care, neurodiversity and mindfulness, to how to live consensually and trust our children, this podcast is here to help parents navigate the everyday challenges so they're free to create a healthy, nourishing and enriching space for themselves and their family.&nbsp; Thanks for listening!
