STANDING RESOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Unschooling can build incredible, life-long parent-child bonds. You trust them. They trust you. Give your kids a loving, respectful and happy home.
Parents may have to de-school themselves. There is a lot of FUD about unschooling. Unschooling is the opposite of being lazy and locking kids up. It’s about getting active and having a network, a caring community. There’s a balance. Kids are free to explore and choose their own path, but parents are there to guide. It’s not a completely hands-off experience.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:- Alex’s background and inspiration for taking self-custody of her son’s education
- She left Germany as a single Mom and without a specific plan other than she knew they had to leave
- Alex’s ideas of what people who can’t homeschool, e.g., in Germany
- There are certain countries around Germany that way more relaxed when it comes to homeschool so if you’re living on the border you can send them there instead.
- West River Academy was another option Alex found to be very helpful for unschooling families
- Clarifying the FUD … “Unschooling” means kids have a choice, including going to school. Also, parents do set boundaries.
- Kids learn because they need something in life, e.g., basic math skills.
- Kids learn how to learn. Then they can apply this skill to other areas and other problems.
- Alex’s son has a variety of coaches, e.g., at his boxing / MMA club.
- Unschooling is the opposite of being lazy and locking kids up. It’s about getting active and having a network, a caring community.
- Tali discusses a letter she wrote to herself when her first-born was an infant.
- Contrast between Alex’s German background and Tali’s Chinese background leads to some fun back-and-forth.
- There’s a balance in un-schooling. Kids are free to explore and choose their own path, but parents are there to guide. It’s not a completely hands-off experience.
- Not everyone you know, friends or family, will understand what you’re doing. The most important thing is that the kids feel loved.
- For Alex, the most important thing was letting go of her fear and programming … to de-school herself.
- She recommends self-discovery activities and habits. The more you love yourself, the more you trust yourself, the better it is for your kids. Fill your own cup.
- Reach out to other moms if you’re considering homeschooling or unschooling.
