Happy New Year 2019!

In this episode I share some solid resources that I've found very useful and supportive over time and wanted to share them with you during a time of year that sometimes needs a bit of support or motivation.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/seahomeschoolers/ is a large active secular group

https://www.facebook.com/groups/BraveScopes/ is a large active group discussing Julie Bogart's Bravewriter program

https://www.facebook.com/groups/wildschooling/ is a wonderful resource for learning and living more aligned with nature

https://www.gameschoolcon.com is a gameschool conference February 1-3 in Irvine, CA that is going to be a great event

https://playeress.com is the site for a game I mentioned, Who's She, that I absolutely LOVE!

The main topic in this episode is about not using all the great learning gifts such as art supplies, games, books, etc as formal learning and to not "teach" but rather, let your kids figure out how to use the items on their own or let them learn naturally. DON'T KILL THE LOVE OF LEARNING by formalizing it. It's easy for us to fall into the trap of always wanting to "teach" or find all the ways a child can learn from a certain resource, but it's better to let them learn organically or self directed.

Let them guide the process.
