Exploring Unschooling

EU291: What to Do Instead of School


Listen Later

This week, I have a solo episode for you!

As the back-to-school energy hits its peak this month, I thought it might be helpful to re-commit to our choice to NOT go back to school.

It’s completely understandable to feel a bit off-kilter as the “back to school” messages ramp up around us—be kind to yourself. We can use it as a nudge to remember why we chose this path in the first place. So, with all the schooly messages around us, let’s focus on what we’re doing instead of school.

I hope you find it helpful, especially if this is your first time experiencing it!

I also want to mention that to celebrate this NOT back to school season, I’ve put my Living Joyfully with Unschooling Box Set on sale for half price for the next couple of weeks! The box set includes my first three books, Free to Learn, Free to Live, and Life through the Lens of Unschooling.

Discussion areas

  • Unschooling doesn’t look like school at all.
  • What to do instead of school.
  • Do classes hinder deschooling?
  • Keep learning about unschooling.
