Julie has four children and has recently completed her eighteenth year of homeschooling. As children, she and her husband were both bullied and she didn’t want her children to have the same experiences, and the idea of homeschool resonated with them.

While on a family camping trip the family on the next site was a homeschool family of eight. Julie felt like it was a God-incident. They were so impressed with the family, how close they were with each other, and the maturity of the older children. It was a turning point for the Polancos.

*This is an excerpt from the interview with Julie Polanco on God Schooling. Listen to this broadcast for the entire content.

Julie realized after not too many years that it became a real chore trying to get the kids to do what she thought they should be doing.

God Schooling

Within a short time, God revealed a need for something different. And at the time, Christian unschooling was a “dirty” word. Yet, Julie felt like the Lord was leading their family toward a Christian unschooling approach, in a sense, it is child-directed learning.

  • Secular Unschooling allows the child to learn what they want when they want, how they want, and if they want. It often looks hands-off. l
  • Children will not always choose wisely or productive pursuits.
  • God Schooling

    • God Schooling is focused and informed by the child’s passions and their natural bents and interests
    • Parents work with their children by collaborating. It is relationship-driven.
      • Questions such as: What is God doing in this child? Where what how is God shaping this child?
      • How can we (as parents) develop our children’s passions and interests?
      • How can we direct our children toward productive uses of their time to develop those skills?
      • How can we train our children with good habits, morals, and good character?
      • Parents are very much involved and looking at how the child is using their time and making sure that the skills development happens.

        Wellness and Herbalist

        Julie has always had an affinity for nature and plants. She has learned that many plants have medical qualities, and some are derived into essential oils. After battling an illness in her twenties Julie turned to natural remedies to return to wellness.  (More on the audio.)
