Parents worry all the time about whether their kids are on their devices too much. Our childhoods certainly weren't like this - and now that the kids are home all the time, that can seem like a LOT of time on technology.

So what do we do?

Sue Patterson shares strategies for how to accurately assess the situation and gives some solutions you could use today!

Unschoolers don't have to skip out on the fun that Valentine's Day can bring. 
I know, it's Hallmark Celebration... and lots of people are not big fans. But you kids might enjoy some aspects of it - and I've pulled together 10 activities your family might like to try. 

• Science Projects
• Party food ideas
• Jokes/Riddles
• Arts & Crafts
• Videos
• Love Languages
• TONS of MEMES - some would be so fun to text to your big kids!

Unschooling is about connecting with our kids. It’s going to give you insight into what they need from you. And it’s not that hard to sparkle up their lives, so they’re excited to learn about new things and grow their own VERY individualized pile of knowledge and experience. 

We don’t have a crystal ball, we don’t know how their lives will twist and pivot in the years to come. But living with them, fully experiencing life in a way that is expansive and adventurous - that’s so much better than the one size fits all learning or "finish your lessons" before you get around to the fun stuff.  
Real life is full of lessons. You just have to notice them - and dive in. 

I hope this helps you have a great Valentine’s day with your kids.  ❤︎

Many of us memorized math facts that we don't use a lot in our adult lives. But what if I told you that you actually DO use many of them - even the Pythagorean Theorem - but you just don't realize it?

This is a little different podcast this week, prompted by something that happened to me after a podcast interview as well as something I've seen recently on social media - you probably have too!

So let's take a few minutes to talk about how even something like the Pythagorean Theorem really does weave through our lives - and random memorization of theorems or math facts are probably not the best way to understand what it's all about.

You can see the transcript for this blogpost - along with 75! Uses of the Pythagorean Theorem in Real Life here:
What About That Pythagorean Theorem?
https://www.unschoolingmom2mom.com/unschooling-the-pythagorean-theorem

And if you're interested in finding all the different ways Math weaves through daily lives, my course will help you so much! You'll never need to buy an other Math Curriculum! Here's the link for the course:

After spending most of the month talking about typical unschooling days - and how nothing is really "typical", this week, I'm doing a 180!
Turns out, there ARE some things that are typical in the day in the life of a successful unschooling family. And I want you to know what that is!  Actually, I've come up with SEVEN Tips that set successful unschooling parents apart from the rest.

I now have a Typical Day Playlist over at YouTube so you can watch/listen to anything I have that refers to A Day in the Life of an Unschooler, Typical Days, etc.

I did a 15-day Challenge in my Membership Group, so if you need to dive deeper into this, you can join us through the special link for Podcast Listeners!

What IS an unschooling day like?
That's one of the most common questions when parents are thinking about unschooling as a homeschooling option. We KNOW what school looks like. We even have a pretty good guess about what traditional school-at-home homeschooling looks like. But unschooling? That's a different story!

Sue Patterson shares insight on what's typical about unschooling days - and what's the problem with trying to find a formula or someone else's day to duplicate.  Plus she's sharing 3 secrets successful unschoolers know! Now you'll know too!

Listen to the podcast for your peptalk on unschooling - the first for 2024!
