People have been referring to unschooling as unparenting for decades - and nothing could be farther from the truth!

When people use the term “unparenting,” they usually mean something like this:

• No assistance or direction from the parents
• Parents who don’t publicly reprimand their kids when they don’t conform socially.
• Parents not enforcing bed times, allowing “back talk,” – not adhering to mainstream parenting techniques
• Kids who seem wild in public, maybe presenting with messy hair/poor hygiene

True UnParenting is neglect – and that’s the opposite of unschooling. 

People who are unparenting are ignoring, avoiding and not engaging with their children. Unschoolers fuel their child’s interests.
Unschoolers expose their kids to new opportunities.
Unschooling parents console their kids when things don’t work out.
Unschooling parents become their child'sbiggest source of support and love.

Those are the very things that make unschooling work out – unschooling parents do all of that!

Sue Patterson shares why people may accuse unschoolers of unparenting, offers explanations for this misconception AND solutions to dispel the myth.

Unschooling is widely misunderstood on the internet!
Sue Patterson, who unschooled her own 3 now-grown "kids" shares how to be successful at interpreting unschooling.

Thinking of it as a compass, it points you toward more individualization and more connection as opposed to simply duplicating what is familiar. It's time to rethink how we approach learning, parenting, and kids! This Unschooling Mom2Mom podcast can help you do that!

Sometimes it takes a while to get to the point where you try something really unconventional - like unschooling.  Time's ticking though - the kids are getting older and doing what's familiar doesn't seem to be working for a lot of people.

You DO have options! This Unschooling Mom2Mom Podcast shares how Sue Patterson went from a suburban mom who's kids weren't enjoying school - to 100% confident in the unschooling approach. She didn't do it alone and you don't have to either!

This month, her Creating Confidence Membership group is waiving the sign-up fee! Jump right in - you'll be so glad you did.
Monthly or Annual Options.

You really don't have to duplicate what's familiar. You can truly individualize the education - and the Life! - that you and the kids want!
Learn more about how Sue did this and you can too!

We have stories in our head about what Kindergarten is SUPPOSED to be like - but what if they're not reality based?

What if you're feeling conflicted about sending your little one off to Kindergarten?

Let's talk about how wonderful it could be for YOU to offer the real world to your little 5 year old! We may have to break down some ideas that we're hanging onto (that aren't reality-based) - but you don't have to do that by yourself! 

AND! I created a free PDF for you with 55 Activity Ideas to help you Unschool Kindergarten! Let's get those wheels turning!

Here's the link to grab that:
