I went a couple minutes over my usual 5-10 minute goal because, you know, technology. We have a lot to talk about!

If you're worried about your kid's focus on Technology, this podcast is for you!
Let's open the conversation and see what's going on.

I want to bring you a little clarity with my Six Ideas to Ponder About Technology and Kids.
You don't have to choose between "Total Control Freak Parent" or the "Total, Sure-Anything-and-Everything-Is-Cool Parent." There's a lot of gray in between the two - but you'll only be able to find what's right for you if you can clear out the fear and worry about the topic!

When you’re not using a lesson plan or a curriculum, focusing on strengths gives you a little bit of a guide… something to keep at the front of your mind as you’re moving along on your unschooling journey.

Let's break down why this is so important. And even though the school way of focusing on gaps and weaknesses is so familiar, I want you to hear why it's not the best approach!

Text Sue what you think!

One of the most popular questions unschoolers/homeschoolers face is "What about Socialization?" It's asked so often, we frequently refer to it as "The S Word."

It's not surprising when new people ask about this because we've all been so conditioned to believe that the schools PROVIDE the socialization that kids need. As many of us found out when our kids actually went to school (or if we think about our own school experience years ago) it may not be the best way kids learn to get along with others.

In this podcast, I talk about this some more. Also addressing worries about lacking access to other kids, developing social skills, and that concept of "toughening kids up."

Hopefully this will help you begin to see that socialization isn't as big of an issue as you've been thinking.

And of course, I have resources! 

• Join the membership group if YOU need more socialization! ha!
  Come surround yourself with supportive parents walking this unschooling path.
  AND get resources galore and coaching from me every week!

• Dive deeper into this concept of "Socialization" in my Unschooling guide. After 25 years of discussions, I've collected what you need to know to overcome this fear.

Also! Some generous listeners have asked that I give the opportunity to financially support this podcast. Not on an every-month-subscription basis, but more of a "This was a good one, Sue!"  So I've created a way! Any amount is appreciated!

Text Sue what you think!

Everyone is looking for a plan! A way to make unschooling work in their home.
And we've all been convinced that "kids need structure."
The problem is, we have a bit of a warped idea about what that means.

It's not that unschoolers don't have a structure and even a schedule, they just have different priorities.  Let's talk about that and then I'll give...

Sue's  5 Tips for Structuring and Scheduling Your Day!

And if you're a worksheet kind of person, the Creating Confidence Membership has all kinds of tools to help you manage your days!
