Episode #1: What do our Unschooling Days Look Like? Part 2
Many unschooling families find they develop a rhythm to their days and weeks over time. Some aspects might be natural and others more intentional, but almost always, connection and the individual needs and desires of the people in the family are the foundation. Join us at our Virtual Kitchen Table as we chat about what those rhythms look like from our experience and share ideas with each other.
We discuss:
Individual rhythms within family rhythms
How we find flexibility within the structure that some kids might like
The strength of relationship when it comes to compromise
Children developing strengths in areas such as empathy, compromise and humility
Modelling humility and authenticity by apologizing and reflecting back to our children
The fact that this way of life can be tiring at times!
Embracing their interests but not so much that we can’t let go
The ratio of what we bring into our days versus what children bring or the natural flow of life does. How much do we strew versus let things unfold?
The art of not being attached to whether what we strew or offer is accepted
Whether there might be more strewing and introduction to things when kids are young
The reality of getting into a bit of a rut at times
Open time doesn’t mean undefined
The incredible focus and purpose of play
The value of a change of scenery
The realization that we don’t always know the full depth of learning that’s happening!
