Hey Reader, This week we’ve talked about a lot of things that matter in December: Letting go of the fear of falling behind. Seeing learning in everyday holiday life. Handling questions and comments with more confidence. Trusting what’s already happening. And even when these things make sense, parenting still has its twists and turns — and some months simply have more pressure than others. That’s why it helps to have something you can come back to when those moments pop up again.And why I...

That’s why I made this for you: I🎥 WATCH: Handling Critics During the Holidays WATCH: Handling Critics During the Holidays Be sure to see the...

Hey Reader, There’s a little secret unschoolers carry into December…and it’s the reason they’re able to actually enjoy the holidays with their kids: Unschoolers see the learning inside everyday life —no feeling pressured to stop the fun “to get school done.” So many homeschooling parents skip the cozy holiday moments because they’re stressed about “falling behind.”Unschoolers?

Hi Reader, I’ve been thinking about you lately. Not the big group of “you all,” but you, Reader — the parent who’s trying to make unschooling work in real life, with real kids, real doubts, and real fears that don’t always get said out loud. Maybe it’s the time of year.Maybe it’s the conversations I’ve been having.But I keep picturing the two of us sitting at my kitchen table with something warm to drink, just talking through the thing that’s been making your shoulders tense up.

Just a quick reminder as Black Friday wraps up tonight, Reader... If you’ve been needing things to feel easier…Needing someone to talk to who gets it…Needing support that doesn’t make you feel judged… This is your window.

People who won’t tell you to put the kids back in school.People who won’t say they “just need more discipline.”People who won’t imply that you’re doing...
