Unschooling doubts and fears

I made something for you, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!

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.

Final Hours, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!

Your Saturday Confidence Check-In, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE] 💛

Hi Reader, A lot of unschooling parents think: “I chose this path. I should know how to do this by now.” But here’s the thing — most of us grew up in school. We were trained to follow someone else’s plan. That shows up in how we parent, even when we want to unschool. 💛 This week’s encouragement:You don’t have to deprogram all of that alone.You deserve someone walking with you — helping you see what’s working, and solve what’s not.
