A quick Winter Reset for you, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]...

​
​Hey, Reader

Winter has a way of turning even the most confident unschoolers into second-guessers.

The kids don’t want to go outside because it’s freezing.
Or they do — but only long enough to get cold, wet, and cranky… and then everyone ends up back inside squabbling.

Energy builds up.
Patience wears thin.
Screens become the default.
And suddenly you’re thinking, “Shouldn’t we be doing more? Is any of this learning?”

Let me say this clearly:
​This is normal. This is winter. Nothing's wrong.

❄️ And because winter brings its own challenges…

I pulled out two short pep talks I made last year — they’re perfect for weeks like this:

​🎧 Turning Toward Winter: Learning with the Seasons (Winter Solstice is this weekend!)

​🎧 Let Go of the Lesson Plans: Embrace Real-Life Learning This Winter​
​

They’ll help you see how much learning actually is happening right now, even in the messy-cozy, stuck-inside reality of winter.

❄️ Want ideas that actually work in THIS season, Reader?

That’s exactly why I created the Winter Unschooling Guide.

It’s 71 pages of punchy, practical inspiration:

• Indoor ideas that don’t require endless prep
• Outdoor ideas for kids who last 10 minutes max
• Winter math, science, art, culture, and literacy — woven into real life
• Ways to ease sibling tension when everyone is on top of each other
• A new lens that helps you see learning where you might be missing it

No unit studies.
No worksheets.
No guilt.

Just winter — the real kind — and how to thrive in it.

​Grab the Winter Guide here:

❄️ Tiny shift for today:

When everyone’s bouncing off the walls, don’t ask, “What should we be doing?”

Ask, “What are they already curious about?”​
That’s your whole starting point.

You’ve got this — even in the cold, even in the chaos.

Warmly,​
Sue
