​So… I scheduled a new video to go live yesterday, Reader.

And then never told you. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was busy welcoming families into the Creating Confidence Daily app and completely missed it.

Which feels oddly appropriate — because deschooling doesn't follow timelines well either!

Why Deschooling Is Really for Parents

​

Most people think deschooling is something kids go through.

But the uneasy part?
The lay-around phase.
The “Are they doing enough?” spiral.
The urge to step back in and manage.

That’s usually ours.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why deschooling isn’t a quick reset
• What’s really happening when kids seem unmotivated
• How school-conditioned thinking lingers
• Why deschooling is active parent work — not passive waiting

If you’ve ever thought,
​ “Okay… but when does the real learning start?”​
you’ll recognize yourself in this one.

And if this stage feels especially loud right now, I’ve included a link for the Deschooling Toolkit.

It’s not something you rush through.
It’s there for when school-thinking creeps back in and you need help recalibrating — without swinging back to structure out of fear.

One more thing.

Deschooling isn’t just something you go through once at the beginning.

It resurfaces.

As kids get older, different triggers show up — middle school comparisons, high school pressure, outside questions, quieter learning.

The themes change. The work stays familiar.

You don’t have to be surprised by it every time.

You can expect it.
You can recognize it sooner.
You can move through it quicker.

That’s part of growing alongside your kids.
