WHY DO I KEEP WANTING CURRICULUM?

Do you need some deschooling help ASAP?

This time of year seems to be hard for many parents who
~ if they weren't unschooling ~
would have been perusing curriculum catalogs, envisioning perfectly compliant little homeschoolers soaking up all the goodness!

But we know how that REALLY goes, right?  Not like that at all.

Let's get together and talk about why we keep feeling pulled in this direction.
What part is missing in this deschooling puzzle?

I have some ideas that I really think will help you!

If you're looking into unschooling, it's not unusal to wonder, "How DO unschoolers learn school subjects?" or "How will they learn what they need to be successful adults if you don't go out a buy all the curriculum in all the typical subjects." The word, "successful," is going to mean different things to different people. Maybe it's about getting into college, or finding a good career. Maybe it's more about personal happiness - and the ability to fund that themselves. Last week, I hosted a free webinar for about a hundred people wondering this same thing. It's up at the Unschooling Mom2Mom YouTube channel now - please subscribe! We talked about the actual subjects that weave into a variety of everyday activities for kids. I have visuals and handouts - all the things to help you get more comfortable with this concept when you hop over to the description at the YouTube channel. (If you registered for the webinar, check you email inbox for the links.)
