Unlearning the formal educational systems
Deschooling is the transition phase that unschooling children and parents go through to unlearn the systems, protocols, and expectations of traditional school cultures. This applies to parents who most likely have had many years of formal schooling and want something different for their children. It also applies to children who are switching from structured education to curiosity-led learning.
Deschooling is a necessary decompression time for your family to reset your bodies, minds, and outlooks and relax your way into unschooling. Take the time to evaluate your ingrained expectations about academic achievements and how that can change to be present with your child. Enjoy playtime, getting to know what fascinates your kids, and their learning style to set a foundation for unschooling success.
