Goodbye 2019 – Hello 2020!
Sue Patterson
New Year’s Resolutions were always problematic for me. Great hopes - often unrealistic - would soon lead to disappointment and guilt for not following through.
So then the “Choose Your Word” idea rolled in inviting us to ditch the Resolutions that were really only wishes with no workable strategy or plan. But choosing a word… while it sounds lovely, and many of my friends were happily contemplating what word resonated best with them - I was paralyzed.
ONE word? For a whole year?
I immediately wanted to negotiate for better terms!
I simply couldn’t decide.
“Rest into it,” they’d tell me.
But when I did that, my mind begin it’s little habit of overthinking.
What if I pick a word like ‘relax?’
Would the Universe begin tossing all kinds of chaos, testing and challenging me?
As if you say, “Ok, how ‘bout THIS? Can you stick with RELAX through all of this??”
So if I follow this line of thinking, choosing a particular word I want could actually provoke the opposite in my life!
No thank you. Not worth the risk.
I know, my brain can be weird. But maybe yours does something similarly - or something else altogether different.
But this time I have a new plan!
And this one actually DOES resonate with me.
It has 2 parts: Reflection and 2 Questions.
Use the FREE workbook to look at the past year. Examine it realistically.
No judgement. Just data.
Then we'll ask ourselves two questions...
- What would you like to release in 2020? What do you want to be rid of?
- What would you like to call into 2020?
RELEASE and INVITE.
No pressure. No right or wrong answers. You can add more as it comes to you.
This is a New Year’s Tradition I think I can do!
Wanna try it with me?
Two Free Resources for YOU!
2020 Release & Invite!
Here's the link for the workbook I mentioned in the article above.
Really, it can be done any time - not just for New Year's!
Taking a realistic look at what's worked and what hasn't can give you so much information for your next steps.
This 10-page printable workbook can guide you toward the unschooling life that is the best fit for you and your family!
New Year's Video Interviews
Ready to wrap up another year but looking for a fun way to go about it?
Maybe it's time to dive into video interviews with the family!
Grab this guide for some interview questions as well as a few worksheets to help jog your memory of what's happened this past year.
Need A Little More Support?
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.)
Sue Patterson shares what's wrong with hanging onto a little curriculum - when you'd like to full benefit of unschooling!
How do Unschooling Parents find each other? Sue Patterson shares 4 ways that work!
Let's talk about "Screen Time." We need to shift our conversation with the kids about their love for technology and electronics.
How much IS too much - when it comes to gaming and surfing the web? Especially if you're going to unschool! Sue Patterson shares strategies for how to tackle the technology in your home!
What's the big takeaway when an unschooling mom looks back? Lean into the Love. Originally written in 2012, and now updated for 2024, Sue Patterson share's what she wish she had known... way back when.
5 Signs that it may be time for you to start unschooling!
Whether you've been homeschooling and it's not working out as planned, or you're looking for alternatives to public schools, here are 5 Signs it may be time to start homeschooling from an unschooling perspective.
Social media is in a flurry about the Pythagorean Theorem... why we learn it, how we learn it, what's the point? So I decided to ask my Robot Friend how DO we use the Pythagorean Theorem in real life. I think you'll be surprised!
While no unschooling family would be considered "typical," a few characteristics are common for those who successfully unschool. Sue Patterson solves the mystery and shares what a few of these traits are. Perfect for those who are trying to figure out how to unschool or are looking for how to create a homeschooling routine.
Spend a little time with family creating your own "reverse bucket list" - identifying and celebrating accomplishments from this past year!

Sometimes BIG changes can come when parents shift how we say things! Changing the phrasing can strengthen the connection between you and your child AND shift your mindset away from being so panicky all the time! The Left column: 🚫 Fear based 🚫 Influenced by YOUR peers 🚫 Historically typical as adults often mistrust the changes that come with progress The Right Column: 💛 Shows kids you value their choices (which they interpret as valuing THEM) 💛 Flips the same behaviors to a more positive interpretation Try it! And let me know what changes you see! (This comes from the March Technology Challenge in my Membership Group!) Reach out if you have questions! #unschoolingmom2mom🌻Button -

Whether you've had enough of the school system or that school-at-home approach to homeschooling just isn't working - let me help you find another way! 🚀 🌟 Wouldn't it be nice to talk to someone who's unschooled her own kids? 🌟 How about if they're grown, got into college, own homes and businesses? 🌟 What if you could talk to someone about what's keeping you up at night, worrying about your kids? You're in the right place because that's exactly what I do! After nearly 30 years, I know what works and what doesn't. 💡 I can help you separate the facts from the myths so you can create a truly INDIVIDUALIZED approach to learning and living with your kids.

🎂 Today is My Birthday! 🎉 💓💓And because my all-time favorite thing in my coaching business is my Creating Confidence Membership group, I want to offer a ONE DAY ONLY deal! 💓💓 I just thought of this yesterday, so there's no big "launch" or Business "roll-out" kind of thing. (I never know how to do those anyway! lol) 🤦♀️ Normally, the membership is $49/month. You can get 2 months free when you buy the annual package. 😲👏 🎉 BUT TODAY! To Celebrate!🎉 I'm offering something even better! 🙌🙌 You can get into the membership group for a YEAR for only $348. That's only $29/month! 😲🫶 I have parents in there since 2016 - so it's worth it! 💞 And - you deserve the support! 🤗 Unschooling is (obviously) not "the norm." Lots of external push-back and internal fears can make it harder than it ought to be. But all that is SOO much better when you're in this group with my FABULOUS unschooling community. So many resources, so much support! 💞 🙋♀️So if you've been thinking about it, today's the day! I've never done this before and - I'd LOVE to see you in there with us! 💝💖🥰 💥24 Hour Flash Sale! 💥 ⬇️ Put #BirthdayDeal in the comments below and I'll send you the special link. 💌 #unschoolingmom2mom🌻Button -

Listen to Oprah! Make the choices you need to make because it's BEST for YOUR kids and family - not because other people say you need to do what they do. Do you have trouble with this? Other people trying to "write your script" for you? I seemed to have that more when I was younger - probably because I was often asking for feedback/direction! It's interesting because, after all those years in school, I was USED to other people telling me what to do - no wonder I felt unsure of my self. But as you get older - and the more you do it - the more your confidence grows, right? I really am curious about your experiences with this. Tell me in the comments!Button -

Welcoming contributions from unschoolers and radical unschoolers! Put #facebookgroup in the comments and I’ll send you the link! @i.am.natasha.allan shared: The Unschool Post is for families and children who live and embody the principles of Unschooling. The Unschool Post was inspired by the idea that our loved ones and those we meet along the way usually don’t know how to speak with our unschooled children. They get stumped when the go-to’s “how was school” or “what’s your favourite subject?” don’t apply. The Post celebrates and will shine a light on the magic of the unschooled life offering much to chat about with our unschooled kids; reflecting what unschooled children are passionate about, what lights them up in this moment without curriculum or any schoolish learning involved. Showing that kids can and do flourish when supported to learn and explore who they are and what matters to them in their own time, their own way. It will offer a sense of community for our unschooled and radically unschooled kids. They will have the opportunity to see what other unschooled kids are exploring and excited about from around the world and maybe get inspired by what another has shared! Please join us in the FB group The Unschool Post for more info on how to contribute! ____________ #unschoolingmom2mom🌻 #unschooledlife #unschoolersofinstagram #unschoolinglookslikethis #unschool #unschoolingfamily #unschooling #unschoollife #unschool #unschooled #unschooler #newunschoolerButton -

🤔 Have you been conditioned to believe that you cannot do both - have fun and learn? 😖 Maybe you were told that playing was a "waste of time?" 📱 Maybe you continuously hear that "kids on screens" are wasting time! 🖥 Yes, we can dig into the controversy that talking about technology causes. But I want you to back up a little bit more than that. I want you to think about how often you were told that HAVING FUN was something that was either Bad or was something that had to be earned - by enduring something uncomfortable or dreaded. 🍦 Most of us grew up like that, right? Dinner before Dessert? It made us want that that dessert even more! 💡 I want you to ponder the idea that when we have fun - tons of learning happens. Our brains relax and open to new ideas and connections. ⚡️ And THAT is the environment that unschooling creates. 💥 🙅 Learning isn't drudgery. So let's stop teaching our kids that they have to ENDURE it before they can get to the good stuff. Learning weaves through every activity that your child enjoys engaging in. It's up to parents to notice it though!❗️ ➡️ These kinds of conversations happen in my membership group every week - you're always welcome to join us. 💞 Put #confidence in the comments below and I'll get you the link for more info. 🎮 And if you just want a little help reframing how you think about technology, I have an Unschooling Guide to help you do that! It's really awesome too! Put #TechGuide in the comments below and I'll get you the link for more info about this too. #unschoolingmom2mom🌻Button -
