POV: When you’ve decided to
home educate your kids…
now it’s time to convince hubby 😂

Because apparently
“I think homeschooling would be better for them” was not enough evidence.

Did your partner need convincing too?👇

Homeschool or not, read this!
Nobody talks about THIS side of parenting.

✨ The side where you’re also neurodivergent, living with multiple complex disabilities and navigating life and home education while trying to hold everything together especially when your brain already feels completely overwhelmed.

✨ The side where your child is in full shutdown and no affirmation, reward chart, or perfectly planned schedule is going to fix that today.

✨ The side where you haven’t slept well, the house is a mess and you’re calling it an unschooling or homeschooling day because survival is enough right now.

✨ The side where you pulled your child from school because the system broke them completely and now you’re both healing together.

✨ The side where you’re doing this mostly alone. No family nearby. No village. Hubby working away from home sometimes state to state most of the times. Just you and your neurodivergent children figuring it out one day at a time.

✨ The side where some days all you can tell yourself is:
“We’ll get through today.”
And somehow, you always do.

✨ This is the side I talk about.
This is the side I live.

Yep! I’ve been there. I was told the same things about my son by his Prep teacher, over and over again. I’m so grateful we made the switch to homeschooling that same year. What began with me simply being his mum has grown into something so special I’m now my children’s guide, facilitator, mentor and biggest advocate. 💛

There seems to be a lot of confusion about what unschooling actually is.

Unschooling isn’t just taking a break from lessons or any learning in general.
It isn’t having a day where nothing gets done.
It isn’t giving up because you’re exhausted.
It isn’t only doing the “fun” subjects while ignoring everything else.
And it definitely isn’t the same as doing school at home…

Unschooling is an intentional way of educating.
It’s choosing to believe that learning doesn’t only happen when someone is teaching. It happens through curiosity, conversations, everyday life, play, problem-solving, relationships, interests and meaningful experiences.

It doesn’t mean parents step back.
In many ways we actually become even more involved.

We notice what sparks our children’s curiosity.
We provide resources, experiences, support and opportunities.
We ask questions, explore alongside them and help them connect ideas in ways that matter to them.

Unschooling isn’t about lowering expectations.
It’s about changing where those expectations come from.

Instead of asking,
“What should my child be learning today?”
We begin asking,
“How can I support the person my child is becoming?”

That’s a very different mindset.
If your family is taking a break from structured learning, that’s completely okay. Rest has value too.

But rest isn’t the same as unschooling.

Unschooling is a conscious philosophy built on trust, connection and the belief that children are naturally driven to learn when they’re given the freedom, support and environment to do so.

For some, it may not look like we’re learning.Just because you can’t see the learning doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

If this changed the way you think about unschooling, consider sharing it so more families can see a different perspective💌
