This is so cool! We took all kinds of pictures over the years. But we've pulled out a collection of Ron with the kids.

🍎 Something to think about if social media sometimes gives you a little Comparison-itis! . Not sure who created this, but so awesome I had to share it! . #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

💐 Those stories in our heads about how EVERYONE is supposed to behave and be - they sure can make us, and everyone around is miserable! . Let’s make a conscious effort to accept everyone unconditionally AS IS. Especially the kids who really need this from us! . I hope you have a great weekend of unschooling with the kids. . Anyone have anything fun planned? . (Jackson is sleeping over tomorrow night so I’m pretty excited! 💕) . #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

💛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TYPICAL UNSCHOOLING DAYS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s talk about it - or if they can even exist?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’d love to see a collection of unschooling posts showing how DIFFERENT our days can be - and yet still filled with learning!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Breaking away from the One-Size-Fits-All model of schools, we’ll e able to show that hopping off the conveyor belt is a GOOD thing!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finding our own rhythms without needing to duplicate someone else’s - another good thing!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We sometimes start out with so little confidence that we need to see others happily living and learning side-by-side with the kids.Somehow that makes us a little braver...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “If they can do this, so can I!’⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s the TRUTH - you can! And it will have similarities with some people - and be totally different from others. Six months from now, it could change again! That’s part of the flexibility of meeting kids where they are - TODAY!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ IF YOU ARE AN UNSCHOOLER,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please share what your TYPICAL DAY is like!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (Or what a few of them look like... or how they compare to a year ago?)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a lot of thoughts on this! It’s even the topic for the September Unschooling Guide!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

🌎 When you can make this shift, everything changes for you and your child! . 💞Suddenly you’re listening in a different way. 💞You remove the negativity that you’re piling onto a child who is showing you clearly that they are in need. 💞You’re able to SEE other options for problem-solving because you’re actually open to them! 💞You’ve pulled your own ego out of the equation. 💞You’re breaking the cycle of reacting this way - so your child won’t grow up to do the same thing to their children. . Just a few thoughts on how and why this works. Any others to add? . #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

🌻 Quick reminder from Wendy! 💛 #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

🌻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Would you like to see more Unschoolers in your Instagram feed?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead of a Hop, let’s try something different!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think of it as Sue’s hosting an Open House over here this weekend!! 🎉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only 4 things to do (yes, please do them all)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ YOU’RE AN UNSCHOOLING FAMILY⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you are an unschooling parent AND you’re ok with more people following you and your family’s adventures.🚀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ SHARE A LITTLE bit about your family - what you like to do for fun.🤹‍♂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3️⃣ TELL US 1 MORE THING:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How long you’ve been unschooling 💗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4️⃣ LIKE/FOLLOW UM2M 🌻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like this post and follow @UnschoolingMom2Mom ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s inspire each other!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

🌻 Do YOU need a snack? Do YOU need some self-care? . What do you need to do so you can be the parent you want to be? . Sometimes we forget how much of an impact our words have on our kids. . It matters. Be intentional. 💛 . #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

Classrooms seem to be an antiquated way to disperse information. 🤔 No arguments that kids need to learn a variety of things before they launch off on their own. Unschoolers LOVE to learn! 👀 Of course, identifying that “variety of things” tends to trip us up, right? 💡 But why be a gatekeeper of information when the whole world is available? 🌎 Even curriculum-pushing homeschoolers can end up with kids burnt out on learning because they’re forced through a tedious (and really unnecessary) process that isn’t relevant to their lives. . Why make them play so small? Is it just fear? ❓ If you use prepared lesson plans or curriculum (even just for *some* subjects) can you finish this sentence for me: . “I do this because I’m afraid, if I don’t, ___________ will happen.” . Share it in the comments. . #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

💛 Maybe you can relate? . Hang in there! . Trusting yourself and having courage are both great traits! Kind of important for unschooling too! 💛 #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

💛 Weekends can expose you to a lot of people with opinions on what you’re doing. . Remember: 🌻 You’re the one gathering the information. 🌻You’re the one making the best decision for your own kids. 🌻You’re the one that can make whatever changes you need. . Outside of your immediate family, they really don’t have a say. 🤷‍♀️ . Better to say, “I hear you. But we are doing this for now.” Then change the subject or walk away. . Your confidence will grow over time. You can do this! 👊🏼 . #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

Yum! Good to know, right? . We spend a lot of time talking about learning - but unschooling is all about enjoying Life together! 📆 Lots of families are posting their Unschooling Strewing Calendar in prominent places - and the kids are running to tell them, “You DO know what today is, right???” 😂 Get the Unschooling Strewing Calendar for only $1 each month at Patreon! 🧡 You just never know what random thing will strengthen your connection with the kids! 🍨🍌🍒 #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

🌻 Just sayin’. You’ve got options. Doors won’t close. Power struggles can stop. Your connection to them CAN improve. 🌻 I know... scary stuff. Explore some more. Unschooling works. It did for us. 💛 Feel like leaving a word of unschooling encouragement for someone still struggling to decide? Put it in the comments! 🥰 #unschoolingmom2mom🌻

💌 Do you get my weekly free email -Unschooling Updates? 💌 Each Saturday, I gather the articles, videos, and resources that have come across the various social media platforms and deliver them to your inbox. 🌻 Why does this matter? 🌻 Because one of the most important things you can do to ensure success with unschooling is to keep learning more about how it works - including topics about children, parenting, and education. 🌻 I’ve done the sifting for you - now all you have to do is subscribe (well, and actually read/watch what I send in the updates!) 💛 www.tiny.cc/UnschoolingUpdates Also in the Bio Link! 💛 #unschoolingmom2mom🌻
