About this episode
If you’re a homeschool mom, I’m guessing you’ve had that little voice in your head whisper (or scream) something like:
“Am I doing this right?”“What if they’re falling behind?”“Maybe I’m not cut out for this…”
Yup, I’ve been there too. And honestly? That voice doesn’t have to run the show.
One of the most powerful tools I’ve discovered as a homeschool mom is deschooling. And no, it’s not a trendy buzzword meant to make your Instagram look cute (it’s actually born in the 1970s, like me). Deschooling is a highly effective tool that helps us release doubt, uncertainty, and that not-good-enough feeling that so often creeps in behind closed doors.
Why deschooling? Deschooling helps us—and our kids—to zero in on the most important elements of learning and education and to live our lives on purpose. It’s about shifting our mindset from “doing school at home” to creating a home where learning actually works—one that feels free, purposeful, and individualized for each child and for ourselves.
