In this episode, I share about taking my daughter out of school after noticing her upset when being dropped off. I talk about navigating conflicting voices in my head - am I coddling her? Aren’t I supposed to “send my kids to school” - vs. ultimately trusting the quiet whispers of my body telling me this wasn’t right. 

 

I’ve also been exploring the concept of “unschooling” which focuses on child-led learning without an adult-imposed curriculum. This concept resonates deeply with me and I share my favorite resources on it below. 

 

Ultimately this episode is about trusting our intuition as mother’s even when it goes against societal norms or advice from others. I invite you to deeply listen to yourself as you make choices about your children. 

 

A great listen for any mama considering pre-school, homeschool, or unschooling her children.
