Real Talk - Unschooling teens (31st May)
Manage episode 421319441 series 3412547
This week, I am interviewing Fred, a home-educating parent in England, about their experience with unschooling their three children, two of whom are teenagers. We discuss the reasons for choosing home ed, the challenges faced, and the different educational approaches.
Takeaways
- Unschooling can be a viable option for children who are not thriving in traditional school settings.
- Flexibility and individualised learning are key components of successful home ed.
- Community support and connections with other families can provide valuable resources and social opportunities.
- Societal expectations and pressure can negatively impact unschooling families, but it's important to prioritise the child's well-being and individual needs.
- Advocating for accommodations and support in higher education settings is possible for home ed children. Trust and believe in your children's abilities and give them the autonomy to direct their own learning.
- Provide support and resources, but allow your children to make mistakes and problem-solve on their own too.
- Find a supportive community of home edders who understand and share your approach.
- Recognise the developmental changes and challenges that teenagers go through and adjust your approach accordingly.
- Embrace the ups and downs of unschooling and appreciate the unique learning opportunities it provides.
