While driving along in the car today, I was thinking of a way to explain and encompass just how a Home Education really works and why. We give it that name but really what we’re referring to is the human right to thrive, grow and achieve. To fulfil a personal purpose and desire to obtain…

And learning is a part of life. When Winter broke open a MEL science kit today with her sister, we didn’t call it a science lesson. She knows what she was doing was scientific but she was more interested in the hydrophobic sand and finding out why it does what it does. She understands that…

16000+ hours of extra time with each other in this beautiful messy life! I love that we don’t miss out on that. When I watch my girls about their business around our home it makes me smile. How fortunate I have been to watch all my children over the years. I’ve watched them play, learn,…

There are times during your home educating journey as a parent, when you wonder if what you’re doing, is what others do. Not that it troubles you in your sleep but you do wonder. Whether you’re new to everything or your child has reached a new phase in their life, as they grow and change…

We’ve begun to wake up from the “Slow.”We’re still in the middle of winter but we are starting to find our rhythm and flow again. No one is rushing however we are doing a little bit more, discovering new things. We’ve watched a film about Mikkelsen and Iverson in the Arctic. We’ve watched David Attenborough…

I often get asked how my children learn without a curriculum or what I mean when I say we learn, year round. It is my view that we are all, “never not leaning”. Learning doesn’t stop at a predetermined time. So, with opportunity and conversation we can learn all the time…every day of our lives.…

There is no “behind” in home education. There is no one to be behind for a start! Just as it would be quite ridiculous to try to compare apples to oranges it is just so, comparing school to learning at home. All fruits, all children but totally different. The school model is recognised and acknowledged…

Teenagers are wonderful and awkward and frustrating and amazing. They are impatient, emotional and kind. Still just as in need of us parents as ever before but in ways we couldn’t have prepared for. They no longer hang on our every word or think us super heroes. They need more sleep, more space and less…

When I turned 40 I decided to make some life changing decisions. I realised that I don’t mind being a dreamer. It’s not a bad thing but also I mustn’t wait for an opportunity to realise those dreams…so I just got right on out there and started working on more of them. Life will forever…

In my last post Why I’ll Never Use Reward Charts Again I talked about how as a parent, I have evolved over the years. Many of the techniques I used at the beginning, no longer serve our family. Some years ago, I delved into researching Unschooling as a more suitable approach to homeschooling. I found…

I was a schooled child. I love that I am able to offer my children a free childhood where they have many more free choices and free will than I ever had. Even still, sometimes I get a panic. It could be something I’ve dreamt up myself or maybe I’ve been looking at too many…
