This week, I’ve put together a compilation episode to dive into a question that I get pretty regularly: What does unschooling look like in larger families?
As we learn more about unschooling, we’re encouraged to spend time with our kids, to say yes more, to connect with them more, to explore ways to meet everyone’s needs. Add in multiple children, and soon we start to wonder how we’re going to build all these strong, connected, and trusting relationships. It can seem daunting!
I have three children, but I’ve had guests on the podcast with four, five, six, seven kids, so I’ve brought together some of their wonderful stories, tips, and insights to help parents with larger families envision what unschooling might look like for them.
