Parents Or Friends? Or Can We Be Both?
April 23, 2022 on Stories of an Unschooling Family
A few weeks ago, my gorgeous adult daughter, Imogen, said, “Mum, we need a break. How about we go to the beach together for a few days?” Oh my, that was a fabulous suggestion. We’ve both had a hard time this last year or so. A holiday away from the cares of everyday life sounded perfect. Actually, it sounded like a lifesaver.

This week on the podcast I share a talk I wrote in 2015, Walking Together: Seeing the World through Your Child's Eyes. In this talk, I dive into some of things I’ve learned on my unschooling journey about the value of walking together through our days WITH our children.
Flying Squads: Existing Without Expectations
April 21, 2022 on Rethinking Self-Directed Education
Silly. Fun. Thoughtful. Reflective. Just like Flying Squads themselves this podcast was filled with all of it, along with plenty of space for loud laughter. In our latest episode we are joined by three Flying Squad facilitators (in addition to Daveed and Bria) from different locations, and we talk about all things Flying Squads, including: resting and healing together, being stuck with one another (or, community elevated), the impact on our deschooling, jokes and humor as processing, and the different (and similar) ways Flying Squads show up in the world.
Avoid This New-to-Unschooling Mistake
April 21, 2022 on Unschooling Mom2Mom
I'd like to help you avoid some of the most common mistakes we see when people start unschooling. And over at YouTube, I have a video with 8 common mistakes that new unschoolers (or homeschoolers make) but I want to talk about just one of them with you today. Partly because it’s the time of year we see homeschooling circles getting all a buzz about finding that just right curriculum for next year.
The First Prison
April 19, 2022 from Everything Voluntary

Slow Living in a Fast World | Slowing Down While Homeschooling for Intentional Living
April 19, 2022 on Black Dad
Slow living wasn't an expected benefit when we started homeschooling. But slowing down our fast-paced lives is something we have become intentional about over the past year. Intentional living is something we should strive for to find love, joy, and peace in our lives... which is why we all should consider slowing down.
The New Netflix Show “Old Enough” Should Hit America Over the Head
April 19, 2022 on Free-Range Kids
As you may have heard, “Old Enough” is the Japanese reality show now on Netflix showing kids age age 5, 4, 3 and even 2 running errands on their own.
It’s a bit extreme (2-year-olds shopping?) but also extremely lovable. The kids are sometimes a little scared or sad, but they are also incredibly determined.

Jack Schott on Why Summer Camps Matter
April 18, 2022 on Off-Trail Learning
Shortly after college, Jack Schott hit the road for two years to visit over 200 summer camps across the United States. He then co-founded a children’s sleepaway camp in upstate New York, Camp Stomping Ground (campstompingground.org), designed to inspire “radical empathy.” After co-directing Stomping Ground for many years (with Laura Kriegel) and consulting for other camps, Jack possesses a wealth of knowledge about the power and possibility of sleepaway camps. We discuss the unique magic that camps create, what kind of camps exist in the United States, how they promote self-directed learning (or don’t), accessibility and affordability, the vital role that camp counselors play in a young person’s life, and Jack’s personal favorites.
