Have you ever thought about changing up the way you educate your kids??

It's been a mind bender of a journey for us...

The first year was filled with fear, thoughts of, 'omg am I destroying my kids future?!'

Then the longer we did it, the more relaxed we became. We started to see the benefits almost immediately.

Noah had less anxiety about meeting new kids, he began coping better in different environments, more confidence, happier, more belief in himself, more self-directed learning, he tells me what he's learning, he's teaching me what he knows 😍😍😍

Aaliyah is different, but she prefers picking her own path and needs no push from me to read or study. She is extremely self-motivated to learn 🤩

The longer we do it, the more I discovered just how broken the education system is. The longer we do it, the happier I am about our decision 😀😀😀

Because, the truth is, as a parent of a kid in the system, I had very little idea of my child's strengths and weaknesses, only what is provided on the report cards every other term... But being home every day... I know exactly where they struggle, exactly where they thrive and we go around what is required, and allow our beautiful kids to learn their way 🙏🙏

Aaliyah is reading countless books. Noah is reading 'The Laws of Human Nature'. Elijah is reading the 9 story treehouse series... When we left Australia, we ditched the curriculum and found absolute educational freedom. 🦋

There are plenty of ways to do education, and if your child isn't thriving in the system, switching it up is an awesome opportunity... For the kids and the family 😍💝🌱

My lightning node is going down for a month for the first time since 2018. Have to temporarily move out of my place as it is getting reno’d. Sorry everyone who has a channel with me and thank you for your patience. Will be back online in a month.

Puglia?

One day you wake up and realize an ideal Sunday am is spent doing Pilates and laundry in peace while your child sleeps in 😂 anyone else?

Maybe in the morning I may finally run a nest on #unschooling #worldschooling or #mumlife (I'm a bit terrified I might set one up and no one will join so I'll talk to myself for 15 minutes 😂) 🤷‍♀️

I'm aiming for something better than 90 minute wake ups tonight so I make sense. Wish me luck.🤞

Photo: I asked my 16yo to send me some photos of his time away in Spain. This is what he sends me 😂🙃😅
