Thanks πŸ™πŸΌ I'm glad you're enjoying this. Sometimes I wonder if anyone will get something from my posts. It's great to know you enjoy this πŸ€©πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

Who remembers an enjoyable process in the education system? 🀨

Probably not many from my generation. πŸ™ˆ

I'm not saying there is no such thing as a good school, I'm sure there are some here and there... However, for the most part, the education system generally fails most children (& quite often parents won't even know the extent of how badly) πŸ‘€

I do love these ideas from ancient Roman times πŸ’œ

"Quintilian believed education should be an enjoyable process of inculcating knowledge into the child. At no point should the child find education distasteful.

In fact, Quintilian stated: I am not however so unacquainted with differences of age as to think that we should urge those of tender years severely, or exact a full complement of work from them; for it will be necessary, above all things, to take care lest the child should conceive a dislike to the application which he cannot yet love, and continue to dread the bitterness which he has once tasted, even beyond the years of infancy. Let his instruction be an amusement to him; let him be questioned and praised, and let him never feel pleased that he does not know a thing; and sometimes, if he is unwilling to learn, let another be taught before him, of whom he may be envious. Let him strive for victory now and then, and generally suppose that he gains it; and let his powers be called forth by rewards, such as that age prizes." - Ron Malhotra, Indoctrinated

Thank you and I enjoy being on this journey with you too πŸ«‚πŸ’œπŸ§‘βš‘οΈ

Thanks πŸ™πŸΌ Yep we will have music and plastic bags just in case πŸ˜‚

Ohh so funny you say this, oranges used to make me really sea sick and apples used to help me a lot πŸ˜‚

As an experienced #travel #mum, I should know better... πŸ™ˆ

It was lunch time, I felt like something different. πŸ‘€

'Let's get smoothie bowls for lunch'

Two hours before we drive to the airport. Only a 45 minute trip, but two of my kids get carsick πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

I may regret this in about two hours πŸ˜…

Travel parents, if your kids get car sick, don't buy smoothie bowls just before a drive πŸ€£πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ™ˆπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Fingers and toes crossed we make it without vomit everywhere 🀞

Hold onto that vision and make it happen. If we can do it, I'm sure you can too πŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

I totally was that person. Then I read a lot of books by the Dalai Lama and one of them said he was good with not knowing. Now I copy him and say I don't know all the time πŸ˜…πŸ’―πŸ’œ

GM and new on #nostr is nostr:npub19jzz0ecwmv9dfgau5fh9v0p9vmlf2xpaszqs8s8h2xfrgj52svxsgfal7l . Also a mama, into #homebirth, #homeschooling and #travel.

Welcome Roxane πŸ€©πŸ’œπŸ«‚ nostr:note1u52r389qvufa4uq7fsqujs7e3e429x9kqh3c04zaazsm9lkzyups8hm579

Oh gosh, nostr:npub1k8u5csaulf800zljf7tey95l6e42v38lxljcsu60rdpd7te3jpyqfgznyl , I'm sorry to hear this is happening there. On our travels we've discovered a few countries that aren't homeschooling friendly. πŸ˜”

One solution is work on an online/remote income, and move your residence or travel full time. If you are no longer under the legal system of your home country, that can help make it easier to take back your personal power πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

Shout out nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz if you would like to hear from us (family of six travelling since February 2020, homeschooling/ unschooling since 2016/17). I'll be more than happy to send over some of our clips / images / experiences πŸ™ŒπŸ€©πŸ’―βœˆοΈ

Tomorrow is a travel day so I may be a bit quiet. We will see how the day unfolds πŸ‘€πŸ«‚β˜€οΈβœˆοΈπŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­

Agreed. I feel very grateful to have met Pablo and his family. And very grateful that he shared Nostr with me πŸ’œπŸ™πŸΌπŸ€©

I love it πŸ’―

I'll look forward to hearing your Nostr story 🀩
