Whole Life Unschooling with Multiple Ages {Real Homeschooling for Real Families}

May 13, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Today’s Real Homeschooling for Real Families post is brought to you by Talia from Our Crazy Joyful Life. She is writing about Whole Life Unschooling aka Radical Unschooling.

Real Homeschool Whole Life

Talia is a local mom who heads up an unschooling facebook group. We haven’t met in person as of yet but I know how much she loves learning and growing with her kids.

Introduction to Whole Life Unschooling aka Radical Unschooling

When I think about how best to describe our homeschooling style, I run into a wall. How do I separate out our learning from our everyday life? Simple answer: we don’t. You may have heard of the term “unschooling”, which I would define as stepping outside of a set curriculum and trusting that we learn what we need to know, when we need to know it just by living an interesting, connected life. Whole life unschooling, sometimes known as radical unschooling, takes this idea beyond just an educational philosophy and applies it to, well our whole life. We apply the same foundational trust to other areas such as eating, sleep, and how much time they spend on their chosen activities. I hold the deep belief that children are capable of living without arbitrary limits, in partnership with me. Although my role seems to be ever-changing, I think of myself as a guide, a facilitator of awesome activities and opportunities, a safe space to bounce ideas off of, and a friend.

“Give a man fish he will eat for a day.  Teach a man to fish, he will eat for the rest of his life.” Chinese Proverb.  This was our motto and quote when we took our first steps to start homeschooling our kids.  We didn’t want to give our kids education. We wanted to teach them how to learn and give them tools to apply learning so they can learn for the rest of their lives.

In my search for a method to use that fit our reasons for homeschooling, I came across The Well Trained Mind book by Susan Wise Bauer.  Four months later it was confirmed that this book is a real gem and fit our criteria for our homeschool journey.  Susan Wise Bauer said “A classical education is more than simply a pattern of learning, though. Classical education is language-focused; learning is accomplished through words, written and spoken, rather than through images (pictures, videos, and television). “

Summer Reading Club Programs Around the Miami Valley Area

May 5, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

We love taking advantage of various Summer Reading Club programs from a variety of different libraries. Since I look up lots of different Summer Reading Club dates and activities I thought I would share those with my loyal local readers! Our family usually takes part in a handful of programs at various library locations around the Miami Valley but I am always looking for more free family friendly events especially for my teens.

Each Summer I build our calendar around the free programs that I find and Summer Reading Club programs are a big part in our fun! I am loving all the variety of programs the libraries I have contacted so far have told me about from STEM to music to art. We also make sure to prepare Summer Reading spaces as soon as the weather is warm and are sure to look up the Kids Summer Movie schedule.
