🎉 Lizz Quain, a solo mother of 16-year-old twin girls, shares her family’s extensive world schooling journey that began in 2016. She transitioned into long-term slow travel, using a variety of different educational methods—unschooling, local schools, and online tutoring—to adapt to her kid's needs.
🌎 Lizz emphasizes that this lifestyle fostered independence and global citizenship, with both her girls now thriving academically and possessing crucial skills
đź‘Ť She encourages families to adopt world schooling, even for short periods, calling it an invaluable gift that focuses on making lifelong memories and teaching children how to learn.
✨ ACTIONABLE TIPS:
- For children under eight, focus on self-directed learning, exploration, and nature, as this is how they learn best.
- Focus on teaching critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, as these are more important for the future workforce
- Utilize strategies like slow travel to lower costs and pet sitting
- Consider taking worldschooling or hub creation courses and joining communities to avoid costly "newbie mistakes"
- Be willing to try various methods—online schools, local schools, tutors, or world school hubs—to find what works best for each child at different phases of their life.
- Leverage the world schooling lifestyle to actively spend time with your kids, observe their learning styles, and adjust your approach
