Back to EpisodesMy Child Isn’t Going Back to School—Now What? | 223
Description
Is your child not going back to school? Here’s how to start homeschooling—or explore unschooling—without rushing into curriculum or recreating school at home.
Once you’ve made the decision to leave school, a new worry often moves in: What are we supposed to do now?
In this episode, Sue Patterson shares five practical ways to begin:
- Handle your state’s legal requirements without mistaking them for an educational plan
- Consider what your child may need to recover from after leaving school
- Avoid letting fear rush you into curriculum, rigid schedules, and too many commitments
- Collaborate with your child as you figure out what comes next
- Expect the doubts that can surface when everyone else goes back to school
You don’t need to become a homeschooling expert or understand unschooling perfectly before you begin. You need time to reconnect, observe your child, and create an approach that fits your actual family.
