#29: Focusing on Strengths

07/20/21 • 5 min

When you’re not using a lesson plan or a curriculum, focusing on strengths gives you a little bit of a guide... something to keep at the front of your mind as you’re moving along on your unschooling journey.
Let's break down why this is so important. And even though the school way of focusing on gaps and weaknesses is so familiar, I want you to hear why it's not the best approach!

#30: Unschooling and Technology

Text Sue what you think!

I went a couple minutes over my usual 5-10 minute goal because, you know, technology. We have a lot to talk about!
If you're worried about your kid's focus on Technology, this podcast is for you!
Let's open the conversation and see what's going on.
I want to bring you a little clarity with my Six Ideas to Ponder About Technology and Kids.
You don't have to choose between "Total Control Freak Parent" or the "Total, Sure-Anything-and-Everything-Is-Cool Parent." There's a lot of gray in between the two - but you'll only be able to find what's right for you if you can clear out the fear and worry about the topic!
