7. Home Educating Wildlings - Society's Obsession with Age
This episode is all about society’s obsession with age. How children are segregated by their age and how we have so many unnatural expectations around age. The pressure we feel as parents around due dates, baby milestones and our childrens development. Our age determines so much more than our developmental milestones and academic achievements. Sadly it can have negative implications on our mental health.

6. Home Educating Wildlings - Choosing to Home Educate in a Fear-based Culture
This episode is all about how as a society we are governed by fear, often without even noticing it. The journey of motherhood is riddled with fear and coercion. School is the entry point for this life-long conditioning of fear - choosing to home educate is about deconditioning ourselves from a childhood and beyond of fear and control. When we understand that our choices do not need to be ruled by fear we can finally start living a life of our choosing. But it takes a whole heap of descho...

5. Home Educating Wildlings - Why you're more than enough
On episode 5 of Home Educating Wildlings podcast I tackle a big home-ed myth – whether you’re qualified or ‘clever’ enough to educate your children.

No teacher in a classroom of 30 kids...

In episode 4 I explain what natural learning looks like to us with some simple examples of how our children learn the unschooling, self-directed way.

I want my boys to have choice and freedom with their learning and play. I want them to feel empowered to ta...

3. Home Educating Wildlings - The Gift of Time
Home education, for us, is the gift of time. One of the main reason we decided to home educate was to take back our precious time. Time to spend not only together as a family but time to invest in the things we all individually love. Time to adventure in nature, explore diverse places, meet people of mixed-ages and dive deep into our interests. Time to really connect with one another, to spend time on our own to explore our thoughts and get to know ourselves. Time to think freely, to dre...
