You’ve decided to home educate and are moving away from a schooled approach. Your child is happier but there are niggling worries as their schooled peers are focused on academics. Your child recoils at the very suggestion of a workbook, reading to you, or reciting numbers.  The months and years pass and your child is still making their own choices but the gap between them and their schooled peers is widening. Your child might not be interested in reading yet, and you can't see how maths is being used and developed at all.  The idea that they might ever write an essay for entry into university or sit an exam seems miles away from where they are right now and, without direct teaching, you're not sure how they will ever learn these academic skills. Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist and home educating parent to two Self Directed Learners, and Heidi Steel, qualified teacher and parent to four always unschooled learners, share their professional and personal experiences of learning without school in this webinar how you're child will learn the academic skills that they need. 

We are discussing the notion of Screen Time and taking a look at the rational, reasoning, and benefits, of embracing screen time in your family as well as a look into the educational possibilities.

Concerns around children gaming all day is the number one question that I get asked. Honestly, I can be doing a webinar, or hosting a talk on just about any unschooling subject and gaming always comes up in the Q&A.   I wonder if it’s because it wasn’t as accessible when we were younger. I’m going to age myself by recalling the days when we had to sit and wait for dial up internet connection and gaming had a very minor role in our day to day lives. Or maybe I wasn’t that interested in it?   I remember my dad playing MorrisMinor on a Spectrum ZX in our home. And having Snake on my first mobile phone. The difference between that and now is immense. The standard of games. The variety. The choices in game play. I wonder if the uncertainty for us comes from it not being a normal part of our lives when we were growing up.   But, it is part of your child’s life. It is part of their norm. And it is here to stay.    Dr Naomi Fisher and I talk from both our professional backgrounds about the psychology of gaming and how it aids learning, as well as from our own experiences of enabling our own children to game freely, this is not to be missed!   Maybe you will discover the joys of gaming and just how glorious it can be! Also available as a Screen Time Bundle including Becoming Comfortable with Screen Time. Yes! I want two webinars for £40  

School is so difficult for your child. They don't want to go and when you get them there they won't engage. Or maybe they do go but the fall out at the end of the school day is horrendous. Their anxiety is so high they are constantly on edge, they aren't sleeping well, they aren't eating well and they are having frequent meltdowns. School has suggested an EHCP (or maybe your child already has one) but no one is listening to you and the focus seems to be largely about getting your child back to school and into the classroom. You are beginning to realise that school might actually be the problem but can home education be the answer?  Your child seems slightly more relaxed at home on those days when they don't make it to school but you remember home schooling during lockdown and it didn't go well.  Is it possible that you can educate your child at home? Is it even legal and can you do it without an EHCP or EOTAS? And is there a way that your child can both learn, develop, and grow at the same time as reducing their anxiety?  Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist and home educating parent to two Self Directed Learners, and Heidi Steel, qualified teacher and parent to four always unschooled learners, share their professional and personal experiences of learning without school in this webinar on how you are the best person to support for your autistic child.  This 50 minute webinar is useful for those with or without a formal diagnosis. 

Now your child is not in school there is the possibility for recovery and there is the possibility for making things better for the child. Parents now have a unique opportunity to truly listen to their child. Now they can be supported through this period of time towards something more suited to their needs.
