This webinar explores the depths of the revolutionary idea of trusting your child, rumoured to be the hardest aspect of unschooling, but also the change that could dramatically improve the dynamics in your home and your child's learning capabilities.

Learning how your child learns best is a webinar that will: Outline how you can support your child as they figure out how it is that they best learn. How you can grow their confidence in themselves and the choices that they make. Leave you with ideas of how learning looks when your child doesn't want to use a curriculum.

It is common for unschooled, or Self Directed Learners, to learn to read anywhere between the age of 3 - 16 years old. How can you be sure that your child will learn to read and that unschooling reading works? This webinar will draw attention to the things that children do that are developing the skills and building the foundations that they need for them to learn to read.  This will be done through using real life examples and stories from the unschooling community of real children who have learnt to read in their own time and in their own way.  This webinar is FREE for LPL Monthly Members along with a back catalogue of Unschooling Webinars, 2 live webinars a month, and discounts on coaching and mentoring services.

Here are three reasons not to let go of screen time: 1/ It’s expensive. 2/ You might find yourself doing things that you don’t enjoy 3/ It can no longer be used as a babysitting or bargaining tool.   I’m sure there are many more reasons why parents decide to restrict screen use and find it one of the hardest things to relinquish control over when they move to unschooling.   It was certainly one of the last things that we let go off. We didn’t really explore releasing limits until my eldest was 5 year’s old (I think) We had probably relaxed things before that because it was easy when I was exhausted from having a tiny baby, toddler and young child with me all day long. We would all sit/ lie down/ sleep together in the living room in the afternoon whilst the TV was on. It was definitely used as a ‘babysitting tool’ whilst I rested. Honestly, this was ten years ago. We didn’t actually own a TV at the time and accessed streaming services on line. The children watched ten minute long cartoons and they didn’t automatically run onto the next episode so I had to wake up every ten minutes to select the next one! How things have changed in ten years!!   Not everything is bad about lifting screen restrictions but like most things it does take consideration. I wouldn’t advice doing it just because it’s the unschooling way. Especially if you feel uncomfortable with the idea.   Take your time. Do your research. Find out what unschooling families are doing instead (because it isn’t simply a case of lifting restrictions and leaving our children to it)    For every reason you find not to do it, there is an unschooling reason to do it.   It can be expensive but it doesn’t have to be and we can see it as an investment in our children’s education. You might find yourself playing apps or watching TV shows that you find frustrating or find dull but we relish the joy that our children get from spending time doing the things that they love. It can no longer be used as a babysitting tool or bargaining tool but it will deepen your relationship with your child and you can find other ways to meet your needs that don’t disconnect you from your child. This webinar will give you practical steps towards lifting screen restrictions in your family and prepare your for the difference that it will make in your home and your child's learning.
