Kuvaus

In this episode, Tiffany and Lindsay discuss the often-overlooked process of deschooling when transitioning from public school to homeschooling. Lindsay shares her family’s journey from burnout and rigid school expectations to a more flexible, lifestyle-centered approach to learning through homeschooling and homesteading. The conversation highlights the importance of slowing down, following children’s natural learning rhythms, and giving families permission to build an education that truly fits their lives and values.   Highlights: -What deschooling is and why it matters in homeschooling transitions -Signs that children may be experiencing school burnout -Why homeschooling should not simply recreate public school at home -Lindsay’s recommendation of one month of deschooling for every month in public school -Starting with connection-focused activities like family game nights and reading together -The importance of flexibility and following a child’s natural pace -How homesteading and daily life activities become learning opportunities -Trying free curriculum samples before committing to a program -Using different curriculums and learning styles for different children and subjects -The role of co-ops, microschools, tutors, and ESAs in supporting homeschool families -Why deschooling is an ongoing process—not just a one-time transition -Giving parents confidence that they are already teaching their children every day -Encouragement for overwhelmed parents to start small and simplify the process   About Linsday: I am Lindsay Percy, a trained Intuitive Somatic Healer, and Motherhood Mentor, living on our homestead in beautiful BC with my husband and our two girls. I built this work from the inside of some of the hardest seasons a mother can walk through. What I came out with was clarity, purpose, and a deep calling to support other mothers doing the same. Through Redhaven Healing I offer Intuitive Bodies Alignment sessions for women ready to release what the body has been holding. Through Intentionally Conscious Motherhood I mentor mothers navigating burnout, nervous system healing, homeschooling, deschooling, homesteading, and the beautiful, messy, transformative work of conscious motherhood. I believe in the slower life. The real food. The regulated home. The mother who tends herself as carefully as she tends everyone else. That mother is who I am here for. www.redhavenhealing.ca [http://www.redhavenhealing.ca] www.redhavenhomestead.ca [http://www.redhavenhomestead.ca] https://www.facebook.com/share/1Ct5wv2y1N/?mibextid=wwXIfr [https://www.facebook.com/share/1Ct5wv2y1N/?mibextid=wwXIfr] https://www.instagram.com/lindsay.percy89?igsh=MW1jY2Qzdmd3MHFuMg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr [https://www.instagram.com/lindsay.percy89?igsh=MW1jY2Qzdmd3MHFuMg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr]   About The Ultimate Homeschool Community: https://linktr.ee/ultimatehomeschool [https://linktr.ee/ultimatehomeschool]
