Description
Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Robyn Robertson, from Honey I'm Homeschooling The Kids, joining us. Robyn is an unschooling mom to two kids, local school board trustee, and advocate for self-directed learning. Growing up, Robyn lived and travelled to different countries. She knew that her early travel experience had given her a viewpoint on life unlike many others around her. As a mom, she wanted to share that with her growing family. After years of “dreaming” with her husband to leave the rat race and return to a life of travel and more family time, they decided that waiting “until...” would never happen and they took the plunge.They spent the next several years traveling the world. At first, their decision to homeschool was solely for the purpose of travel. However, that quickly evolved into more.It was the many experiences of life and travel that changed their idea of learning. Robyn started to let go and allowed her kids’ natural curiosity to shine. Their education has become an eclectic mix of many styles, but mainly unschooling.So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to Alberta, Canada and discuss the beauty and freedom of raising self-directed learners and how it can help build family connection!If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice.We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have.Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show NotesRobyn's website: Home - Honey, I'm Homeschooling The Kids (imhomeschooling.com)Podcast: Honey I'm Homeschooling The Kids podcastRobyn can be found on Facebook and Instagram: @ honeyimhomeschoolingthekidsClubhouse: Honey I'm Homeschooling ClubBooks Mentioned:Project-Based Homeschooling by Lori Pickert - https://amzn.to/3CtAfPXSelf-Determination Theory by Ryan & Deci - https://amzn.to/3lK8I6UFree To Learn by Peter Gray - https://amzn.to/3fIQ4bXThe Alchemist by Paulo Coelho - https://amzn.to/3yxoXIlIf you enjoyed this interview, you may also like our conversations with:Dr. Peter Gray on Episode 61 https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/7701526Dr. David Lancy on Episode 76 https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/8563942Bryanna (a radical unschooling and roadschooling parent) on Episode 50 https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/6424957Ongoing Community Support:Our Free Homeschool Getting Started Packet: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/guide-to-getting-started-packet-1.pdfThe Waldock Way https://www.thewaldockway.com/ref/76/Wild Learning Curriculum - https://discoverwildlearning.com/?ref=927Big Life Journal - https://biglifejournal.com/?aff=1417All About Reading: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.net/go.php?id=2109"We are
