homeschool community

In this episode, Emmy B and Kristen Smith discuss two newer middle grade novels by author, mother, and educator Katie Proctor. All three of us are passionate about the impact a meaningful middle grade book can have on young readers, as they navigate a diverse world and try to grow into great humans. Both of these books offer powerful characters and create an opportunity for increased empathy and understanding of the many life circumstances and stories we will encounter in our lifetimes. They help us remember to "just be kind."

Many of us do better when we have a trusted community to hang out with!

Here are some tips to finding community or building it yourself.  This podcast will give you some tips and some suggestions for both.  Remember, one size does not fit all - so you may need to create something that works for you and your kids.

Join us in the Membership group, if you'd like to surround yourself with other unschooling parents who are traveling on this path. I LOVE this group! So supportive and kind. You'll love it too. You really don't have to do this alone!
