#114: Unschooling Is Not Unparenting
Manage episode 377277420 series 3484134
People have been referring to unschooling as unparenting for decades - and nothing could be farther from the truth!
When people use the term “unparenting,” they usually mean something like this:
- No assistance or direction from the parents
- Parents who don’t publicly reprimand their kids when they don’t conform socially.
- Parents not enforcing bed times, allowing “back talk,” – not adhering to mainstream parenting techniques
- Kids who seem wild in public, maybe presenting with messy hair/poor hygiene
True UnParenting is neglect – and that’s the opposite of unschooling.
People who are unparenting are ignoring, avoiding and not engaging with their children. Unschoolers fuel their child’s interests.
Unschoolers expose their kids to new opportunities.
Unschooling parents console their kids when things don’t work out.
Unschooling parents become their child'sbiggest source of support and love.
Those are the very things that make unschooling work out – unschooling parents do all of that!
Sue Patterson shares why people may accuse unschoolers of unparenting, offers explanations for this misconception AND solutions to dispel the myth.
