Ep.2 You Don't Need A Schedule!
Welcome back! This might be hard for you to hear if you’re a recovering type-A planner, but you don’t need a unschool schedule. The pretty color-coded timed plans are gorgeous and I’m guilty of falling for them too. The truth is, those timed schedules are unrealistic for most families.
Schedules are strict and hard to keep, resulting in overwhelm and frustration when they fail. A routine is much easier to maintain. Routines are habits that don’t need to be written down for you to follow through, so they’re a lot easier for kids to internalize and stick with over time. Using a unschool routine instead of a schedule allows you to shift things around to begin school at different times of the day. You'll have the freedom and flexibility we all love about homeschooling with a more relaxed unschool routine.
