When things fascinate the children, the family digs in deeper.įor example, their son Elijah became interested in bamboo at the age of 13, which quickly turned into a larger interest in the country of Japan.
The same rings true for the Knorpp family. "Sometimes we need to let them show us that they can do things and it changes the perspective." But within cooking, there are important lessons about math and measuring and science. "But if you let children find their path, they will show an interest in something."įor example, Aiden has recently found a love for cooking.
"A lot of parents get worried and think, 'What if my kid doesn't show an interest in anything?'" she said. We put so much pressure on ourselves to teach when kids are constantly learning."Īsh urged parents to help their children start to enjoy learning, and one strategy for that is by letting it happen naturally.Īiden has recently been embracing cooking and new chef Aiden shows an interest in, Karen follows. "When the human brain never stops learning."Īsh agreed with Megan's sentiment, saying: "They're sponges, and they will learn. "We have this strange view that you only learn when you decide 'I am now learning,'" she said. One piece of advice the family shared is that something doesn't need to be declared "educational" in order for kids to learn.

We’ve watched our kids bloom and grow and become interesting and unique humans through exploration, through travel, through play, and overall - through freedom. That was five years ago and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
#SHARE RV TRIAL#
So, after several years of trial and error (and reading/researching out the wazoo) we became UNSCHOOLERS. But we weren’t happy - I was constantly telling the kids to do their schooling and they were constantly avoiding it. Because both Mike and I had gone to public school, at first it pretty much just looked like a shorter version of public school at home. We started homeschooling our kids over a decade ago because we wanted to spend more time together as a family and also to have the freedom to walk to the beat of our own drum. "Go someplace new every week that offers them a different experience," Akpan said. While it's easier for her family to access new destinations, she urged others to explore their own city, town, or neighborhood. In RV camps, at museums, and along nature trails. - Let your kids explore their surroundings and be curious. - Always make yourself available to indulge in their curiosity. - Have fun with them, because that's really what matters the most. ⁉️ Do you plan on renting an RV and taking a trip with your kids? Or taking a road trip somewhere? Any questions, don't hesitate to ask below 😃. #RVshareExpertĪ post shared by Kay - Mom / RV / Homeschool on at 7:01pm PDT at 7:01pm PDT Biking, white water rafting, beach, natioal forest, national parks, parks etc. - Pack whatever tools your kids will need while on the road including books, tablet, laptop, headphones, writing materials. - Plan your activities around their school work. If you don't want to drive an RV, some owner's will even drop it off for you at your campsite. 📍Tips for Roadschooling - Plan a trip to somewhere that has lots of outdoor experiences. It is possible!! 😉 Wondering where to rent an RV, check out which is a peer to peer rental site. As always you can take an RV trip right now and stay socially distant from people. I highly recommend renting an RV and taking the kids on a trip. To be able to get up and spend all day outside being a kid 🙌🏾. With most families doing distance learning and homeschooling, you can do it too.
#SHARE RV FULL#
Talk about roadschooling, this is what I dreamt about for him when we decided to RV full time. Aiden spent his first week of school learning to sharpen a stick with a knife, build a fort in the forest, ride his bike, float on a river, read, write, draw, explore nature and more. We usually homeschool year round, but since school technically starts in August, that's when we do our first day of school photos. The only difference is that now we are full time RVing now vs being at home. We have been homeschooling for a few years now so this isn't new to us. aspiring Wild Life Biologist 🥰. This year we will be homeschooling / unschooling / roadschooling.
