How do Unschooled Kids LEARN what they need? Getting Started Unschooling for New Homeschoolers

In Video #2 of 3 in the Free Getting Started Unschooling Mini-Course, we talk about learning. And specifically, how will your children learn what they need to know if you choose the unschooling route for homeschooling.
Watch this short (under 10 minutes) video to get a little more information about how to unschool.
If you're thinking about homeschooling - maybe you're exploring all the various methods (Charlotte Mason, Eclectic, Relaxed, Classical Homeschooling) - I want you to consider the unschooling homeschooling method! The School-at-home approach often leads to more frustration and power struggles than is really necessary at all. But new homeschooling parents don't realize that and go on duplicating the very thing they were trying to get away from!
My own 3 kids were unschooled - all in their 30s now with careers, degrees, homes, and families. AND they loved their childhoods. No doors were closed because we took this unconventional approach to education. If you're like me, you're a little skeptical. But as time went on, I learned more about how kids learn and unschooling started to make more sense. I can help you figure out what would work best for you and your family.

COMMON QUESTIONS:
❓ What if I’m not going to unschool?
Video 1 will help walk you through the legal requirements for everyone opting for homeschooling. (And Unschooling is a subgroup/method of “homeschooling”) This video will also help you tap into the community so you can provide a full rich life for your child. You might go ahead and watch the next two though, just for the information. Lots of parents like pieces of unschooling - and there's nothing wrong with implementing the parts that resonate for you!
❓ Will I completely understand all about Unschooling after I take this mini-course?
Will all my fears disappear?
I wish! This mini-course is Step 1 toward all of that though. Having clarity at the beginning of this journey will prevent you from missteps along the way. I’ve included resources to keep diving a little deeper, going at your own pace, and getting the information you need to overcome whatever obstacles are keeping you from embracing and enjoying unschooling.
❓ I don't want to do this alone - can Sue keep helping me with this?
Yes! You can hop onto her coaching calendar and talk with her by phone or zoom - a 30 minute or a full hour call. Many parents set up regular monthly calls.
Sue can become your own Unschooling Personal Trainer!
Private Coaching: www.suepatterson.as.me
Sue also has a private coaching group, Creating Confidence Membership, with multiple zoom calls each week, a private WhatsApp channel and Facebook group, and a huge resource library with PDFs only available to group members. You'll love all the support you'll get!

I’m a new unschooling mom to my 10 year old son…I love the freedom of it, he loves it because he hates traditional school but sometimes I have doubts that I could be hurting his future but when I hear your experience the doubt goes away. Thank you for all that you do for the unschooling parents like me.

[@UnschoolingMom2Mom]

Hi Liana, I just wanted to let you know that EVERYONE feels this way. We all want every door to stay open for our kids and I'm so happy to let you know that unschooling won't be a problem for that! You'll still have to keep thinking about what you're doing (and more importantly, why) but prioritzing the connection and the relationship with your son will be the path to helping him live his best life!
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad I'm able to help! 💛

Hi Sue. The link to the PDFs for this video seems to take me to the video 1 PDFs rather than the video 2 ones.
