Homeschool Unrefined

One of our favorite Instagram follows is here! Saira Siddiqui (@confessionsofamuslimmom) is a perspective-shifting writer and digital parent educator. If you haven’t met Saira yet, allow us to introduce you. Pull up a chair (and pull out a notepad!)—you’ll want to give this conversation your full attention and catch every bit of Saira's wisdom. Listening to Saira will challenge your ideas about education and embolden you to go your own way with whatever method of learning and living your family embraces.   In this episode: Saira Siddiqui is a Digital Parent Educator, advocating critically thinking, anti-bias, self-directed education (unschooling), and stronger emotional health for parents and children: "The goal of education is critical thinking.” We talk a lot about unschooling and what it means to Saira: “Unschooling and self-direction isn’t just how we learn, it’s a mindset. It’s a lifestyle.” We touch on deschooling ourselves and unlearning our educational backgrounds, including questioning the idea that work and home have to be separate: “What are my passions? What am I pursuing? What am I contributing?” Saira also explains how unschooling changed her own path: “It wasn’t until I really truly embraced unschooling that my own trajectory took off.” Plus, we talk about the value of self-direction in learning: “A lot of what makes us successful as adults has to be very intrinsic.” Lastly, Saira shares about their family’s choice to live abroad: “When you live in a place, you see people for how they see themselves, not how you see them.”  Connect with Saira on Instagram, Facebook, and her website.   Get the Extended Interview! Patrons get our extended interview where we talk about some of Saira's favorite books (your TBR pile is about to get a lot taller!). We also get her take on the Homeschool Unrefined signatures: "What We Don't Do" and "Giving Ourselves Credit"–join now to listen!   Speaking of Patreon...

What if what saves your homeschool isn’t anything you can order on Amazon or put on a report card? We’re talking about the ways nature and self-care are totally saving the day for us. PLUS we’re sharing a snippet from our class on The Four Tendencies. This is *THE* framework that’s helped make our relationships and homeschool better, day after day.   Four Tendencies & Homeschool This might be the most practical of all personality profiles. While other profiles focus on ideas and theories, the Four Tendencies focuses on the here and now. How do you meet expectations? How do your kids meet expectations? When we know how our kids best meet expectations, we can reduce homeschool conflict and help motivate our kids to be efficient, effective, and purposeful. This class will help you pinpoint how you best respond to expectations, giving you techniques to have a more productive and positive homeschool. And just as importantly, you’ll learn how to work with your kids’ different Tendencies.

We’re continuing our fall mini-series on what’s saving our homeschool RIGHT NOW. This week, we’re talking about the e-reader that’s changing reading for one of our kids and the master homeschool plan we can’t homeschool without. PLUS we’re sharing an excerpt from our Enneagram & Homeschool Class! We look at Enneagram numbers 1, 2, and 3, and talk about how they might show up in homeschooling. Embracing Enneagram in our homeschool has empowered us to be ourselves. That kind of freedom can change your homeschool, too!   Enneagram & Homeschool Class Enneagram is our new love. We think about it often, and the more we live, the more we see it show up as an important factor in understanding how each of us process and learn. In this class, we not only go through each number, but we teach you how each number thrives. We talk about what might be perceived strengths and weaknesses, and we equip you with ways to use them both for life-long skills. Again, the goal is not to get you to know your (or your child’s) exact number, but to set you on the path. Giving you the right questions to ask yourself, helping you notice things in your life that will give you clues to each number’s habits, needs, and interests.   Check out all our classes at homeschoolunrefined.com/classes.   Each class is $10, with all four classes bundled for just $30.

About the time you think you’ve got homeschool figured out, it’s time to adapt again. So we’re talking about What’s Saving Our Homeschool RIGHT NOW. Give yourself credit for being adaptable and finding what works for you! We’re also sharing an excerpt from our Personalities + Homeschool classes. This week, we’re talking through the differences between S/N (Sensing/Intuition) in the Myers-Briggs 16-types personality system. You’ll hear our insights as a Sensor (Angela) and an Intuitive (Maren) and discover how understanding the S/N dynamic can impact your homeschool.   Myers-Briggs & Homeschool Class This personality profile was our first love in the personality world. We have studied it for years, and it’s long been part of our everyday conversations. In this class we’ll go into each of the eight letters in the Myers-Briggs and how each one might affect the parent and the homeschooler. Our goal is not to get you to understand your exact letter combination (although you’ll probably come out with some ideas), but to set you on the right path to self-awareness and child-awareness. This class will change your mindset about how all of our brains are wired, and you will rest assured that you can work with whatever combination of letters you have in your home. There is no ideal homeschool personality. Homeschool can work for ANYONE! We’ll show you how!    Check out all our classes at homeschoolunrefined.com/classes.   Each class is $10, with all four classes bundled for just $30. (Psst...

As the poet once said: "The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. But we're just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. Shake it off, shake it off!" Every homeschooler will inevitably encounter a homeschool skeptic at some time--be it the Target cashier, your neighbor lady, Aunt Myrtle at Thanksgiving, or a stranger who asks why your kids aren't in school on a random Tuesday morning.
