To thrive emotionally, young people need their own time and space, that is not explicitly directed at particular outcomes. theconversation.com/mental-health-…
Same for home/unschooling
Children (and all of us) need time and space to think, to notice, to discover. Such freedom is rich and valuable
No-one can pay attention 100% of the time. How stupid. It’s yet another anti-neurodiversity mindset which is completely ignorant of a wide range of additional needs and complex backgrounds.

“My child’s nature is to learn. To force it is to bring childhood into anxiety and for no reason at all.”
Worried about neurodivergent children struggling with school? Self-directed education is an option which works for many. Here I talk to Esther Jones about it. @PDAParenting @teamsquarepeg @ProgEducat @SuitableEd podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6…

“Self-directed learning does not mean no adult involvement. It means no adult force/control.” ~ Carol Black. @cblack__
'Nature', creatures, the world we are part of...videos, books and internet are rich sources of discovery as is being in the world itself. Why would anyone bemoan the lack of walls? #selfdirected #unschooling #reclaimED

The first academic book on unschooling! So thorough, authoritative and eminently readable. Thank you @professorgriley. A must-read for those who want to see the evidence for another way.@alliance4sde @UnschoolingS @DrHelenELees @EUDEC @EdPsychJournal #Edutwitter #unschooling
The discovery of graphene ❤ Playful approach ".. seen as both a useful way of maintaining interest as well as a means of generating new ideas." Children are masters of this approach, inherently scientific and naturally playful #selfdirected #reclaimED graphene.manchester.ac.uk/learn/discover…
Without the artificial separation of 'subjects' different activities lead to a myriad of different skills, abilities, sparks of interest and directions to explore. An exciting video game and a foraging book both inspired observational drawing from 7 yr old. #selfdirected
Doing nothing is doing something. I’m glad you’re resting, restoring, recovering, day dreaming, decluttering your mind, practicing stillness, breathing, reconnecting with yourself, and taking sacred pause.
"We are so limited by the way we think about things, the habits of schooling and psychology, that we cannot see the riches that wait for us if we can begin to reframe how we look at the world." -Shaun McNiff
