In this conversation with Laura Shelley-Butler, we talk about her travelling homeschooling lifestyle with three kids under eight. Laura shares how it practically looks for her family, as well has her beliefs and approach to unschooling.
You’ll hear us discuss:
- What Laura’s homeschooling set up looks like
- What Laura is calling in for unschooling and what she’d change
- Screens and road learning
- How lockdown learning and homeschooling are a different kettle of fish
- Self development as a parent and resources for parents
- What Laura would say to someone who says “I’m not a teacher”
The connection with nature is not something that I grew up with and it's something that I've been able to cultivate more within myself and to expose to my children, which I think will be amazing for them as they grow up.
MEET LAURA SHELLEY-BUTLER
Laura is a dedicated home educating / unschooling mama to 3 beautiful children. Laura is passionate and adventurous, currently taking advantage of the freedom home education allows travelling full time with her family. Laura is also a doula, circle facilitator, runs an online book club and writes a substack all about unschooling.
It feels right and good. And it's been overwhelmingly positive. I am completely flawed by how much my kids learn, what their interests are, how they, unfold as these amazing human beings that are gonna go out into the world and do amazing things.
