In this video, I’m breaking down a question I get all the time: what is deschooling, and who actually needs it? Deschooling is the process of stepping back from “school thinking” (the schedules, the pressure, the checklists, the mindset that learning only counts if it looks like school) so you and your kids can reset and rebuild a healthier homeschool rhythm. And yes—my opinion is that everyone needs to deschool at some point, whether you’re brand new, switching from public school, or you’ve been homeschooling for years and just feel stuck. I share why deschooling matters so much for long-term homeschool success and how you can do it in real life without feeling like you’re “falling behind.” It’s never too late to deschool—sometimes you just need a pause to observe your kids, reconnect, and remember that learning is bigger than worksheets. I also mention a book that really gets you thinking about the system behind modern schooling and why so many families feel burned out before they even start homeschooling.
