概要
 We’re back with the fifth episode in our series in which we’re working our way through Pam’s book, The Unschooling Journey: A Field Guide. Today, we’re continuing our exploration of the deschooling phase of the journey with stage nine: Accepting Our Nature. This stage is all about the temptations from our old life that may lead us to abandon or stray from our unschooling quest. Our lives have likely changed quite a bit since we were living in our ordinary world, but, chances are, there are times when our new reality doesn’t match what we first envisioned our unschooling lives would look like. It is in those moments that we can give ourselves grace and accept ourselves exactly where and as we are. We hope you find this episode helpful on your unschooling journey!

I am Pam Laricchia from Living Joyfully, and I’m joined today by my co-hosts, Anna Brown and Erika Ellis. Hi. ANNA/ERIKA: Hello! PAM: And we are back with another episode in our A Field Guide series. We are working our way through my book, The Unschooling Journey: A Field Guide, which is framed around the hero’s journey and is a weave of myths, contemporary stories and tales from my own journey. We are deep in the de-schooling phase. In the last episode of this series, episode 417, we dug into the idea of accepting the value of all experiences. As we continue our journey on the road of trials, in this episode, we are exploring the idea of accepting our nature. If you’re newer to unschooling, and this is your first time exploring these ideas, you’re likely dancing with them more intellectually to understand what they mean, and maybe even discover some of their further reaching implications. If you’ve been unschooling for a while and feel like you are already intellectually embracing these ideas, and have actually been bringing them into your family’s lives, now’s the time to maybe peel back some more layers to build more connections and context around them, strengthening your web of understanding with your own experiences. As we’re chatting, thinking about how this relates to things that you have had going on in your world, and building your own wisdom around it, as you move towards believing these in your bones as your own truth, a version that works for you. And all that’s to say, welcome to stage nine. This stage is all about the temptations from our old life that may lead us to abandon or stray from our unschooling quest. Our lives have likely changed quite a bit since we were living in our ordinary world. But chances are, there are times when our new reality doesn’t match what we first envisioned our unschooling lives to look like. There can be times when the stories we tell ourselves and the movies we play out over and over in our heads are more about what we think our lives should be rather than what they are, or what we envisioned when we first heard about unschooling. Maybe that just sounds amazing. All our lives will be perfect, things won’t go wrong, we’ll just do whatever we want. I found it so interesting just to recognize that around this point in our journey, we are far enough away from our old lives, that we might feel a twinge of almost nostalgia for maybe the seeming relative ease of doing things the same way as pretty much everyone else, with parents in control and kids learning conventionally. And when things got challenging, sometimes I’d experienced the pull of temptation to step off the path. And so maybe the trigger is sibling arguments, or time spent on an activity you’re uncomfortable with, or just worry about your child’s learning, they’re not learning X, Y, or Z and, and other kids their age are learning ABC, etc. At first, we might try to kind of ignore our growing frustration, right? Oh, no, no, this is our choice. This is the way it goes. We’re just going to ignore it, keep ourselves busy with other things, bite our tongue, because I’m not supposed to do that if we’re unschooling. Then maybe we start to feel a bit exposed, sure that others see the same challenge, and we fear being judged a failure on ...
