Book Description
Have you ever wondered how unschooling works? What do unschoolers do all day? Perhaps they don’t do much at all?
Or do unschoolers live amazing lives full of love and learning?
In Curious Unschoolers, Sue Elvis discusses all aspects of unschooling including starting unschooling, passions and interests, trust, technology and screen time, maths, reading, writing, homeschool registration, responding to critics, difficult days and much more.
Sue says: “… imagine us sitting around your kitchen table, mugs in our hands, chatting about unschooling together. I’m going to share my family and our experiences. We’ll ponder ideas and thoughts. Our conversation will go deep and wide. It’ll be honest and real. And it’ll be flavoured with love and gentleness.”
Curious Unschoolers will make you feel excited about the possibilities. When you get to the last page, perhaps you’ll feel encouraged to set out on an unschooling adventure of your own.
And if you’re already unschooling, this book might reassure you that you’re not as crazy as the critics try to make out. Unschooling is not an irresponsible way to educate and bring up our kids. On the contrary, could it be a way of life that everyone should live?
Reviews
‘This is the long-awaited for collection of stories from life in the Elvis household through the perspective of unschooling. It was so very worth the wait! It’s been a pleasure to read and I will re-read it again and recommend it. Sue has been unschooling for years and she has many beautiful, inspiring tales to share about how she did this with her 8 children. It was such an inspiring read. Sue has a talent for making one feel like they are in her kitchen having a cup of tea and she is just relating wonderful stories and adventures.‘– Deb Lewis
‘Great book with many examples of unschooling in action. I feel like it’s a perfect complement to other more academic explanations of unschooling. This really demonstrates to parents how unschooling unfolds and the author has a very conversational style including a lot of questions and challenges to her own opinions.’ – Jane Jeffrey
‘I loved this book. Sue’s writing is beautiful. Her stories draw you in giving the reader an honest look at their unschooled life. I didn’t want the book to end. Looking forward to her second unschooling book.’ – Pen Name
‘Wonderful book! I have read a lot of homeschooling and unschooling books. This book is my current favorite homeschool book (in addition to Suzie Andres’ books)! I am already starting to read it for the second time. I love the way Sue writes! She is so encouraging, like meeting a friend at the park. If you decide to buy Sue’s book, you will not be disappointed.‘ – MomOf5
‘This book is like an encouraging chat with an experienced friend. Sue graciously shares the unschooling stories of her family to give us a glimpse into what unschooling can look like and what it can do for us, our children and the relationships we value the most.’ – S. Steidel-brown
The Stories of an Unschooling Family Community
Perhaps you’ve read my blog or listened to my podcast, or reached the last pages of my books. What are you thinking? Do you feel encouraged to continue living this way of life? If you haven’t started unschooling, maybe you’re excited by the idea of unschooling, but you don’t know what to do next. Or perhaps you’re just not sure about unschooling. You have more questions. You need to ponder longer.
Whatever your situation, why not join my community? We can share ideas, experiences, stories, encouragement and friendship. Together, we can dive deeper into unschooling. We can turn thoughts and ideas into something real!
