What My Kids Taught Me This Year: Embracing Autonomy Over Curriculum
from Secular Homeschool Revolution · host Ashley
In this episode of Secular Homeschool Revolution, I reflect on what my children taught me this year that no curriculum ever could. From honoring autonomy and responding to resistance, to building emotional literacy and modeling accountability, this conversation is about flipping the power dynamic in homeschooling. I share what it’s been like watching my oldest step into her own identity at a microschool, listening when curriculum created tension instead of learning, and unlearning emotional patterns rooted in being unheard. This episode is for secular, progressive homeschool families who are committed to decolonized, relationship-centered learning and who believe children are whole people right now, not future adults in training. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “do homeschooling right,” this episode is your reminder: trust, relationship, and listening matter more than any plan.
