139: Unschool Socialisation: Making Friends, Being Different

This week, I'm talking about unschooling and friends.

• Is it sometimes difficult for unschoolers to find kindred spirit friends because we're different?
• What if our kids don't have many friends?
• If someone doesn't want to be our friend, is there something wrong with us?
• How do you become a cool kid?
• Should we pretend to be someone we're not so that we'll be accepted and have friends?
• Or is it better to be ourselves?
• Do we need lots of friends in order to learn good communication skills and how to get on with other people? 
• Or maybe some 'socialised' people who have no trouble talking don't actually have many communication skills?

Of course, some unschoolers may be part of big unschooling groups and have no trouble finding like-minded friends!

I'm also talking about

• NaNoWriMo and friends
• My unschooling book
• How I stepped outside my comfort zone and had an exciting adventure!
