How can we, as the "guardians of childhood," protect, strengthen and nurture our children?
“Watch over our child. Guide
him safely from the ways of harm.
Keep happy his heart, brave his
soul, and rosy his cheeks.
Guard with your life his hopes
and dreams,
for he is all that we have, all
that we are,
and all that we will ever
be.”
- William Joyce, The Man in the
Moon
Family schooling is all about living and learning together as a family with a focus on relationships and building a strong sense of connectedness, belonging, and family culture.
"Guardians of Childhood" is our first tenet of Family Schooling because we firmly believe that it is imperative to protect, preserve, and honor childhood if we are going to give our children all that childhood has to offer them.
The early years of life are where children can cultivate their sense of creativity, collaborative play, problem solving, and learn about the world by experiencing nature.
In this episode we dive deep into what this might look like as a part of daily family living with lots of examples to help you begin or grow this practice within your own family.
