Description

As a toy designer and expert in play, you would have thought the prospect of homeschooling would have been easy. Juggling the responsibilities of being teacher, and mother working from home, provided harder than I had realised. In this talk I will share my insights into how my deeply held conviction of ‘learning through play’ has been both tested and supported. How social pressures influenced my expectations of homeschooling and how the reality wasn’t quite as weary as I had first thought. I will talk about how a more relaxed attitude can benefit you and the children and how learning is so much more than the core educational topics taught in schools.
