“Have trust in the kids, know that they can follow their passions intuitively. We don’t have to set all these standards of where they should be or would be or could be if they were in the system. Just trust.”

Assunta, her husband and two daughters (aged 11 and 8), live on 2.5 acres in the upper Hunter region of New South Wales, where she is never happier than with her feet on the earth and her hands in the dirt. In this conversation we cover how their family navigated the transition from Steiner education to homeschooling, mourning the loss of the life they had envisaged whilst being accepting of change, permaculture, craft clubs, screen boundaries, travelling as a form of deschooling and Assunta’s Seeds of Gratitude curriculum.

This podcast was recorded on the land of the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, always will be aboriginal land.
