In this episode, I’m chatting with Nicki about how her family ended up going from a teaching family to an unschooling family with two home businesses. This is part two of our series on families that unschool, homeschool, wildschool and world school that will run until the end of the year. Wondering if home schooling or unschooling is for you? Then this is the episode for you.

👉  Vicci & Nicki Discuss

  • What the one thing was that made her decide to homeschool
  • How her family manages financially
  • Socialisation
  • How Nicki 'convinced' her husband to homeschool (note: she didn't!)
  • How she gets self-care time
  • Whether she worries about her children 'falling behind'
  • How her children will be prepared for University if they're homeschooling

👉 Nicki's Details

Vicci Oliver and Nicki Farrell are adventurous nature play makers, risk-takers, children’s rights advocates and the co-founders of Wildlings Forest School. We are the hosts of the ‘Raising Wildlings’ podcast and we put the dirt back in childhood.

During any Wildlings Forest School program, you are likely to find Wildlings up trees, sliding down mud slides, whittling with pocket knives, lighting fires and building rafts. We let kids, be kids - because children can’t learn to protect nature if they’ve never had a childhood in it.
