Home is where you park it

Jan 17, 2021

We have been a nomad family for two and a half years. It is not an eternity, but it is a long time. The kids have grown, we have all learned. The question of home has been a big one.

Does school prepare children for work?

Jan 13, 2021

By Cecilie Conrad

Children are forced to internalize the values and structures of society, telling them school is for the better. Let us set the children free.

On #unschooling: Studying Sokrates and the discipline of logic.

By Cecilie Conrad

My sons are laughing so hard, they can hardly stand, as we were voluntary and together in our home – studying Sokrates and the discipline of logic.

We have CHOSEN to create a life where we can unschool our children. It is a question of whether it is important enough to fight for.

Travelblog about life and death, gratefulness and places

Sep 6, 2020

By Cecilie Conrad

In this blog post, I share our journey through two weeks of late summer 2020. I take you to some nature-sights of Denmark, write about experiencing Shakespeare with children, share the meaningfulness of board games, celebrate anniversaries and birthdays, and share how it feels to visit parents. I reflect upon the life of change, the nomadic choice, how it affects us, and how it makes sense.

Why do tasks and projects and stuff keep accumulating in our life? Why was this not fixed by moving into a bus and set out to travel the world?

Appearance matters

Do you still co-sleep?

Aug 9, 2019

By Cecilie Conrad

Bedtime with children is sometimes described as a science, it can be a huge fuzz – and sleeping in one big pile is to some people a wild idea. Others embrace it, but believe it can only function with toddlers. But do we really need individual beds, how does reality look from a tiny house with big children?

Unschooling and responsibility

May 27, 2019

By Cecilie Conrad

The question of parental responsibility in the context of the unschooling philosophy is quite complicated. To find the solution, we need to begin with core values. If we are just afraid of “ruling,” we, the adults, become unclear and vague, which will ruin the joy of life. And the unschooling as well.

A theme of reflection in our family at the moment is responsibility. What is my responsibility, and how can I meet it? We think about this a lot, about morals, ethics, and focus.

A Dad Gets Comfortable With Unschooling

Jul 27, 2018

By Jesper Conrad

“If you look at how much of the morning goes into waking the kids up when they’re not done sleeping, getting them to shower, go to the bathroom, eat, arguing. ‘Come on. You need to go! You’re going to be late.’ They sometimes started to cry and I had to hurry to work with that on my mind.”

Homeschooling Is Growing In Denmark

Jul 12, 2018

By Jesper Conrad

"My wife and I were in Denmark in the mid-1980s and I asked a Dane we got to know if homeschooling was allowed in Denmark. He replied why would anyone do that in Denmark? They could make whatever school they wanted. 35 years later there is now a nascent homeschooling/unschooling movement there. Is something rotten in Denmark?"
