Hello All, 

I hope you are doing great.

I have some questions for you.

What kind of world do you want to create for your child?

What lessons did you learn from your childhood?

Do you want your kids to remain confined within four walls, under the same academic pressure, learning from outdated texts?

Are you going to accept all societal norms without question?

These are the questions we need to ask ourselves.

What will we do to change those systems and break those limitations?

Haven’t we all dreamt of a world where children play freely in open spaces, safely, with no pressure?

And what steps will we take to achieve this vision?

I’m sharing a beautiful video from my friend Andreas Wil Gerdes, where kids are free, playing barefoot, happy, carefree, and truly living in the moment.

There’s music, mountains, clean water, positivity, love, and so much beauty.

As Adi has grown, our homeschooling journey has naturally shifted from broad exploration to more focused skill development.

Now almost 11, Adi is honing in on specific interests, and we’ve adapted by setting yearly goals and creating a flexible daily routine to support his passions.

One key to navigating this transition has been the combination of planning and documentation.

Having a plan helps guide Adi's learning, providing structure without stifling his freedom.

We document his progress, capturing the projects he’s worked on and the skills he’s developed, making it easier to reflect and share his achievements.

Creating a progress report and maintaining a profile for Adi has been essential in showcasing his learning journey.

We also set aside time for regular reflection, allowing us to adapt his learning path as needed.

This approach ensures that as Adi continues to explore and grow, he does so with clarity, intention, and a sense of purpose.
