Homeschooling: Living a Life of Freedom

Daniel Hickman shares his experience living a nomadic lifestyle and homeschooling his children.

They use booklets for structured learning but also prioritize unschooling and allowing their children to explore their interests. 

In this conversation, Daniel Hickman discusses his approach to homeschooling his children and the importance of teaching them life skills. Daniel also shares his thoughts on socialization and how he plans to address it as his children get older. He emphasizes the value of experiences over material possessions and the importance of spending quality time with his family, while offering advice for those interested in a nomadic lifestyle with kids.
