Enjoying Your LIFE is Good Unschooling Conference Experience

Attending the LIFE is Good Unschooling Conference is a joyful and inspiring experience. It's a hub of energy and excitement that brings unschooling families together for learning, connection, and fun. However, such dynamic environments can be overwhelming, especially for sensitive souls—parents and kids alike. To ensure you and your family fully enjoy the event, here are a few veteran tips designed to help you thrive:

1. Pace Yourself—Say Goodbye to FOMO (Fear of Missing Out!)

With a packed schedule of enriching presentations, discussions, and other activities, it’s tempting to try to do it all. But four or more days of high energy can be exhausting, even in the best way! Instead, select a few key events and allow for some breathing room.

2. Take Time to Recharge

Whether it’s relaxing in your room, taking a quiet walk, watching TV, or snacking, downtime is essential. Let those restorative moments help you and your kids reset and prepare for the next adventure.

3. Prepare Your Kids for What to Expect

Older kids may be excited but also need preparation for the busy atmosphere. Little ones, in particular, will often need you nearby to navigate new people and situations. Don’t worry if you miss some sessions—there is always someone to talk to who can help you catch up later.

4. Navigate Raffle and Auction Excitement with Care

Raffle and silent auction items help raise scholarship funds, offering opportunities to win unique goodies. Discuss with your kids the concept of “one winner” beforehand to manage expectations, or plan ways to handle any potential disappointment. Want to surprise them? Consider bidding on their behalf.

5. Prioritize Your Family’s Needs

Every family is unique. Focus on meeting your kids’ needs, whether that involves spending time at a session or simply enjoying a quiet corner together.

6. Bring Comforts from Home

Pack favorite snacks, toys, games, and clothing to create a sense of familiarity in this new environment. Feeling at home makes all the difference.

7. Reach Out for Support

If challenges arise, remember that you’re surrounded by a community of understanding and supportive attendees. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if needed.
