Real questions. Honest support.
A different perspective for families learning outside school.

For years, parents have brought us their hardest questions about home education, learning, family life, big emotions, and doing things differently with kids.

Dear Sari & Becka is our weekly advice column, where we offer honest support, compassionate perspective, and the occasional loving reality check.

How Dear Sari & Becka works

1. Send us your anonymous question.
The messy ones. The hard ones. The ones you keep carrying.

2. Check your inbox every Friday.
One question. Honest support. A radically different perspective.

Compassion first | Honesty always | Different perspective | You’re not alone

Your anonymous space for the messy questions about homeschool/unschool, parenting, learning, family life — and everything in between.

Dear Sari & Becka...

…AM I RUINING MY CHILD?
We chose a different path because it felt right. So why am I suddenly questioning everything? What if I'm getting this completely wrong?

…WHY DOES EVERYTHING BECOME A BATTLE?
We are homeschooling in order to have more freedom. Every time I suggest an activity, it turns into resistance. How do I support their learning without constantly pushing?

…IS MY KID LAZY?
All they want to do is game, create, or hang out. How do I know they're actually learning enough?

…MY PARTNER THINKS I’M TOO SOFT.
I want more trust and less control. My partner thinks we need more rules, structure, and consequences. How do we parent when we don't agree?

…WHAT IF THEY'RE FALLING BEHIND?
We left school because we wanted something different. But it's hard not to compare. How do I know my kids are learning enough?

Sari & Becka

Hey, it’s us — Sari & Becka. We know what it’s like to wonder, “What am I missing?” when life with kids feels hard.

As unschooling mamas to neurodivergent kids — and through years of supporting other parents — we bring both lived and professional perspective.

Dear Sari & Becka is our weekly space for honest support and the occasional loving reality check.
