EPISODE 4 Gaming Q&A with My Gamer Son Dylan
Welcome to Homeschooling Homegirls episode FOUR - This episode we're gonna be talking about gaming, which is usually a hot button about how much time kids are usually on their devices and the value parents often place on gaming. This was actually in response to a Ted Talk(see blog post). The article is really well written and it touches a lot of great points. But what it got me thinking about the fact that parents perspectives are usually shared the and I thought it was really important to hear the gamers perspective, Dylan started gaming around seven and is now seventeen so he has a lot of experience and perspective to share. Dylan talks about what being unschooled is like , things he would change, roads that gaming led him down. So Join us for this episode and see the transcript in the blog post: https://www.tiffslyfe.com/post/gaming-q-a-with-my-gamer-son-dylan-episode-4!

Welcome to Homeschooling Homesgirls Podcast
Hey, this is Tiffany. Thanks for kicking it with me today. You're listening to homeschooling home girls podcast. This is a place for BIPOC parents and the homeschool and unschool community to share lived experiences while expanding our perspectives. I wanted to introduce myself today so that you know where my perspectives are being shaped from. I'm a 40 year old Chicana that has been raising three unschooled kids for the past 19 years. I'm an introvert. I'm a serial entrepreneur. I'm a teen mom. I'm a childhood abuse survivor. And I'm currently the Co-President of the Homeschooling Association of California. I speak my mind bluntly I am uncomfortable failing out loud and I jump headfirst into things like this podcast. I'm also trying to keep my inner Wild Child alive.
I was born in Whittier, raised in Southgate until we moved to Chuco town, El Paso, Texas. It's where I found my voice became more connected to my culture, and became a teen mother. I am the oldest of four raised by a single mother that gave me unconditional love without judgment. I love my kids unconditionally. But I am failing so hard at being non judgmental. I'm opinionated as a motherfucker, even if I don't say it with words, my kids Say it, I say it with my face. I've been with my husband for 19 years raising three amazing humans that have been unschooled their entire lives. Jade is 23 Dylan is 17 and Logan is eight. There's 15 years between the oldest and the youngest and six years between the older two. I've been able to homeschool differently three times. Each time I learned something new. The things I would do different if I could start all over will be a series of episodes.
So how did we get to this podcast? I have been in the unschooling /homeschool world for the last 19 years, I spent the first 17. Much like I spent my childhood in spaces that were not meant for me. I tried to twist myself and fit. And I was getting advice from people that had no clue like I was never going to be white. They were not never not going to be white. And yet, they're spewing this information like it's for everybody. And I took it that way here. I always say I drank the unschooling Kool Aid. But the last couple of years, I've found my peoples and it's just let me tell you like just real conversations, the way we commune the way we are real. And it felt like, like coming home. And so we've had a lot of these side conversations when we're sharing advice or talking about lived experiences without someone telling us how wrong we are. We just need to look at it a different way or any way violent ways that they're shut down. So that's where this podcast came from some a lot of side comments. sessions that were happening, I thought, you know, like, having these conversations out loud, to share for people with no community or also doing what I did twisting themselves, their kids to fit in spaces that aren't meant for them.
