Kourtney Kardashian is forging her own educational path for her children. The 46-year-old founder of Poosh recently shared her unconventional perspectives on the education system, revealing her openness to homeschooling her kids.
"I love to buck the trend," Kourtney confessed to her sister Khloe Kardashian, 40, during a May 21 episode of Khloe's podcast, Khloe in Wonderland. "I believe that living authentically means not conforming to the norm. For instance, when it comes to the school system, I often wonder, 'Why do kids even go to school?' It truly feels outdated."
And it turns out Kourtney isn't the only one with this radical viewpoint, as Khloe admitted she's also a proponent of homeschooling. Kourtney has been contemplating her children's educational futures for quite some time, but her resolve solidified when her older kids—Mason Disick, 15, Penelope Disick, 12, and Reign Disick, 10, whom she shares with ex-partner Scott Disick—began sending her videos of successful individuals who never attended traditional schools.
"I thought to myself, 'What's the ultimate goal here?'" continued the Kardashians star. "'If you want to homeschool, let's make it happen!'"
Kourtney's parental enthusiasm extends beyond their education. She revealed that she and her husband, Travis Barker, 49, have adopted a new naptime routine with their 18-month-old son, Rocky Barker.
"With attachment parenting, I hold him in my arms the entire time during his naps," she explained. "He weighs 23 pounds, and I sit in our little chair in his room. I still use my breastfeeding pillow, and he lays on it while my arm supports him. Additionally, I cover him with a blanket to shield him from electromagnetic fields emitted by phones."
As Travis, who shares kids Landon Barker, 21, Alabama Barker, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, discovers new ways to bond with their youngest, Kourtney is also creating lasting memories with her blended family. In fact, they enjoy a family dinner every Sunday.
"The balance is wonderful, but Travis and I cherish the moments when everyone is home," she noted. "I recall the early days of our family dinners. I'd ask Travis, 'Who are you bringing? So we can set the table accordingly.' But Travis would reply, 'Let's not worry about it. Let's just go with the flow.'"
