I’m happy to share the last of my HSC Adventures in Homeschooling conference talks with you, A Family of Individuals.
In this talk, I focus on family relationships.
In our society family harmony is a prized goal, promising an easygoing peace. It can be elusive, but we see some experienced unschooling families in action and we want that joy. “Why can’t you guys just get along??” Yet focusing on the interactions between family members often invites comparisons and discord—the opposite of harmony. In this talk, Pam shares how, though it may seem counterintuitive at first, fully supporting and celebrating the individuals in the family better fosters a long-term atmosphere of joy and harmony.
I hope you enjoy it!

Pam, thank you for this. I’m so glad you decided to share this on your podcast; it is very pertinent to our family as we’re beginning the unschooling paradigm shift (to use your terminology 🙂 I can’t wait to share it with my spouse. It made me wonder if you plan to share your talk(s?) from the latest conference you attended. Since we didn’t get to be there, I would love to hear those thoughts if possible.
Hi Carol, I’m glad my talk resonated with you.
As for recent talks, if you’re thinking of the Childhood Redefined Summit, we’re working on having the next one online, so people don’t have to travel. 🙂
I’ll definitely keep people updated on the podcast when plans become firmer.
