This week on the podcast, I’ve put together a new kind of Q&A. It dawned on me recently that I’ve written many thousands of words in email replies to unschooling-related questions over the last few years. And I suspect that, for every person who actually emailed me, there are many others with a similar question in mind. So, I gathered a handful of questions from my inbox, heavily summarized and anonymized them, and then edited and expanded my answers.
As you listen, even if a question is about an unfamiliar situation or kids older than yours—or younger—don’t tune out. Listen and see if my thoughts about it make sense to you. My wish with this episode is not so much about solving a particular issue but about expanding your understanding of unschooling. About exploring how unschooling unfolds in our real lives. That said, some day you might find yourself in similar circumstances and you’ll already have some considered thoughts to help get you started!
