Episode Transcript
This was awesome! I am also in school I go a granddaughter (8) after unschooling her mother. I wonder how many second or third generation children we have now. I am curious about grandparents who continue to unschool grandchildren and how that might influence the next generations.
That’s wonderful, Aleta!
There are a couple other episodes you might enjoy along that vein. One is with another unschooling grandparent: http://livingjoyfully.ca/blog/2017/03/eu064-grandparents-with-sheila-baranoski/.
