Susan Bhadury, an unschooling mom with two children, joins me this week. She shares some wonderful stories and insights as we dive into deschooling challenges, the joys of technology, helping our children follow their inner compass, how curiosity weaves its way through their lives, and lots more!
Questions for Susan
Can you share with us a bit about you and your family? What is everyone into right now?
How did you discover unschooling and what did your family’s move to unschooling look like?
What have you found to be one of the more challenging aspects of deschooling? And can you share a bit about your journey through it?
When we first connected, you mentioned that technology has been an awesome tool for your family. I’d love to hear more about that!
You recently wrote online that unschooling is about helping our children find who they truly are as people by listening and following their own inner compass without everyone around them overriding that intuition. That change in our focus, from our expectations to their inner compass, is so important, isn’t it?
What is your favourite thing about your unschooling lives right now?

Episode Transcript
Can you please tell me the name of the zoo app that her daughter plays? I have a daughter who is very interested in animals and I’d like to know. Thank you!
Hi Alison,
It’s Zoo 2: Animal Park. We really love it. You don’t need money to play the game. Since then we have found other apps too. Wonder Zoo, My Wild Pet, Wildscapes are also awesome. Animal Jam is also super cool. We bought the membership for this one. Recently the kids are into Roblox.
Hope this helps Alison ?.
