To mark the occasion of hitting 300 episodes, I decided to share the draft of an as yet unpublished book I wrote a few years ago. The book looks at unschooling through the lens of parenting and with an audience in mind who are curious, but maybe haven’t yet made the leap. And I was trying to bring in ideas that I’d come across out in the world that, likely unbeknownst to the authors, resonated well with unschooling.
Last week, I shared the book’s Introduction, Chapter 1: What is Unschooling?, and Chapter 2: Our Parenting Mindset.
This week, we’re diving into Chapter 3: Nurturing Curiosity.

Hey Pam. Loving all of your episodes! I’m just putting together my “program” to demonstrate how I’m “educating” my children in my efforts to register for homeschooling in Australia. I particularly love how you said unschooling is not about making learning happen but rather allowing learning to naturally unfold through engagement with the surrounding environment. I’m finding myself making many memory post it notes for inclusion into my program as I’m listening to this episode. Do you have a written version of this episode? I find it super beneficial listening to information then locating those parts that stand out in print form to explore further and really clarify why those parts stood out to me. I totally appreciate if you don’t given it’s a draft of a potential new book. Thank you for the share.?
Hi Jenna! Happy to send you a copy, I’ll be in touch. 🙂
