Robyn Robertson, unschooling mom of two, joins me again on the podcast this week. Since our last conversation in 2018, Robyn’s kids have grown! We talk about how unschooling changes when our children become teenagers. Robyn shares how supporting their interests and passions looks different now, but that the connection and relationships are still strong.
We dive into the idea of teenage rebellion and expectations that might pop up as our children grow. It’s amazing to see how the foundation of trust that Robyn has built with her children over their years of unschooling has created this rich atmosphere for growth and learning as they move towards adulthood!
