Jennifer McGrail, long-time unschooling mom of four, joins me on the podcast this week. I last spoke with Jennifer on the podcast in episode 18 and her kids have grown a lot since then! Jennifer shares a family update and we dive deep into how parenting and unschooling change as teenagers transition into young adults. Our roles and interactions change, but the connection is still strong thanks to the relationships that we focused on developing during our unschooling journeys.
It’s always amazing to see how different each unschooler’s path can be and how perfectly it suits them as an individual. It was so great to have a chance to talk more about this phase of our children’s lives and to catch up with Jennifer!
