Unschooling Consultations

There is no playbook for unschooling! It’s going to look different in every home.

That said, sometimes it helps to talk to someone who’s been there and understands the unique joy and challenges that come from being an unschooling family.

Book a one-hour call with a member of the Living Joyfully team (Pam, Anna, or Erika) to discuss your questions and challenges around unschooling.
