I’m Pam Laricchia and I hope you enjoyed my session at the Canadian Online Homeschool Conference 2021, Unschooling through the Teen Years.
My three kids are all in their twenties now, and I really enjoyed unschooling with them during the teen years! The typical argumentative and rebellious teen years were not our experience at all. Cultivating the connected and trusting relationships we’d already developed through unschooling, I continued to help them do the things they aspired to do. We were always working together on the same team. They made (and continue to make) my world bigger and more fun!
