Are you tired of the traditional school system stifling your child’s natural curiosity? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to trust your child to lead their own learning journey?

Today, I am joined by Leah McDermott, a homeschooling expert and advocate for unschooling. Leah shares her personal journey, starting as a rigid, homeschooled child and how she transitioned into a more flexible, child-led approach to education. We discuss the emotional and practical challenges of unschooling, including how societal fears and conditioning can make it difficult to trust our children to learn at their own pace.

If you’re curious about how unschooling works in real life or how to foster a deeper relationship with your kids, this episode is a must-listen.

In This Episode:

• Shifting from homeschooling to unschooling
• How schools disconnect kids from curiosity
• Trusting children’s natural ability to learn
• Overcoming societal fears around unschooling
• Why connected parenting and unschooling overlap
• Creating a safe space for independent learning
