What do you do when your teen hates school ...and anything that seems even a little bit "educational? In this episode of the Unschooling Mom2Mom Podcast, Sue Patterson shares how and why the unschooling approach is perfect for this! Podcast Transcript Hi Everyone! It’s time we talk about teens again! I’ll share a message I received just today about a family that’s wondering how to do this. So instead of answering her and sending her some resources, I thought I’d put it in the podcast! If we haven’t met or this is your first time listening, I’m Sue Patterson, and this is the Unschooling Mom2Mom podcast. Each week, I offer you 5-10 minutes of an unschooling peptalk. - Something to help you see that your connection with your kid matters most. - Something that can show you how it’s OK to do something unconventional more than ok! Actually a really good idea! My own unschooled now-grown kids are 35, 33, and 30. They all took different paths - and they were and are prepared for their young adult lives. They got into college, conservatories, trade schools, own homes and businesses, started families - all things! AND they had awesome childhoods. And we didn’t duplicate school - not even in the teen years! I want to show you how. After 25 years in this community, I have so many resources to help you - whether you want to dip your toes in the water, or dive on in. I’ll put links in the shownotes for you. My New Unschooler course, Jumping Into Unschooling is a great solution for getting your brain wrapped around HOW unschooling can work for your teen. You don’t have to buy that expensive curriculum. Take the course and you’ll see what I mean!
