7-Day Unschooling Checklist Challenge

Sue Patterson

Ready to start unschooling?

Need a little hand-holding?

I'm here to help!

Many parents are just like you - with all sorts of questions!


How exactly do you get started?
Could someone walk me through this?
What do I do once we begin?


The Unschooling Checklist Challenge

I've created an EASY Checklist to get you started on the right foot.
All the topics you need to become confident competent unschoolers.


Each day for 7 days, I'll send you an email with inspiration, action steps - and even a PDF/worksheet to help move you toward confidence! We'll cover a different topic each day:

  • Getting Legal
  • Finding Unschoolers
  • Tapping into Community
  • Tackling Worries/Concerns
  • Creating a Learning Plan
  • Parenting Shifts
  • Finding Support


Think of me as your Unschooling Personal Trainer as you start this journey!

After a week together, you'll be in great shape!

I'm so excited to do this with you!
