The Ultimate Unschooling Q & A Discussion

Sue Patterson

Do You Have Questions about Unschooling?

Webinar is Over but Questions Still Roll in!


On May 18th, I shared a free webinar to help parents looking for a change in their educational approach. In a nutshell, I explained how unschooling works, how kids learn what they need, how parents can create the environment for all of that to happen!


Parents sent in questions for the workshop using the form below, and many brought their questions with them to get answers right there on the spot!


With years of experience and three grown unschooled kids, she has a wealth of knowledge to share.

My goal was to offer good solid unschooling information - because after 27 years and raising three now-grown unschoolers, I know that's what you need to conquer your fears, gain confidence, and get answers to all those burning questions about unschooling! 


You're not alone!
