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!

Radical unschooling is often misunderstood as extreme, hands-off parenting or a rejection of learning altogether. In reality, radical unschooling is about going to the root of how children learn best — through connection, trust, and real life. It's not limited to academics - it's about ALL Learning. This post explains what radical unschooling actually means, what it doesn’t, and why it’s far more intentional than most people assume.

How do Unschooling moms make plans?
By Sue Patterson March 16, 2026
One of the questions unschooling parents ask all the time is: “But how do you plan anything?” Most of us were trained to believe planning means lesson plans, subjects, and assignments. So when you remove curriculum, it can feel like you’ve removed the roadmap too. But unschooling planning isn’t about deciding what your child must learn next. It’s about shaping a life where curiosity has room to grow.
