MULBERRY PLANNERPam Laricchia is a Canadian unschooling author, speaker and podcaster who explains why the unschooling principles are resonating with so many parents worldwide. Pam shares the heart of unschooling so beautifully, and it's surprisingly simple!
In February 2017, Pam and I had a wonderful, open chat about:
- Demystifying the parent's role in an unschooling approach
- What unschooling looks like as a lifestyle, and how it flows into adulthood
- Why unschooling is a unique opportunity for children to develop emotional awareness, introspection, social negotiation and confidence in social settings
- Why context is so important, so that a child sees how learning a skill is valuable to THEM
- The questions to ask to see where your kids are at with unschooling
- Why the word 'just' will prevent you from truly understanding what learning looks like for your children
