Listen Later

Text Sue what you think!

Ever wonder if you’re doing enough when your child just wants to play all day — Legos, trampolines, video games — and you’re trying to trust unschooling? 

In this episode, Sue Patterson from Unschooling Mom2Mom answers a real email from a worried parent and explains:

  •  Why this “all play” phase is normal during deschooling, 
  • What’s actually happening in your child’s brain,
  •  How to shift from panic to partnership. 
  • How play builds real learning, 
  • Why motivation returns naturally
  • How to support your child without slipping into passivity or overcontrol.
