Have you ever wondered how unschooling could unlock your child's passions and potential? 

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Mary Griffith, where we explore her family's journey with unschooling, fencing, and homeschooling. Mary shares how fencing became a significant part of their lives, allowing her daughters to pursue their interests without the constraints of school involvement, contrasting her experience with high school sports in the 1970s to the landscape of sports today.

While supporting her children, Mary became involved with the Northern California Homeschool Association and decided to write books on the subject. We discuss her challenges, the importance of family support, and her daughters' unique experiences in their educational journey. From reverse engineering her daughter's unschooled life to meet university requirements to exploring different learning styles, Mary's insights are sure to inspire others considering this unique educational path.

Finally, we discuss the need for children to explore the world, free from the confines of a classroom, and the vital role family support plays in fostering a successful environment for prospering. 

We also touch on Mary's journey with unschooling, music, and her love of natural history. 

Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the powerful potential of unschooling and how it can strengthen parent-child relationships, encourage curiosity, and foster a lifelong love of learning.
