I’m delighted to be chatting today with Maddy, who is a doctor and lives in Somerset with her husband and son who is 13 and daughter who is 14. Maddy’s daughter left school two years ago after beginning secondary school and not coping at all. Maddy talks about what burnout looked like for her daughter and how her daughter was able to slowly reconnect with the things she loved and is now thriving. And Maddy talks about letting go of the “shoulds” of school and learning has been life changing for her too. I hope you enjoy the conversation. You can find my blog, workshops and courses at: <a href='https://www.esther-jones.com'>www.esther-jones.com</a> Or, connect with me on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/estherjones.unschooling'>https://www.instagram.com/estherjones.unschooling</a> Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/TheUnschoolSpace'>https://www.facebook.com/TheUnschoolSpace</a>

#95 Thriving at 14, after school burnout, with Maddy in Somerset

Unschooling isn't just about education, it's a life choice! For most parents, embracing unschooling requires some serious unravelling of old paradigms around parenting, learning and childhood, and that can be both challenging and exhilarating.&nbsp; Join me, Esther Jones, a mindful parenting coach and unschooling mother-of-three, as I take a look at the many opportunities for reflection that naturally arise in an unschooling home. Each episode, I chat with other parents about their family’s&nbsp; experiences.&nbsp; From self-care, neurodiversity and mindfulness, to how to live consensually and trust our children, this podcast is here to help parents navigate the everyday challenges so they're free to create a healthy, nourishing and enriching space for themselves and their family.&nbsp; Thanks for listening!
