Sue Patterson joins me again this week for the second part of our conversation, diving into three more listener questions. Check out part one here!

Question Summaries

I feel like I should be finding more friends for my kids to play with, but I’m introverted and it’s hard for me to reach out.

My 12yo daughter is attending middle school and I think it’s so damaging for her, but she wants to continue going. How can I convince her to try unschooling?

I have three kids ages 9, 5, and 2. I feel completely overwhelmed trying to meet all of their different needs as well as my own, while taking care of the house without any help.
