Pam Laricchia | Living Joyfully - Redefining Success and Parent-Child Relationships


Listen Later

Explore the transformative power of unschooling with Pam Laricchia, host of the popular 'The Exploring Unschooling Podcast.' 

Dive into the art of fostering enriching parent-child relationships, redefining success, and experiential learning.

Pam is the author of several books on Unschooling, and if you are new to the game, we suggest you read her books 'What is Unschooling`' and 'Free to Learn.' 

In this episode, Pam shares her journey from discovering homeschooling to becoming an unschooling advocate. She reveals how homeschooling became a lifeline when her eldest son struggled in a traditional school setting and how her family has flourished since the switch. As Pam explains, unschooling allows children to learn through their interests, experiences, and conversations, taking the pressure off parents to fit into a specific curriculum or timeline. 

As we explore the dynamics of unschooling, we uncover the nuances of navigating parent-child conversations. This approach involves a delicate balance between directing and engaging with children, creating a relationship built on trust where experiences can be shared and learning is supported. Our conversations with our children should be enriching, giving them context and understanding of the world around them. 

Pam offers insights on redefining success to be personally meaningful and supporting our children in finding their own path.

🗓️ Recorded August 2th, 2023. 📍Laythams Holiday Lets Retreat, Forest of Bowland, UK
