What if you could completely transform your perspective on learning and parenting?
In this fascinating episode, we were thrilled to chat with our dear friend Erika Davis-Pitre, whom we met at the World School Summit in Granada in 2019. Erika is one of those people you cannot help to fall in love with. Her smile and presence make you want to listen to her - and if you can make her laugh - it feels a little like when the sun shines. Erika not only helped Cecilia realize that she was a radical unschooler but also changed her entire approach to education and raising children.
After a talk with Erika, you feel stronger and more clear on why you do what you do - Erika is one of the people who have taught us most about what it means to be an unschooling parent and what the benefits are for the parents.
Together, we explore the concept of unschooling as an identifier rather than a definer and delve into the importance of principles over rules.
We discuss how unschooling means leaving the idea of physical school behind and embracing learning all the time, at all times, without any set of circumstances to define one's learning.
Erika shares her unique perspective on radical unschooling and its crucial role in maintaining our humanity in a world that often strips it away from us.
Join us as we examine the incredible benefits of radical unschooling for families, relationships, and personal growth.
We dive into the importance of multi-generational, multi-age groups in learning and the freedom that unschooling provides in finding our individual contributions to the world.
Erika's inspiring story is a testament to the power of unschooling and the joy of self-discovery that it brings into people's lives.
Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation that could change the way you approach learning and life.
