In this episode, you’ll meet Robyn Robertson, a veteran unschooling mom to two teens, podcast host, business owner, and public school board trustee living in northern Alberta, Canada. 

She combines her experience with unschooling, advocacy for self-directed learning, and community building to help families envision and create their own unique learning paths.

A few topics we discuss are:

  • Robyn’s definition of unschooling and why it works for her family

  • Why trusting the process is essential for long-term homeschooling/unschooling success, and a few resources that have helped her along the way

  • How a typical day as an unschooling family of teens looks, and get a glimpse into how it looked when her children were younger

In a bonus episode, Robyn shares:

  • Why she unschools

  • Her top tips for unschooling, unschooling while working from home, and building community

  • Her journey to unschooling via traveling the world with her family

  • What is misunderstood about unschooling, and what parents need to do to make unschooling work for their families

  • Why it’s essential to allow your homeschoolers to have real-life experiences away from you while they’re young
