About
This course dives deeply into conscious parenting and unschooling. We aim to support people who are transitioning into unschooling and also unschoolers who want to know more about conscious parenting. We will share how we faced challenges and worked through them and give you practical examples of solutions around issues like screens and gaming and learning to read.
