147: A Big Chat About Unschooling Teenagers

My daughters Imogen and Sophie join me to talk about unschooling teenagers:

• What do teenagers need?
• Should parents introduce more structured learning during the high school years?
• Or do teenagers need to be free to continue to explore their passions?
• What should we do if a teenager doesn't appear to have any particular passions?
• What about university?
• Do parents keep teenagers safe by keeping a tight hold on them? Is this the responsible thing to do?
• Or do we keep teenagers safe by giving them their freedom to discover who they are?
• Should parents be friends with their teenagers?
• Is it never too late to build close relationships with our teenagers?
• Is it essential we do this?

These are just a few of the many questions we discuss during our big chat about unschooling teenagers!
