![]() You don’t have to buy that expensive curriculum.The reveal is satisfying. It’s only $99 and I PROMISE it will save you so much money. My New Unschooler course, Jumping Into Unschooling is discounted this month - because this is the month many of us are deciding what to do. After 25 years in this community, I have so many resources to help you - whether you want to dip your toes in the water, or dive on in. And we didn’t duplicate school - not even in the teen years! I want to show you how. They got into college, conservatories, trade schools, own homes and businesses, started families - all things! AND they had awesome childhoods. They all took different paths - and they were and are prepared for their young adult lives. Something that can show you how it’s OK to do something unconventional more than ok! Actually a really good idea! My own unschooled now-grown kids are 33, 31, and 28. Something to help you see that your connection with your kid matters most. Each week, I offer you 5-10 minutes of an unschooling peptalk. So instead of answering her and sending her some resources, I thought I’d put it in the podcast! If we haven’t met or this is your first time listening, I’m Sue Patterson, and this is the Unschooling Mom2Mom podcast. and anything that seems even a little bit "educational? In this episode of the Unschooling Mom2Mom Podcast, Sue Patterson shares how and why the unschooling approach is perfect for this! Podcast Transcript Hi Everyone! It’s time we talk about teens again! I’ll share a message I received just today about a family that’s wondering how to do this. What do you do when your teen hates school. Knowledge + Support is what leads you to unschooling success - and I offer both. ![]() We all learn differently, so I want you to find what works best for you. I’ve been creating resources to help families for 25 years - and I can help you too. I bring little unschooling pep talks to you - short, usually under 10 minutes or so - information to help you see that Unschooling works. _ I’m Sue Patterson and this is the Unschooling Mom2Mom podcast. For those of you already unschooling, listening to this podcast, do you feel that urge to toss a lifeline to these parents and say, “Don’t do it.” For years, these mothers - all of us really - have been conditioned to stop questioning the status quo, get back in line and ignore our guts about keeping the kids home, and trust The System. Maybe this sounds like you or someone you know. These parents see their own family as the most important unit, and not their child’s homeroom teacher and class. They are parents who see how quickly the days pass and they want more time with their sons and daughters - not less. They’d like to maybe explore something else for their child. But something is tugging at some of these other moms who simply don’t know they have choices. The defensive posturing from moms who overhear but were counting down the days to ship the kids off. These are the moms I want to lean over to and say, “Don’t do it.” I know the reactions that would get. Some of those moms don’t look that happy about it either - but they’re dutifully checking off items on their supply lists, and trying to comfort their kids. They’re not all that thrilled about returning to school. The kids don’t usually seem that happy about their moms’ glee at getting rid of them… but that’s probably… for another podcast, right? A quick glance at some of the kids there in the shopping aisle - and we’ll see they’re looking pretty sad about summer ending. And I also overhear some moms loudly announcing, “Only four more days…” with their kids in earshot… envisioning their relaxing lunch dates and calmer afternoons before the kids get home. I know that some families are excited to be getting all their stuff together for the new year. Podcast Transcript Each year, about this time, I get a little twinge that lasts about a month or so - especially when I walk into a grocery store or Target or any other place that has those Back-to-School shopping aisles.
