S3E12 | Letting go. Of control. Of perfection. Even of unschooling? (or of the identity of being an unschooling mom)
Letting go runs through every stage of unschooling — from releasing control over what children learn, to accepting that family life changes shape without warning. The last run with all your daughters, the last night in a house you raised your children in, the last time a child needs you to put their shoes on. These moments pass without announcement. Cecilie Conrad, Sandra Dodd, and Sue Elvis use this final episode of season three to talk about what they've let go of and what still holds. Sand...

S3E11 | Unschooling - How much time does it take and what does it cost?
The two most common practical questions about unschooling are how much it costs and how much time it takes. Neither has a simple answer. One parent usually stops earning a full income. Some expenses disappear — uniforms, rain gear, processed food, school fees — while others appear: music lessons, sports equipment, a computer for a gamer. The budget shifts with the seasons. Cecilie Conrad, Sandra Dodd, and Sue Elvis talk about what it actually looks like to manage money and time as unschooling...

S3E10 | Unschooling and Learning Without Reading
Reading dominates how most people think about learning. Schools treat it as the first skill and the primary method. But children learn language, movement, culture, and complex ideas long before they read a word — and many things can never be learned from a book at all. Sandra Dodd, Cecilie Conrad, and Sue Elvis talk about what children and adults learn without reading: music by ear, cooking by doing, sports by playing, trades by apprenticeship. They discuss how Holly, who didn't read until 11...

S3E9 | The Efficiency of Unschooling
Schools spend enormous amounts of time on repetition, testing, classroom management, and re-teaching material year after year. Unschooling skips all of that. When a child learns something because they wanted to know it, it stays. There is no surface learning, no forgotten curriculum — just real knowledge built from curiosity and experience. Cecilie Conrad, Sandra Dodd, and Sue Elvis look at why unschooling turns out to be remarkably efficient, even though no one chooses it for that reason. Th...

S3E8 | Unschooling and the Benefits for Parents
Unschooling is often framed as a choice made for the children, but the changes run deeper than that. Over time, parents find themselves questioning inherited habits, rethinking authority, and arriving at a different relationship with their own values and daily choices. Cecilie Conrad, Sandra Dodd, and Sue Elvis talk about what it actually looks like when parents let go of the management mindset — the chore lists, the tick-box parenting, the idea that control equals care. They discuss how unsc...

S3E7 | Unschooling: Obsessions, Interests, and Letting Them Be - with Sandra Dodd, Cecilie Conrad and Sue Elvis
Intensity, repetition, and long stretches of focus are common in unschooling families. Interests may look narrow, obsessive, or unbalanced when viewed through school-based expectations—patterns that can trigger parental fear. Worries about outcomes, careers, balance, and future security shape how adults interpret a child’s focus, sometimes turning support into pressure or ownership. Cecilie Conrad, Sandra Dodd, and Sue Elvis describe a picture of unschooling where interests are allowed to ex...

S3E6 | A Typical Unschooling Day? - with Sandra Dodd, Cecilie Conrad and Sue Elvis
How does a typical day look in an unschooling family’s life? - This is one of the first questions people ask about unschooling. It often carries an unspoken hope for reassurance, structure, or a picture that makes the choice feel understandable. Cecilie Conrad, Sandra Dodd, and Sue Elvis approach the question from different lives and contexts, letting it stay open rather than pinning it down. Their perspectives point toward patterns, values, and rhythms instead of schedules. What emerges is a...

S3E5 | Unschooling and Learning Languages - with Sandra Dodd, Cecilie Conrad and Sue Elvis
Language keeps showing up in unschooling conversations: Parents ask about reading, writing, spelling, confidence, exposure, and whether children will “miss something” without lessons or requirements. Language can become the place where worries about competence, comparison, and readiness collect, especially for parents who did not enjoy language themselves. Underlying the whole conversation is a familiar unschooling question: What happens when language is learned through living, culture, play,...
