#104 Trusting in the teen years, with Munira Adenwalla in London

from The Unschool Space · host Esther Jones

In this episode I am chatting with Munira Adenwalla, who is an occupational therapist and lives in London with her 14-year-old son. Munira realised when her son was young that school would not be a good fit for him. We talk about how our school conditioning runs deep and the worries that can come when we step away from it. And Munira tells us what unschooling looks like for her son, and how in hindsight she can see how his particular path has unfolded as he has followed his interests. We also talk about why unschooling allows neurodivergent children far more space to understand themselves and to forge a path that feels right for them. Connect with MuniraFB page: https://www.facebook.com/ot4kidswithmuniraParents' FB Group: www.facebook.com/groups/helpingkidswriteWebsite: https://www.ot4kids.co.ukIf you'd like to support the podcast and the sharing of these stories, you can do that here.   Thank you!The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself.
