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 unschooling reshapes the couple's relationship, how personality traits show up across generations, and how following a child's interests opens doors parents would never have walked through on their own. The conversation covers the fear at the beginning, the patience required, and the slow process of becoming a different kind of parent — not by studying, but by doing it.🔗 Sandra, Sue and Cecilie's websiteshttps://sandradodd.com https://storiesofanunschoolingfamily.com https://cecilieconrad.com🗓️ Recorded September 18, 2025. 📍  Åmarksgård, Lille Skendsved, DenmarkSend a message Support the showIn season 3 of Ladies Fixing the World, host Cecilie Conrad is joined by longtime unschooling voices Sandra Dodd and Sue Elvis to explore unschooling as a lifestyle.
