Customer Reviews
Invaluable
I am so grateful for this podcast. It has completely changed my life for the better in so many ways. The stories that have been shared have made me realise that I am not alone in how I think about children, parenting and life, even though my views differ from those around me. It has helped me find my way when there was no clear direction. I think this is an invaluable resource for parents on the unschooling journey and even for those who are simply open to hearing a new perspective on parenting.
Thank-you so much to Pam and all the guests for sharing your stories. My family and I are forever grateful.

Thank you so much Pam!!
