33. Unschooling and Untigering with Iris Chen (Pt. 1 of 2)

Did you grow up under an authoritarian parenting style and do you want to try something different with your kids? 

Or perhaps you want your children to have more confidence in their decision making skills, be independent thinkers and self driven?

If any of those ideas resonate, listen in on my conversation with Iris Chen, founder of the Untigering movement and author of Untigering, Peaceful Parenting for the Deconstructing Tiger Parent.

In addition to being an Untigerer, Iris is also an advocate for unschooling -- homeschooling that's completely student led and non-coercive -- the epitome of Untigering. 

In Part 1 we talk about unschooling definitions and impacts on happiness, Iris' family's unschooling journey, and what a typical day of unschooling looks like.

In Part 2 we talk about whether Iris has expectations of her kids' career choices, how to instrinsically motivate your kids, and how to apply an unschooling mindset if you're in public school.
