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

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

In Part 2, we talk about what Iris's expectations are of her kids' career choices, how to instrinsically motivate your kids, and how to apply an unschooling mindset if you're in public school. If you missed Part 1, we talked about unschooling definitions and impacts on happiness, Iris' family's unschooling journey, and what a typical day of unschooling looks like.
