142: An Unschooler Talks About Life, Work and Dreams

This week, my teenage daughter Sophie (17) joins me to talk about:

• How she balances her busy unschooling life with work
• Why it's important to trust kids and not squash their ambitions
• Why she is choosing not to go to university
• Sophie's dream to be self-employed and how she plans to achieve it
• How a lot of people react when they hear Sophie is working full time in a cafe
• NaNoWriMo events and making friends
• How we need to believe in our kids and cheer them on
