About this listen
Radical Unschooling is a progressive parenting philosophy, which includes children learning at home. It is different from homeschooling in that children are not forced to follow curriculum lessons and tests. Radical Unschooling philosophy focuses on trust of a child's innate ability to learn without coercion and invites children to explore their passions. The parent's role is to facilitate their interests and curiosity. Radical Unschooling - the book - focuses also on the evolutionary aspect of parenting and human consciousness. We are parenting and educating our children today to succeed in a joyful, productive life by following their passions, not someone else's agenda.
The main presentations are:
- School is only one of many choices for our children in our technologically advanced world
- Forced learning isn't effective and causes more damage than formerly thought
- Respecting a child's choice and autonomy is an evolution of understanding and birth right of every human
- Learning and life are not separate. Learning is pleasurable if it is not forced on us
- Separating life into subjects isn't necessary or natural
- Humans learn from all that they do and experience in life, not just what our culture deems ''educational''
The main focus of parenting today is obedience and meeting the needs of the parent. This has to change if we want our children to live in a peaceful world. Moreover, Radical Unschooling is just radical enough to herald a wake up call to our culture because of the truth the philosophy speaks.

A good book to expend your unschooling knowledge
This is a radical book. I find it hard to agree with all the concept of radical unschooling. I would have liked the author to give more examples. Each concept is often backed by only one example while I would have appreciated the examples of several families.

Inspiring
Thank you Dayna, this was very inspiring. This audiobook touches on much more than just 'unschooling', including life philosophy, parenting and improving your relationship with your partner.
I found all these topics useful, particularly the part about improving communication with your partner when you are starting to follow a path that is unknown to the other, this does take time in practice.
Dayna is also a follower of the motivational speakers / authors Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer which is clear throughout the book.
My daughter is currently in school but this audiobook has given me further courage and confidence to take the step to unschool when the time feels right. I am looking forward to the summer holidays when we can live that lifestyle.
This is a great self help book for any free spirited, gentle parent!

Fantastic book.
This book is so inspiring. It's full of positive advice on how to start unschooling. After listening to this I wish the author all the luck in being an advocate for this movement. I hope in the future this will be the way for our beautiful children, for they are so important and our
f uture.

A load of drivel.
There are plenty of informative books on this topic but this isn't one of them. It reads like a blog and granted what she had to say is very interesting. I was intrigued to know the story of the author and so I googled her. But I really I wish I hadn't! It's a strange twighlight zone type place. Don't waste your time. Just listen to something by John Holt.

Robotic narration, Privileged viewpoint
The narration made it hard to get into this book so I only listened to the first 3 chapters but my main issue with this book is the authors extremely privileged lifestyle and how this may lead to many listeners believing they are unfit to unschool unless they have A LOT of money. You don't need acres of land, 5 TV's and 4 computers to unschool your children and I don't feel like the author made this clear. If anything she makes unschooling sound completely unattainable for the average family, without seeming to even realise that not everyone has what she has. Maybe later in the book she does reflect on her privilege/wealth and i just didn't get that far but i don't feel like listing off all the luxuries you have that facilitate your child's learning in the very first chapter paints unschooling in a very attainable light. Disappointing.
