#74 Connection, understanding and creating our own paths, with Coralie Steadman in Cambridgeshire, UK
About this episode
My guest today is Coralie who lives in Cambridgeshire with her partner and two children who are 9 and 5. Coralie’s own experiences of school made her realise that life and learning need to feel meaningful and driven by our own unique passions and interests not by external requirements. That, coupled with her son’s diagnosis of Autism and PDA, led her family first to a Steiner school and then to unschooling. Coralie describes what unschooling looks like for her family, how they work together as a family to try to meet everyone’s needs, and what community looks like for them. And just to let you know that Coralie’s family dog is with us for the first ten minutes and giving his two cents in case you are wondering what the sound is. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
