Ep.58 When Should I Start Unschooling ft Marea Parsons
Welcome back. This week, I invited Marea Parsons, the Founder of Homeschool Revival, to the show to discuss when parents should consider unschooling. Marea is a native of South Carolina and she's wonderful wife and homeschool mother to four children. Marea partners with homeschool families to nurture bold believers and help families create a Christ-centered homeschool experience, through her work at Homeschool Revival.
Marea believes that all parents should learn to mix play-based and interest-led learning while focusing on their children's God-given gifts and talents.
