Learning, Partnering and Parenting With Teens~Lainie Liberti

Did your homeschool see a major shift once your children became teens?

Or are you looking ahead as to how you can best navigate the teen years to come?

How to stay connected to your teen and support their positive mental health?

Lainie Liberti joined me on this episode to talk about Parenting and Partnering with our teens.

Lainie is a best selling author, international speaker, teen mentor,  worldschooler, partnership parenting paradigm advocate and mother. In 2012 Lainie co-founded Project World School with her son and has  lived in community with over a 100 teens in over 20 international locations. 

Lainie founded Transformative Mentoring for Teens in 2020 in response to the growing need to support teen’s mental health. Lainie just released her first book, Seen, Heard & Understood, Parenting and Partnering with Teens for Greater Mental Health. It is a number 1 best seller on Amazon in the Parenting New Releasees. Lainie is also a community leader and alternative education advocate. She is often credited with spearheading the thriving Worldschooling movement.

In This Episode

Lainie was one of the early worldschoolers that I followed many years ago. I asked her to share her story with listeners about how she and her son decided to reshape their life. How one conversation with her son took them from a busy  entrepreneurial life to Worldschooling mom and son duo. 

In this episode Lainie shares insights into their worldschooling journey, what it means to choose a life that reflects their values best and why they connected best with radical unschooling. 

She has me reflecting on my own parenting and practices around gentle parenting and unschooling. 

We explored:
