This week, I'm chatting with my teenage daughter Sophie.

We start with these conversation prompts:

  • Something we've been thinking about
  • Something we've found difficult
  • Something we've enjoyed
  • Something we've read or listened to
  • Something we've watched

And we end up talking about:

  • Why making rules can be dangerous
  • Balancing work, passions, and taking care of ourselves
  • How unschooling isn’t about drifting aimlessly through the day
  • An easy way to keep a journal
  • Intentionally seeking joy in our lives
  • Becoming happier and more positive people
  • How we can all make a difference to other people’s days
  • Resisting the temptation to check apps and waste time
  • Creativity
  • Growing and developing as people
