Mei Ling lives in London with her husband and two daughters who are 13 and 10 and who have always been unschooled.

Mei Ling came across the idea of unschooling when her oldest was still a baby and it just felt like a natural fit with how she and her husband wanted to raise their children.

We talk about what all this looks like and, of course, all the unlearning that we have to do.
