Practical prompts and reflection questions: No heady explanatons.. No overwhelm. Just grounded tools that help you pause, notice, and shift in the exact moment your old patterns kick in.
Hands-on guidance for everyday connection: Real examples. Real language. Support for those moments — at home or in youth-centered spaces — when you want to show up differently but your nervous system pulls you back toward control.
A compassionate approach to communication, trust, and repair: For the parent who wants to stop yelling. For the educator who’s tired of being the enforcer. For the adult who knows compliance isn’t connection and is learning another way.
How we show up matters more than anything we say.
Create relationships rooted in safety, respect, and presence. These six keys help you show up with more honesty, tenderness, and courage.

For the parent who whispers, “I want to do this differently, but I don’t know how.” For the educator who feels the weight of systems and wants to lead with heart. For the adult who freezes, spirals, or falls back on control when things get hard. Nothing is too late. Trust can be rebuilt. Repair is the relationship. 6 Keys will help you return to what matters most: - connection over control, - curiosity over compliance, - presence over perfection.
Connection is an art — one we’re all still learning.

About the Creators
Radical Learning was founded by Sari González and Becka Koritz, facilitators, unschooling mamas of neurodivergent young people, and co-hosts of the Radical Learning Talks podcast. With over 35 years of combined experience, they support parents and educators who are questioning conventional schooling — as well as those already deep in the unschooling journey — to move from fear and control toward trust, consent, and shared power. Through Parent Support Circles, online courses, Deeply Deschooling, immersive trainings, and the Radical Learning Talks podcast, they create spaces where adults can shed internalized school conditioning, rebuild trust in young people’s autonomy, and learn to live their values in everyday life.
