Unschooling[edit]
Martin is an advocate of "radical unschooling", which she describes as "an evolution of our understanding about learning and the rights and respect of children."[1] Martin founded Unschooling United,[2] an international parent-to-parent education and support organization that connects volunteer facilitators with unschooling families. It's not currently active.[citation needed]
In 2007, Martin and her husband appeared on the Dr. Phil Show.[3] While on the show, Martin outlined her views on unschooling:
| “ | Learning is the goal all the time. They learn 24/7. They learn all day, every day. It’s kind of a belief in how children learn. It’s the belief that children learn when they’re internally motivated, as opposed to somebody else’s agenda. Education is not the goal of unschooling.[4] | ” |
In January 2013, Martin and her son Devin appeared on The Jeff Probst Show.[5] In April 2013, Martin and her family appeared on Wife Swap.[citation needed]
Babywearing[edit]
In 2005, Martin founded the Babywearing Project,[6] a community outreach program designed to educate new parents about the benefits of babywearing and to provide free baby carriers to financially challenged families. There are similar projects founded under the same name.[citation needed]
