Living outside the box: Unapologetically unstandardised
HEIDI STEEL
It can be challenging not to follow conventional norms, but embracing non-traditional paths to education and parenting is also liberating!

Heidi Steel is the founder of Live Play Learn, providing resources and community for unschooling families. With over 15 years of hands-on experience as a home-educating, unschooling parent of four, Heidi shares a practical, down-to-earth approach to child-centred learning. Heidiā€™s work is rooted in the belief that children learn best when they are trusted and given the space to follow their natural curiosity. She helps parents step away from traditional education systems, offering guidance and reassurance to create learning environments that truly work for their families. Through her writing, workshops, speaking events and podcast, Heidi encourages parents to see education as a journey to be shared; one that builds connection, trust, and a lifelong love of learning. When sheā€™s not speaking or writing, youā€™ll often find Heidi drinking tea, knitting something full of errors and embracing the small joys of everyday life alongside her children.
