When a major bullying incident proved to be the last straw, this mom from British Columbia took her daughter out of mainstream education and turned to “unschooling” for answers. Three years later, her daughter is thriving and is even running her own candle company.
Nine-year-old Lily Harper, who describes herself as a “minipreneur,” has shipped over 2,000 candles worldwide in 2022. She lives with her little sister, dad, and mom, 30-year-old hairstylist and homeschooler Chloe Greatrex, in the Canadian town of Surrey, Vancouver. The budding entrepreneur has already won a Youth in Leadership award from Vancouver’s A Woman of Worth.
