157: Fearing Our Kids Will Fail
Friday Jul 19, 2019
Friday Jul 19, 2019
This week, I'm discussing the following questions:
Do things sometimes seem like they'll never change?
Is 'grinned' a fabulous word?
Do we notice and worry about things that relate to ourselves that others don't notice?
Do our fears for our kids get in the way of encouraging them to do the things they enjoy?
Can our fears deprive our kids of joy?
Is failing really a big deal?
What's my latest unschooling book idea?
Where are we going when we take unschooling on the road?
Does encouragement work both ways?
I'm also sharing the story Fearing Our Kids Will Fail from my book Curious Unschoolers.

Sunday Jul 07, 2019
Sunday Jul 07, 2019
This week, I'm sharing and discussing the story, Another Way of Looking at Our Kids' Learning.
I talk about my teenager's morning:
What Gemma-Rose did
How I could record that learning in terms of school subjects
And how I could think about her learning in another way
I also talk about the importance of play for both children and adults.
And I share a couple of podcast reviews that I was thrilled to receive. A big thank you to The Simple living Mom and Home Ed Fam!!
