A Sunday morning ramble about the conversations I have had this week around our decision to home educate. Some musings on how it is similar to the questions I was asked when I 'went vegan' three years ago. Resource mentioned: https://starkravingdadblog.com - an excellent resource, go read and listen to Issy he is amazing

Reflections on our first three months of home educating. If you have any questions, suggestions for topics or feedback please let me know.

This episode explores my memories of growing up and how I found the UK education system in the 80s and 90s.  There are references to self-harm and some other heavier concepts, so I would urge caution if listening around young people. I always try to keep things family-friendly, but I need to cover specific themes to give the complete picture.  Thank you, as ever, for listening.

Hi everyone, thanks for coming back for more! This is just a short update after a few weeks of finding our way through this new way of life. Some resources mentioned in this episode: Changing Our Minds: How children can take control of their own learning by Dr. Naomi Fisher Tranquility Parenting by Brittany B Polat Rethinking Education by Dr. James Mannion - an awesome podcast and I would urge you to listen in particular to his conversation with Dr. Naomi Fisher.
