Are You a Curious Unschooler? [Podcast]

I recorded a new podcast episode! That might surprise you because it’s been quite a while since my last episode. I’ve become a bit of an unreliable podcaster. But, hopefully, that’s about to change: I’m planning to record a new series of episodes.

Each episode will be based on a blog post. I’ll be telling a story and then chatting about its main points. Sharing some unschooling thoughts and ideas and maybe a few resources as well.

I hope you like this idea. Maybe you’ll stop by and let me know what you think after listening to this week’s offering?

Episode 130 of my podcast is called Are You a Curious Unschooler?

I’m discussing the following questions:

  • Is everyone curious?
  • Or can we lose our curiosity?
  • Can we strew verbally?
  • Do we have to be good examples of learning for our kids?
  • Does our curiosity make homeschool recordkeeping easier?
  • How can we unschool and also be registered homeschoolers?

  1. I would consider myself a curious person too, interested in learning about just about everything! Why aren’t people more curious? I think the business and difficulties of the everyday world can squash a person’s curiousity. But I also feel that I have always been more curious than the average person. I don’t know why. My mom had a lot of interesting books and learning activities for us growing up. She was always willing to talk with us and answer questions, so I’m sure that helped. I love how you learn alongside your girls. I do think that is important.

    • Venisa,

      It sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your mother. Yes, being involved with our kids, answering questions and learning alongside them is very important. It sounds like you’re passing on to your children what your mother gave to you.

      Thanks for stopping by!
