How Curious Unschooled Kids Learn

3 July 2020

The big question is this: will I be awake at 1 am tomorrow (AEST)? Will I join the first live session of my Homeschooling Global Summit interview?

Earlier today, I received a Summit email that included these words:

If you are available for any of your two sessions, we would love to have you come and join us to chat and engage with the audience. 

Two sessions? Yes, my interview will be streamed again with another live chat session at 9 am (AEST). Nine o’clock in the morning is easy. I’m definitely joining the audience who will be watching my HGS interview at that time. I’ll be online to join in with the discussion and answer questions. It’s short notice, but if you read this in time, please register and join me in a few hours’ time to watch my interview video.

If you miss the 1 am and 9 am sessions, all is not lost. If you’d like to see my interview, it will be available to watch at any time after its initial screenings.


In this week’s podcast, episode 176, I’m sharing a bit of info about the Homeschooling Global Summit interviews, including my one, before I get onto the main topic of the day: how children learn.

This week, I’m continuing my new podcast series based on Curious Unschoolers. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some stories from my book, pairing them with similar stories from this blog. I’ll also be commenting on each story, adding some extra thoughts.

So, here are the details of this week’s podcast episode:
