Why It's Important to Allow Kids to Follow Their Interests and Passions

After my recent series of short unschooling blog post story podcasts, I now have a longer episode. It’s jam-packed full of thoughts, ideas and news!

In episode 116, I’m discussing the following questions:

  • Does planning have any place in unschooling?

  • Can we make attractive planners using Evernote?

  • Will I continue my Evernote workshop series?

  • How does balance fit into an unschooling life?

  • Why is it very important that we let our kids follow their passions and interests?

  • Is it okay to acknowledge our kids’ talents?

  • Can we praise our kids?

  • Are we obliged to develop and use our own talents?

  • Can reality, lifestyle and documentary TV series provide us with lots of wonderful learning experiences?

  • How do we make homeschool record notes about TV shows we’ve watched?
