The Wild and Curious Podcast

On Structure and Flow in Interest-led Learning

In this episode, I share what homeschooling looks like for us — not as “school at home,” but as a natural, interest-led way of learning through everyday life. I talk about the balance between structure and flow, and how I plan gentle activities that inspire my kids while still leaving plenty of room for curiosity, connection, and spontaneity.

I share a peek into our week — a day at the park with friends, conversations and play, a slow home day filled with reading, building a wooden 3D puzzle, and enjoying the late September sun.

It’s a reflection on how learning happens naturally when we follow our children’s interests and trust the process — whether through play, books, nature, or simple family rhythms.

If you’re interested in unschooling, relaxed homeschooling, or gentle parenting, this episode offers a calm reminder that education doesn’t have to be forced. It can grow beautifully out of the life you’re already living.
