QUOTE OF THE DAY
“We can best help children learn, not by deciding what we think they should learn and thinking of ingenious ways to teach it to them, but by making the world, as far as we can, accessible to them, paying serious attention to what they do, answering their questions -- if they have any -- and helping them explore the things they are most interested in.” ~ John Holt

So good
So related so down to earth and so fun! I feel like I’m listening to friends chat and learning along the way :)
Need/love this, worth every minute!
I mean this is worth all the minutes of tune in time! I love my earbuds even MORE because they bring me YOU in my head!! Will be listening indefinitely!
Love them!
I’ve just recently gotten into podcasts and spent a whole day searching for podcasts that resonated with me. By far, this podcast is most applicable to my life! I love the discussions and that it doesn’t seem too scripted. It sounds like I’m just listening in on an honest conversation that I get so mich useful information from. Thank you for taking the time to make the episodes! Keep it up.
