165. Struggling Reader? 3 Things We Do Every Week (Including a 190-Year-Old Reader)13 Oct 202600:24:30

Is your child a "good reader" who can't actually tell you what they just read? A distressed mama asked me in the comments how we handle struggling readers, so in Episode 165 I'm walking through the 3 things we do in our homeschool for reading comprehension:

1. Read-alouds — chosen by me, read purely for the joy of the story (no worksheets!)
2. Quiet Reading Time (QRT) — 30 minutes a day, at the level where your child can actually succeed, even if that means dropping back to Frog and Toad
3. The McGuffey Readers — the 190-year-old readers we use for oral reading, spelling, vocabulary, narration and comprehension questions in 10–15 minutes

I also share how my "best reader in the class" son broke down in tears over a chapter book, and what I learned about meeting kids where they are.

164. Have We Confused Schooling With Learning? with Dr. Pablo Riboldi06 Oct 202600:50:33

What happens when an instructional-science PhD decides grades and tests may be getting in the way of real learning?

Dr. Pablo Riboldi joins me to explain why he built a homeschool program without traditional grades or tests, why he returned to classical texts like Euclid's Elements, and why students should become responsible for their own education.

We talk about vintage textbooks, the flipped classroom, intellectual honesty, teaching children to think, and a radically different definition of what it means to be educated.

And if you've ever worried that you're not qualified to homeschool your children, stay until the end. His message to parents is one you need to hear.

162. What If It's Not Behavior? The OT Clues Parents Miss with Sarah Collins, OT15 Sep 202600:45:53

In this episode, I talk with pediatric occupational therapist and homeschool consultant Sarah Collins about the clues parents often see before they know what those clues mean.

We discuss sensory processing, handwriting and reading struggles, movement, interoception, proprioception, outdoor and risky play, occupational therapy, and how to tell when a child may need more than a different curriculum. Sarah also shares practical ways homeschool parents can observe their children, work with their strengths, build a support team, and recognize when the parent may need support too.

160. What About the Girls? A Path Beyond College with Rachel21 Aug 202600:48:55

As a second-generation homeschooler, she explored homemaking, business, herbology, doula work, midwifery, fitness, and lifelong learning before ultimately choosing motherhood and homeschooling.

158. Why we should NEVER stop reading aloud to children.11 Aug 202600:27:57

Why do families stop reading aloud once children learn to read for themselves?

In this episode, we make the case that we may be stopping far too soon.

We explore the history of reading aloud, oral recitation, Charles Dickens' public readings, the McGuffey Readers, and modern research on vocabulary, language development, story listening, and shared reading.

You'll also hear why reading aloud should complement—not replace—phonics and independent reading, how it can become a bridge into books children aren't ready to tackle alone, and why shared stories naturally lead to conversations about courage, loyalty, justice, sacrifice, forgiveness, and human nature.

Plus, you'll get practical read-aloud recommendations for children from preschool through the teenage years and simple advice for creating a family reading culture without turning every book into another school assignment.

Your child may be able to read the book alone.

But that doesn't necessarily mean you should stop reading it together.

What happens when a teenager knows college is not the answer—but has no idea what comes next?

149. The Learning and Recovery Cycle25 May 202600:11:35

Why do kids forget so much of what they learn—and why does school seem to make burnout worse instead of better?

In this episode, we break down the science behind how the brain actually learns, including the role of memory consolidation, rest, and recovery. Backed by research from experts like Matthew Walker and Andrew Huberman, this video explains why constant input without recovery leads to poor retention, frustration, and mental fatigue.

If you're a parent, homeschooler, or educator, this could completely change how you approach learning.

Discover:

  • Why kids forget what they study
  • The hidden role of rest in learning
  • How burnout is created in traditional education
  • A better rhythm for real understanding and retention

This isn't about doing more.
It's about finally doing what works.

146. From Frustration to Clarity in Special Needs Parenting | with Dawn Fleming-Kendall04 May 202600:48:03

For years, parents have been told to focus on managing behavior, following plans, and fixing their child's struggles. But what if that approach is missing the most important piece?

We talk about why true progress for special needs families starts with the parent—our mindset, our emotional health, and our ability to lead our homes with clarity and strength. Dawn shares practical resources, including life skills tools, IEP support, and a community built specifically for families walking this path.

If you've felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like nothing is really working long-term, this conversation is going to challenge you—but also give you a completely different way forward.

Prepare for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Peter Gray, an evolutionary psychologist and child development expert, as we journey through his research on self-directed learning and the crucial role of play in development and learning. Drawing from his personal experiences and groundbreaking research, Dr. Gray offers insights into the Sudbury Valley School's self-directed learning model and its potential to shape fulfilling lives.

We dig deep into how self-directed education morphs the lines between work and play, and its ripple effects on children's lives. The conversation gets crucial as we navigate the alarming ascendance of ADHD and the use of medication. Dr. Gray underscores the importance of play in counterbalancing these concerns and the potential long-term effects of these drugs. Shifting gears, we probe into the decline of play and children's freedom since the 1950s and the societal factors contributing to this disconcerting trend.

Bracing ourselves, we venture into the intimidating process of unschooling. Based on a study, we tackle how parents can conquer their fears and the scrutiny of others by finding a supportive community of like-minded individuals. As we wrap up, Dr. Gray leaves us with an inspiring message about the transformative power of free play in children's lives, reminding parents of the significant role they play. This episode is not just a conversation, it's a paradigm shift in understanding learning and play. Tune in and witness this shift.

145. The Truth about Dyslexia. Interview with Faye Bankler Casell--Dyslexia Therapist20 Apr 202600:53:57

What if dyslexia isn't actually a lifelong learning disability—but a solvable problem that's been misunderstood?

In this episode, I sit down with a certified dyslexia therapist to uncover what's really happening when children struggle to read. We dive into the science of reading, why so many kids are being misdiagnosed, and how traditional schooling methods may be creating the very problem they claim to fix.

144. Is High School Necessary or Is There a Better Way?13 Apr 202601:16:09

142. Stop Forcing, Start Observing: Unlocking Your Child's Genius with Zahra Lightway30 Mar 202601:17:31

School isn't built for how children actually learn. It often forces knowledge that doesn't stick, labels it 'education,' and leaves children feeling like they've failed simply because the system doesn't fit how their minds work. In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of the modern classroom. We discuss:

  The Mismatch: Why the current school structure ignores natural learning processes. 

  • The Labeling Trap: How testing and 'standards' miss a child's true identity and unique strengths.

  • The Breakthrough: What happens to a child's potential when you stop forcing and start observing.

It's time to stop asking why our kids aren't meeting the standard and start asking how we can build an environment where they can actually thrive.

141. What Happens When We Remove God from Education?23 Mar 202600:34:03

It is time we put God back. 

In this episode, I walk through my personal hypothesis, looking at the historical role of faith in education, the shift toward progressive ideologies, and what I see as the consequences in today's classrooms—rising illiteracy, behavioral issues, and a breakdown of values.

I also share examples from vintage curricula like McGuffey Readers, along with a fascinating behavioral study that highlights the impact of moral foundations on decision-making.

Whether you agree with me or not, my goal is to challenge you to think deeply about education, parenting, and what we are passing on to the next generation. And most importantly, to remind you that as homeschool parents, we have the opportunity to do something different.

140. The "Money Game" That Could Fix Financial Education with Lucy Taylor16 Mar 202600:37:10

Why do kids graduate from school knowing calculus… but not how money works?

In this episode, I talk with Lucy Taylor, a student entrepreneur at University of Austin, who is building an innovative platform called Aurum to teach financial literacy through gamification and AI.

Lucy began her entrepreneurial journey at just five years old selling eggs, and today she's developing what she calls a "flight simulator for personal finance." Instead of boring lectures or outdated personal finance classes, Aurum lets students practice managing money inside a simulated economy, helping them build real-world financial skills before the stakes are high.

In this conversation we discuss:

• Why most personal finance education fails students
• How entrepreneurship teaches kids responsibility with money
• The connection between math, optimization, and financial decision-making
• Why learning about money after getting credit cards or student loans is dangerous
• How AI and gamified learning could transform education

Lucy also shares simple ways parents can begin teaching financial literacy at home through real-life experiences, entrepreneurship, and everyday conversations about money.

If you're a homeschool parent, educator, or parent raising entrepreneurial kids, this episode will challenge the way you think about teaching money.

139. How to teach Critical Thinking through the Socratic Method09 Mar 202600:25:08

What if the most powerful way to teach your child isn't explaining—but asking better questions? In this we discuss how the Socratic Method can transform homeschooling conversations into powerful learning experiences. Instead of memorizing information or preparing for tests, children learn to think critically, analyze ideas, and defend their reasoning.

136. How to Get Teens to Talk09 Feb 202600:22:18

Getting teens to talk isn't about fixing their feelings—it's about creating emotional safety. In this episode, we talk about how parents can become a safe place for teens to open up, why advice often shuts conversations down, and how simple presence builds trust over time.

We explore:

  • Why availability matters more than schedules

  • How listening without fixing changes everything

  • Why side-by-side conversations work better than face-to-face

  • How personality and timing affect when kids open up

  • What Winnie-the-Pooh and Eeyore teach us about sitting with hard feelings

If you've ever wondered why your teen says "nothing" or "I'm fine," this conversation will help you understand what they may actually be asking for.

132. A Case for Cursive12 Jan 202600:19:18

We were told cursive was outdated. But the science says otherwise. In this episode, I make the research-backed case for why cursive isn't about pretty handwriting—it's about building better brains, stronger readers, and more focused learners.
