In this episode, we talk about the things that we liked about Classical education coming from our interview with Keren Chu of @raisingcovenantchildren. How it is about instilling virtue and wisdom to both the child and the parent, the flexibility in the books that you read, the more mature learner knowing when to let go and when to persevere, training your soul what to love, cultivation of habits, and remembering that there are objective truths and objective good.

In this episode, we talk about Classical Education with Keren Chu of @raisingcovenantchildren. She walks us through the history of Classical Education (which dates back from the great thinkers like Plato and Aristotle) to what modern educators of today do as they try to retrieve and renew this philosophy of education that gives emphasis on cultivating wisdom and virtue in our children and in the more mature studentsâthe parents. She gives us a peak into their day-to-day homeschooling journey and offers practical tips on how we can apply Classical Education at home. Join us as we discover this pedagogy that introduces us to the seven liberal arts and to what is true, good, and beautiful.

Listen to anecdotes of confident children who early on know their learning strengths and how parents can apply this theory at home.

In this episode, we talk about the things we and children observe and learn because of whatâs fleeting and ephemeral in nature and also the relationship we build with nature when we keep going back to it as something thatâs constant; how with nature we are hardened and healed at the same time; keeping the childâs wildness so he can contribute uniquely to the world and how nature always provides. Those and more as we process our Forest School interview with Sharon âShawieâ Cortez of @forestschoolph.

In this episode, we talk to Trix Clasara, an unschooling mom who courageously unschooled herselfâunlearning old beliefs, practices, judgments and making space for new learningsâto allow herself to fully and truly trust her children and herself. Here she gives us a glimpse of the beautiful life they have created for their family following the unschooling philosophy advocated by John Holt and answered the question what is a typical day like in an unschooling homeâdo they just go where the wind takes them?
In this insightful conversation, she reminds parents of the importance of being fully present when with your children, of introspection and asking yourself those difficult and uncomfortable questions; and doing things without any agenda among many others.

"The task of a Waldorf teacher is to teach the children to breathe and to sleep."
In this episode, Ginang Ira Tan, a Waldorf teacher, tells us more about this quote from Rudolf Steiner as she walks us through the magical world of a Steiner Waldorf education.
Here, she talks about the Head, Heart, Hand and the need for a healthy balance of In-Breath and Out-Breath in daily activities. We also talk about using stories and humor, imagination and fantasy, the Waldorf view on literacy and numeracy, and many more.

What is the one thing that shook us from our Reggio interview with Teacher Irene Theresa Mawo of Cascades International? Is it even possible to choose just one?
In this episode, we talk about how powerful documenting the self is as it allows you to understand yourself better and at the same time can also show you how your child sees you; how helpful it is to know the difference between provocation and invitation, defining community; and how in the same way that a child has a hundred languages, there is also a hundred ways of respecting a child.

What is provocation and how different is it from an invitation? How does direct prompting and indirect prompting look like in the Reggio Emilia approach?
In the 2nd and final part of our interview with Teacher Irene Theresa Mawo of Cascades International, she talks more about how documentation can help you understand your child better and provide you with new insights about them. She also walks us through how literacy and numeracy are taught in a Reggio Emilia space, and how open the approach is when it comes to diversity.
The Reggio Emilia approach--although it started in Reggio Emilia, Italy--is for every society and Teacher Irene talks about this in detail and leaves us inspired and hopeful for the future.
