21 OCT 2024 · In this conversation there is an emphasis on the importance of having a vision for the child and for the family. We explore how understanding and nurturing a child's inherent gifts can help in parenting rather than just reacting to behaviour. Kerrin shares practical examples, such as using quiet time to teach self-regulation, and involving the family in defining and working towards shared values. We also discuss the significance of observing and supporting a child's development without immediately reacting to challenges. Our conversation highlights the balance between correcting undesirable behaviour and guiding a child's gifts in a positive direction.
30 SEP 2024 · A conversation with Juliet English. Juliet is wife to Larry, mum to 7 amazing young people, and more recently a foster carer. Juliet started out working as a social worker, but made the decision to become a stay-at-home mum in 1993, with three little ones at home. The decision to home educate was made in 1998 when the family were still living in South Africa, and they soon became part of a thriving and friendly home ed community. They continued home educating after moving to the UK in 2007, and are still home educating their youngest through his A-levels. Juliet continues to be very involved in the home educating community and has run successful home ed groups in 3 cities, co-ordinates the Learn Free Home Educators Conference annually (May) in the UK, and speaks and writes about all things home ed. Juliet is passionate about home education and is engaged in national and global initiatives to promote home education as a legal right and valid option. She loves supporting and encouraging other parents who choose this educational route for their children, and believes home education has the potential to change the lives of children and their families.

24 JUL 2024 · Sandra Dodd has long been a key influencer in unschooling methodology and philosophy. For many, many years she has given wise, compassionate advice to people who would like to follow a different way in educating their children. I am one of them.
Sandra's enthusiasm for life is infectious. Her curiosity; her childlike joy in minute details; her breadth and depth of knowledge on all sorts of subjects; and her astonishing and often hilarious ability to see and make connections between seemingly unconnected things combine to make her the best advocate of unschooling I know. Because she lives it.
Sandra's https://www.sandradodd.com is an Alladin's cave of information. Make yourself a cup of coffee and leave plenty of time for exploration, because you will be there for a while.
In this episode I asked Sandra to tell us more about 'Learn Nothing Day', which just happens also to be her birthday, 24 July. Our conversation progressed from there.

22 JUL 2024 · My Daughter Kerrin Butterworth was home educated and is now home educating her own children. Recently she and I had an interesting conversation about attachment parenting, building resilience in children, and taking care of ourselves so that we can care for our children from a place of strength. This conversation is shared here. Her young children were playing nearby, but I felt it was worth sharing in spite of the occasional background noise.
