In this episode, I'm talking to Peter Gray, yes, you read this right - I couldn't believe it myself.

You don't want to miss this episode, because Peter shares many tips on how to be a more relaxed unschooling parent/educational coach. Because, I guess, most of us has been there: challenging the status quo is not always easy. But if you feel like it's the right thing to do, you're not alone - and you might enjoy this discussion.

Peter shares many insights from his research and studies, and for all the parents of gaming-loving-kids out there: gaming is just fine ;) don't worry too much. And (last "and"), as many of you asked me, "how do I even start unschooling", we deep dive into that as well - here a little sneak peek:

"But consider what children learned during that time. They acquired mastery over their native language, becoming proficient speakers. They gained insights into psychology, understanding how to both please and annoy their parents and others. They developed the skill of making friends and forged meaningful connections. They absorbed a wealth of knowledge about the physical world that surrounded them. Their insatiable curiosity and unbridled play led to extensive learning experiences. I once asserted that a significant portion of a person's lifelong knowledge is acquired before they even step into a school. If there is evidence for self-directed education beyond this, I am unaware of it. Anyone with open eyes who has observed a child's development in this manner should be able to recognize it.

Now, some individuals believe, and I've even encountered claims in developmental psychology textbooks, that this phenomenon is suitable only for young children. They argue that around the age of five or six, curiosity tends to wane, and play shifts in nature. To this, I respond, isn't it intriguing that this transformation coincides with the commencement of formal schooling? What if children didn't embark on their educational journey in a traditional school setting?"
