Let ‘em go Barefoot

Ep. 42 Raising Critical Thinkers with Julie Bogart

Listen Later

Julie Bogart is an author, podcaster, mother of 5 children, and the founder of Brave Writer, which has been supporting, encouraging, and inspiring homeschool families for years!

I have been following Julie’s work for a long time and find myself regularly impressed with her level-headed approach to learning, parenting, and thinking. And I'm so glad we got to talk about all these things plus her wonderful book, Raising Critical Thinkers: A Parent's Guide to Growing Wise Kids in the Digital Age.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Julie's upbringing, school experiences, and how the Internet has changed since she was raising kids
  • how homeschooling became a part of her life
  • listening to our kids and embracing their dissent
  • considerations for technology use, algorithms, and being online
  • how the different generations view authority
  • the lens (and levels) to learning and mastery: Reading, Experiencing, and Encountering
  • paying attention to our attachment to certainty
  • considerations for making decisions
  • how school taught us to believe in "one" right answer
  • and more!

    • I hope you'll tune into this fabulous episode and let us know what resonated with you.
