Many people question the quality of education their children are receiving and wonder if they would be better off teaching their kids themselves. On today’s episode, we discuss how a non-traditional homeschooling system can be more effective in preparing children and teenagers for the adult world than any other type of schooling.

How do I create a high quality educational atmosphere at home?

How would my kids get the social interaction and street smarts they need to survive in the world?

Do I need any fancy technology to make this happen?

James and Beth Deppa welcome Jes and Reid Richardson, a couple with five children who have been homeschooling in an experimental way using wild curiosity, to delve into these important questions.

Not everyone is cut out for homeschooling, and that’s understandable, but 2020 is the perfect time to start questioning whether homeschooling can be a better route for you and your children, especially if they have ADHD or Asperger Syndrome. Tune into this week’s episode for incredible stories and examples of Jes and Reid’s radical education model, showing how studying global school systems changed their family’s lives for the better.

3 MAJOR POINTS DISCUSSED

●  Nurture the hearts and minds of children to inspire learning. Jes and Reid teach their children by fostering wild curiosity and answering every question their kids throw at them. Their home environment promotes self-respect, self-worthiness, emotional education, boundaries, consent, and interpersonal relationships. They don’t force education, they wait until their kids are ready and willing to learn. Jes and Reid offer great insight into how a non-traditional, experimental, and holistic schooling system really can provide children and teenagers with a higher quality education that properly prepares them for the adult world.

●  Kids need to experience technology. It’s 2020 and technology is unavoidable at this point, but it’s important to know which types of technology are the most ideal for an educational experience. From Minecraft to Adobe Creative Suite, Jes and Reid have mindfully incorporated technology to encourage learning in fun and creative ways. Are you aware of how your kids are using technology?

●  How do I get my kids to willingly help me around the house? “Life is so much more than getting a job,” Jes says. Jes and Reid love having real conversations with their children to foster emotional intelligence and to empower them to do things for themselves. If you stink, you can’t hang out around the family. If you eat off a plate, you clean the plate. It’s as simple as that. This results in the kids naturally becoming more capable of doing life tasks and willingly taking on more responsibilities as they get older. Children love being able to do things that adults can do, so why not raise them in a way that makes that possible?
