Shaking Parenting Podcast

In this episode, we talk to Trix Clasara, an unschooling mom who courageously unschooled herself—unlearning old beliefs, practices, judgments and making space for new learnings—to 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 home—do 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.

In this processing episode, we talk about our new learnings and discoveries about Waldorf coming from our interview with Ginang Ira of Sisidlan Institute. The value of humor, the power of stories, the idea of whole to part, unhurried childhood, looking at the child holistically, respecting the child's organic and natural self, and allowing the child's imagination to flourish.

"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. She also reminds us that what our children want in the depths of their being is a relationship with our authentic self and the importance of laughing at least once a day.

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.

Teacher Irene Theresa Mawo of Cascades International School joins us in this episode and tells us more about the Reggio Emilia approach. She gives us practical tips on how we can incorporate Reggio at home and reminds us to keep that home-y vibe in our child's learning space. She also talks about Reggio concepts like the environment as the third teacher, documentation, and seeing the child as capable and equal to us--so much so that they are always included in planning out and making sure that discipline is in place in the community they have built. All these and more in this 1st half of a 2-part interview.
