Learning Side By Side
Art of Homeschooling Podcast
01/13/25 • 13 min
EP213: Imagine a homeschooling journey where learning side by side builds your child’s capacity to learn and ignites a love of lifelong learning at the same time.
That’s what we’re getting into on the podcast this week!
Jean shares three stories from homeschooling mums just like you who discovered their passions through U.S. history, world history, and science.
As a homeschooler, you are not solely responsible for imparting all the knowledge your children need to know about the world.
When you create shared experiences that model deep learning, your children will develop the capacity to learn and the curiosity to explore.
And this is what it’s all about!

EP194: Does your homeschooling journey feel like it's all go, go, go? In this episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast, Jean shares a transformative idea that might be the very key to unlocking deeper learning for your children: the art of letting learning rest. Drawing from the experiences and insights from the annual Taproot Teacher Training, Jean explains how integrating periods of rest into your teaching schedule can lead to more meaningful and lasting educational outcomes. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner's lesson rhythm, this episode uncovers why it's vital to allow children time to absorb and process new concepts and why stepping back could actually propel your child's learning forward. Listen for examples you've probably experienced before. Plus three phrases you can say to yourself to help you remember the importance of letting the learning rest.
