Today I have a great conversation with Katie Bryant, a Military wife who home schools her 4 children (and has one on the way!) They follow curriculums, learn latin, music and horse riding as the foundation of their education. They have a flexible but firm learning style. We also talk about the pressures of home ed and how to cope with the overwhelm.

There is some adult language in this episode, so it's probably best to pop in some ear buds or listen without little ears around. Today I speak to my good friend Tab all about her home educating journey. Tab has 5 children, only one of which is of school age at the moment - her 8 year old daughter. She has a mixed approach to learning, a hybrid of wild schooling, following the Steiner Waldorf curriculum, learning through play and intrinsic motivation.
