  In this episode, I talk with pediatric occupational therapist and homeschool consultant Sarah Collins about the clues parents often see before they know what those clues mean. We discuss sensory processing, handwriting and reading struggles, movement, interoception, proprioception, outdoor and risky play, occupational therapy, and how to tell when a child may need more than a different curriculum. Sarah also shares practical ways homeschool parents can observe their children, work with their strengths, build a support team, and recognize when the parent may need support too.

  158. Why we should NEVER stop reading aloud to children. 11.08.2026 27min

  Why do families stop reading aloud once children learn to read for themselves? In this episode, we make the case that we may be stopping far too soon. We explore the history of reading aloud, oral recitation, Charles Dickens' public readings, the McGuffey Readers, and modern research on vocabulary, language development, story listening, and shared reading. You'll also hear why reading aloud should complement—not replace—phonics and independent reading, how it can become a bridge into books children aren't ready to tackle alone, and why shared stories naturally lead to conversations about courage, loyalty, justice, sacrifice, forgiveness, and human nature. Plus, you'll get practical read-aloud recommendations for children from preschool through the teenage years and simple advice for creating a family reading culture without turning every book into another school assignment. Your child may be able to read the book alone. But that doesn't necessarily mean you should stop reading it together.

  149. The Learning and Recovery Cycle 25.05.2026 11min

  Why do kids forget so much of what they learn—and why does school seem to make burnout worse instead of better? In this episode, we break down the science behind how the brain actually learns, including the role of memory consolidation, rest, and recovery. Backed by research from experts like Matthew Walker and Andrew Huberman, this video explains why constant input without recovery leads to poor retention, frustration, and mental fatigue. If you're a parent, homeschooler, or educator, this could completely change how you approach learning. Discover: Why kids forget what they study The hidden role of rest in learning How burnout is created in traditional education A better rhythm for real understanding and retention This isn't about doing more. It's about finally doing what works.
