When I left the classroom after a decade of teachi When I left the classroom after a decade of teaching high school, I was trying to understand why so many bright, capable kids seemed to lose a little bit of themselves as they got older.That search led me to five questions I wish every parent asked—regardless of whether your child goes to public school, private school, or homeschool.They are questions that help you become more intentional about the childhood you’re creating.If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “Is this really the best we can do?” this guide is for you.Comment COMPASS and I’ll send it your way.
We spend a lot of time talking about what children We spend a lot of time talking about what children are learning.I think we spend far less time asking how they learn to see themselves as learners.If children come to believe that learning only happens when an adult assigns it, grades it, or tells them it’s important, we’ve unintentionally made curiosity dependent on permission.The goal isn’t to raise children who wait to be taught.It’s to raise children who notice, question, explore, and keep learning long after school is over.👇 AGSUB to join my community of parents rethinking childhood and education.
One of my favorite ways to encourage critical thin One of my favorite ways to encourage critical thinking is through stories.The best books invite them to ask questions and think deeply about big ideas.After you finish reading, don’t rush to close the book.Ask what they noticed. Ask what surprised them. Ask whether they would have made the same choice as the characters.Some of the best conversations happen after the last page.👇 AGSUB to join my community for more book recommendations, parenting insights, and ideas for raising curious kids.
👇 Comment AGSUB and I’ll send you an invitation. 👇 Comment AGSUB and I’ll send you an invitation.I created this community because parenting today can feel noisy.If you’re looking for thoughtful conversations about childhood, education, screens, and raising kids who are curious, capable, and ready for the real world, I’d love to have you join us.It’s one of my favorite corners of the internet.
The future belongs to people who know how to think The future belongs to people who know how to think, adapt, collaborate, and keep learning.That’s why I’m less focused on teaching my kids what to memorize and much more intentional about creating opportunities for them to practice the skills that technology can’t replace.One thing I love about @outschool is that my kids get to explore subjects they’re genuinely excited about while building confidence, communication skills, and curiosity alongside other learners.Those are the kinds of experiences that prepare kids for a world none of us can fully predict.Use the code GALLO50 to save $50 on classes.#outschoolinsider #homeschooling #raisingthinkers
