Ep. 42 Raising Critical Thinkers with Julie Bogart
Episode description
Julie Bogart is an author, podcaster, mother of 5 children, and the founder of Brave Writer, which has been supporting, encouraging, and inspiring homeschool families for years!
I have been following Julie’s work for a long time and find myself regularly impressed with her level-headed approach to learning, parenting, and thinking. And I'm so glad we got to talk about all these things plus her wonderful book, Raising Critical Thinkers: A Parent's Guide to Growing Wise Kids in the Digital Age.
In this episode we discuss:
- Julie's upbringing, school experiences, and how the Internet has changed since she was raising kids
- how homeschooling became a part of her life
- listening to our kids and embracing their dissent
- considerations for technology use, algorithms, and being online
- how the different generations view authority
- the lens (and levels) to learning and mastery: Reading, Experiencing, and Encountering
- paying attention to our attachment to certainty
- considerations for making decisions
- how school taught us to believe in "one" right answer
- and more!
I hope you'll tune into this fabulous episode and let us know what resonated with you.
