Learning as a Family
This program seeks to provide clear and reasoned principles that help us make sense of how human beings actually learn. In understanding these principles we are better equipped to create a family environment that encourages learning and whose defining features are love, curiosity, and playfulness. This program also seeks to show that force, coercion and manipulation are counterproductive and not needed for real learning to occur. A further central aim is for this program to help you create an environment that fosters your child's autonomy in a healthy way and gives your children confidence and courage to engage in the world in a meaningful way as they grow.

W1S3 Am I Capable?
19m
We tend to worry that if we take up the responsibility that our children learn as opposed to outsourcing this to a school or curriculum, then that would mean that we have to become a super-human "fount of all knowledge".
