RLL 12: What About Relaxed and Interest-Led Homeschooling for Gifted Kids? | A Listener Question
Angie worries that she’s not doing enought to challenge her gifted kids because of something a well-meaning pedatrician said to her at a well-visit. Her family enjoys a relaxed and interest-driven, self-directed type of homeschool environment, but she’s concerned that it’s not enough for the kids and that her doctor is right — that they’ll struggle with underachievement and problem behaviors as they grow.
I share my thoughts in today’s episode, but would love to hear yours, too. Scroll down to the comments section and tell us what YOU think about self-directed learning! We’re all better together.
