We’re recording in person again! It’s so much more fun chatting whilst sitting on the same sofa rather than in separate houses. So, we hope our enthusiasm for a subject which can cause consternation comes across today. Make yourself a cuppa and join us as we talk through how we’ve explored science in our homes, from toddlers and mess through to teens and iGCSEs.

Mended Teacups Season 5

Science in Home Education

What do you reckon are the top ten most asked home ed questions? It would be interesting to do a poll. However, queries around the socialisation of our children must be right up there at the top. 

In the third chapter of "Another Way to Learn?", Juliet English dives straight into this topic. A social worker by training, Juliet is a mother of seven, grandmother, foster mum, director of Streams and co-ordinator of the Learn Free conference. She is a woman of extraordinary capacity and great depth of wisdom and experience. There could not be a better placed home educator to talk us through this hot potato of socialisation. Listen in as we consider the topic, connect with Juliet via the links below and get hold of a copy of “Another Way to Learn?”. It’s available from our website or any other book retailer or from your library. You could also join up with a few other home educators in your local area and form a book club to read it together.
