E69 Is Alternative Schooling the Right C...

Katie Farinas
About this episode

In this episode, I speak with Efrat Amira, mother of three, a parenting coach, and the host of the Alternative parenting podcast. Efrat is a lifelong learner, she brings a new perspective to parenting and education by continually asking questions about societal norms, and encouraging each person to follow their own intuition and inner guidance.

In this episode, we explore alternative schooling and discuss whether it’s the right fit for your child’s education. With more families seeking flexible and non-traditional education models, we break down different types of alternative education like homeschooling, unschooling, Montessori, and Waldorf.

Key topics we cover include:

  • What alternative schooling is and the most common methods
  • How personalized learning in alternative education helps foster creativity, independence, and a love for learning
  • Common myths about alternative schooling and how to address concerns
  • How to determine if alternative education is the right fit for your child’s learning style and your family’s values
  • Steps for transitioning to a non-traditional education model

This episode is perfect for parents who are looking for innovative education options and want to give their children the best chance to thrive in a flexible learning environment. We share expert advice, insights, and resources to help you make the right decision for your child’s future.
