021 – S1 E20 – How might we encourage children to meet their own needs and wants ahead of others’ expectations?

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Ana, an engineer, copywriter, and mom based in Brazil—about her early memories of being an enthusiastic learner and lover of storytelling. We talk about the challenges of living in patriarchal societies, share examples of trusted authorities abusing their power and privilege, and discuss why the path to a more equal society really starts with education in the family, at home. Check out our conversation, join our ongoing discourse on social media, and subscribe for more. https://www.instagram.com/homeroomed/ — Ana Paula is a mom of 3, and an engineer in transition to a copywriting career who loves cooking. https://www.instagram.com/anaziliotto_copy/ Rée is a visual storyteller and educator exploring the consequences that mass education has on creativity, identity, and interpersonal connection. https://www.instagram.com/theinterdisciplinarian/ — References Ways of Seeing by John Berger (book)
