learning with littles: Julia's questions

send us a text via Fan Mail!My guest today is Julia, a listener with her fourth little one due anytime.  She asks really good questions!  We chat about learning in the early years with just young children, should we do a reading program when our child is already fluently reading and how to respond when moms start talking about what curriculum they use.  Julia also asks me how I got started on this particular journey of child led learning.  We talk about science with young kids, and working in art and music...and the big question...What do we do next??
