Episode One- What Should Education Look Like?
In this episode of Save Childhood, we dive into the heart of education—what it is, what it should be, and how to align it with children’s natural development. We challenge conventional wisdom and discuss practical ways to shift the conversation—and the system—toward a more child-centered approach. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that will shape your views on learning.
Episode Two - The Beauty of The Ordinary
In a world obsessed with constant stimulation, curated experiences, and the pressure to do more, we often overlook the quiet magic of everyday life. In this episode of Save Childhood, we explore why the simplest moments are not just nostalgic ideals but essential for a child’s well-being. Let’s celebrate the beauty of the unscheduled and the everyday magic that make life truly special.
