Ep 146: Let The Kids Guide What They Want To Learn ft Julia, Nadine, Murielle

Today, I'm delighted to have not one, not two, but THREE amazing European guests in the studio for this week's episode. Julia Arens and Nadine Von Ahsen from Germany, and Murielle Misczak from Switzerland all with Kinderhaus Brooklyn joined us to discuss their unique perspectives on cults (don't judge me, a combination of documentaries plus personal experiences was what my interpretation was based on lol) and children's education.

It was a wonderfully enlightening experience to hear how their different upbringings shaped their views. Nadine shared her experience of how her name was popular in Germany during the 80s and 90s and that Germans don't typically have middle names. (Now I'm sid-eyeing every German with a middle name) Julia clarified that she and the previous guest Zou Diallo were not actually married, whoops sorry Julia and Zou! A couple of cute stories about names in this episode.

We had a great time bouncing from Switzerland to Germany to Troy Illinois and Brooklyn NY. It was heartwarming to hear these three women from different countries and backgrounds share their common interests in children's education and the methods used at Kinderhaus. As old listeners of the show already know, I have been attracted to a holistic education for children way before I began podcasting and even before becoming a parent. So this was a long overdue episode. There's definitely more to explore on this topic as I keep running into fellow immigrants who are also interested and would love to see how the educational systems from their places of birth could benefit from such an approach.

It would be so great to have them back for another episode to talk more about their individual approaches to nurturing children and their unique methods of education. And of course, we must take time to celebrate the victory of a German recognizing Mambo No 5 as their own!
