    Raising Lifelong Learners

    Raising Lifelong Learners is the podcast for parents raising and homeschooling neurodivergent kids—including gifted, twice-exceptional (2e), ADHD, autistic, anxious, and otherwise differently wired children.

    Hosted by gifted specialist, author, and longtime homeschool mom Colleen Kessler, each episode helps you better understand the child in front of you and create a homeschool and family life that works with their unique brain—not against it.

    You’ll find practical, compassionate support for homeschooling, executive function, anxiety, emotional regulation, motivation, intensity, giftedness, twice-exceptionality, and the everyday challenges of raising neurodivergent kids.

    Because your child doesn’t need to fit someone else’s version of learning, parenting, or success. And you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

    RLL #48: [Audioblog] What is an Intense Child? May 29, 2019
    Show notes

    If you have an intense child, you probably know it. Call them spirited, emotionally intense, difficult, high needs, or challenging…it doesn't matter.

    You know them and you're tired. And defeated. And sure you're doing everything all wrong because those parenting books other parents swear by just don't work for you.

    The intense child is more – more emotional, more energetic, more sensitive, more empathetic, more focused, more distracted, more, more, more – than other children.

    RLL #43: Getting Your Kids Outside with Justin Wren Feb 19, 2019
    Show notes

    Sometimes it seems difficult to get our kids outside when all they want to do is lounge around inside the house.

    RLL #41: Homeschooling "Fringy Kids" with Heather Boorman Feb 05, 2019
    Show notes

    RLL #40: Self-Directed Homeschooling High School with Trevor Kessler Jan 29, 2019
    Show notes

    There are so many homeschooling moms that start to worry as their kids get into middle school and high school that what they've done up until this point isn't enough. Or that they're missing big pieces of learning, content, or skills that they should have been teaching all along.

    Today, Colleen talks with her sixteen year old son, Trevor, about some of his experiences so far, and gets his insights about homeschooling, self directed education, hope, and more. You're not going to want to miss this episode, particularly if you've got budding high schoolers of your own!


    RLL #39: Trusting Your Childs Lead with Sara Hall Jan 22, 2019
    Show notes

    It can be scary to homeschool an outside-the-box learner. Differently-wired kids beat to the tune of their own drummers, and that can be problematic when we go into it with a set expectation for how things will be. It is hard to trust our kids AND ourselves with this totally alternate path to education... In today's conversation, Colleen and Sara Hall chat about just that.

    How it's not our job to fit our kids into a box. It's our job to help them see how amazing their out-of-the box thinking truly is.
