If you’ve stepped away from school, or you’re quietly wondering whether you will, you might know this feeling. The sense that it’s all on you now. Every subject, every skill, every answer. In this Alchemising Education conversation, Kerri and I talk about the people who’ve actually taught our kids the most. The guys at the local hobby shop. A gentle singing teacher. A blacksmith down the road. None of them were “teachers”. All of them changed something. We’ve turned it into a prompt sheet you can sit with over a cuppa: Finding Your Child’s People. Six small prompts, from noticing what lights your child up to letting a good opportunity be refused. The full conversation and the PDF are waiting in the Classroom: AE Ep 70: Finding Your Child’s People Pick one prompt for this week. That’s plenty. Then tell us: who’s been an unexpected teacher in your family? And if this stirred up a question, pop it in AMA Questions. We’re gathering them for our next AMAs.

If school feels heavy and you’re wondering what else might fit, we’ve got somewhere to start. Our five free First Steps webinar replays are ready in the Classroom. Explore where to start, part-time school, when to homeschool, choosing a program and homeschooling costs. Each has a transcript and practical prompts, so you can take what helps without doing all the things. The Village is a quieter resource space for now. There isn’t a monthly live webinar or AMA running at the moment. Future dates will be announced here and through our email newsletter at quantimama.com when they’re confirmed.
