Yay!! I've seen the pints with aquinas interview as well it was AMAZING so thrilled to see you talk with him! Autumn your channel continues to be the best ever!!! So happy to see your reach grow and to see the influence of all things classical ! So excited to listen!!!
Can you PLEASE do a video on how you accomplish so much with a little? I’m starting kinderleben this fall w my 4 yo and just feeling overwhelmed w how I’m going to fit all this extra reading and mental work in to prepare and keep up with dishes cooking cleaning laundry etc
I have several resources like this in Common House! My timetables/schedules, rhythms, etc. from the early years when I started schooling my eldest, with two more toddlers, etc! commonhouse.mn.co
I really loved this interview and was thinking about how similar his interests are to Jonathan Pageau. I started to do some research on Dcn. Nicholas and discovered that in fact he is also a contributor to the Symbolic World! This was a great crossover of two of my favorite podcasts.
As a second gen homeschooler who grew up listening to the old Brothers Grimm fairytales, I was excited to introduce them to my own children. However, my oldest daughter is extremely sensitive to stories. If anything "bad" or "scary" happens in a story she will scream for me to stop reading and run away. I am sometimes able to get around this by skipping parts of a story and briefly telling her what happened. I thought she would grow out of this with age, but she is 7 now and still remains sensitive. I want to share the rich world of fairytales with her, but when we struggle to get through the tamer tails like "Hansel and Gretal" I don't know how to get through the often dark original stories. Any suggestions?
I'm asked this occasionally and I don't have any great answers that you've not already thought about. Can you pinpoint what is the scary element? Rather than "scary story"? Is it a mother role being evil? A dark monster figure? Etc. That might help draw a line around stories she may like/may not?
Lang pulls from Grimm but he also pulls from others like Perrault (not my personal favourite but important in the fairy tale tradition). I do read Lang and recommend his books-even with the Perrault!
36:39 "Once upon a time, in a certain place, a certain mother, for the love of her children, looked with somber determination out upon a sea of garbage fairy tales. Lifting the hem of her apron, boldly she dipped her toe into unknown waters..." 😂😂😂
@@thecommonplacehomeschool I just laughed when I saw your eyes get big hearing about the school they started haha! I get that. My parents and some other families at church started a whole school for us because they didn’t want to send us anywhere. Being homeschoolers now it’s always a temptation to create the perfect CM school isn’t it 🫣 but yes the admin, I’m not made for that 😂

@@thecommonplacehomeschool There is a beautiful abandoned school in my town... It would be perfect 😅 I bet it even has a lamppost... (my neighbour has one in his garden, so why not!). The only catch is you would have to move to the UK 😄

That interview is so good. I hope more people follow along with Dcn. Nicholas' work from all of his interviews!
Thank you for the encouragement!

Oh yes! They do overlap with projects!
Love me some Jonathan Pageau 😍

really enjoyed this episode, thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for listening! I highly encourage you to find Dcn. Nicholas other places!
@@thecommonplacehomeschool will definitely be doing that, thank you!!
Loved this🥰
I'm so happy to hear it!
Let’s go!!!!
I’m just soaking all of this goodness in!
Ah! Isn't every answer full of goodness?!
Opinions of Lang’s Fairytales? Are they on par with OG Grimm?
Lang pulls from Grimm but he also pulls from others like Perrault (not my personal favourite but important in the fairy tale tradition). I do read Lang and recommend his books-even with the Perrault!

Bahahah. Yes.
You’re going to open a classical school aren’t you Autumn 😂
Haha! Wouldn't that be fun? I like teaching too much to be pulled into administration but we'll see what God does!
