Stop Testing Kids. Start Asking Better Questions. (EP 139)

What if the most powerful way to teach your child isn’t explaining—but asking better questions? In this episode of the School to Homeschool Podcast, Janae Daniels explains how the Socratic Method can transform homeschooling conversations into powerful learning experiences. Instead of memorizing information or preparing for tests, children learn to think critically, analyze ideas, and defend their reasoning. You’ll learn: • What the Socratic Method is and where it comes from • How to ask powerful questions that spark deep thinking • The six types of Socratic questions parents can use • How to use this method in literature, history, science, and faith discussions • Why questioning builds stronger thinkers than traditional testing Whether you are a homeschool parent, unschooler, or simply want deeper conversations with your children, this method can turn everyday learning into meaningful discovery. If you want to raise kids who ask good questions, seek truth, and think for themselves, this episode is for you.
