Deeply passionate about early education, Denita Dinger promotes cultivating curiosity and autonomy in young learners by fostering environments rich in opportunities for play and natural growth—guiding principles she lives by to help ignite a love for lifelong learning in children. Denita discusses the often-misguided focus on kindergarten readiness and how it can detract from the truly valuable skills of perseverance, independence, and teamwork. She emphasizes the importance of going beyond traditional academic metrics — allowing children to lead their play, take risks, and naturally develop critical thinking and motor skills at their own pace. As Teacher Tom and Denita share their insights, they delve into the harmful impact of fear-mongering in education and the importance of creating learning environments that foster genuine curiosity and lifelong learning. Teacher Tom's Podcast is all about taking play seriously. In each episode, Teacher Tom inspires early childhood educators, parents, and other listeners with information, techniques, and best practices to provide children an authentic play-filled childhood. “This idea of kindergarten readiness or school readiness is getting in the way of true readiness, of empowering children with the skills that they're going to need much, much longer.” — Denita Dinger Guest Bio: Denita Dinger has traveled the globe since 2009 leading empowering and inspiring keynotes and workshops to all sorts of adults with children in their lives. As her work with children in her former family child care program — and current, child-led, multi-age school — has evolved, so has her message. What began as her first consulting company, Play Counts, evolved to a name that better reflects her message: Listen to the Children. Denita's work includes operating Kaleidoscope Play School (a three-morning-a-week, child-led, ages 2-10 school), coaching, keynotes, workshops, and online training. She doesn't just talk the talk; she walks the walk. Her trainings are inspired by what she learns from children. She has co-authored three books: Let Them Play: An Early Childhood UNcurriculum, Let's Play, and Let's All Play. Host Bio: “Teacher Tom” Hobson is an early childhood educator, international speaker, education consultant, teacher of teachers, parent educator, and author. He is best known, however, for his namesake blog, Teacher Tom's Blog, where he has posted daily for over a decade, chronicling the life and times of his little preschool in the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest corner of the USA. For nearly two decades, Teacher Tom was the sole employee of the Woodland Park Cooperative School, a parent-owned and operated school knit together by Teacher Tom's democratic, progressive play-based pedagogy. Teacher Tom came into teaching through the backdoor, so to speak, having enrolled his own child in a cooperative preschool, where he began working daily in his daughter's classroom as an assistant teacher under the tutelage of veteran educators — although he'll be the first to tell you that most of what he learned came from the children themselves. When it was time for his daughter to move on, he “stayed behind.” Today, Teacher Tom shares his play-based pedagogy through online e-courses for early childhood educators; produces online early childhood conferences; consults with organizations about his “Family Schools” program; and inspires early-years audiences around the world (Greece, UK, Iceland, Australia, China, Vietnam, New Zealand, Canada, and across the US) both virtually and in-person with his engaging views on early childhood education, play, and pedagogy.

This episode is filled with engaging and enlightening stories from early childhood educator and international consultant, Tom Hobson. Through decades of study and practice with preschoolers, “Teacher Tom” understands how children ‘learn how to learn' through play. He writes, "Time and again, when I've had faith in children, when I've held them as competent, for more often than not, they show me they are." He now shares that knowledge around the world, describing how we create classroom environments that let kids learn.
In this episode of The Love Cast, I sit down with renown film producer, author, and meditation teacher Tom Cronin. After spending 26 years in finance as a broker on a trading room floor, suffering from addictions, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, insomnia and ultimately a nervous breakdown, Tom tuned into meditation to find a way out. Tom went on to produce the documentary film and book The Portal, creating the world's first deep transcending style meditation program online, working with some of the top companies in the world in mindfulness and meditation from Amazon, Coca-Cola and Qantas, speaking on stages at some of the biggest conferences like Afest, Adews Summit, Wanderlust, etc... In this episode, Tom and I discuss the insatiable nature of the ego and why we must transcend the ego if we are to tap into our ultimate potential as human beings individually, and humanity as a whole.
This week on The Preschool Podcast, we revisit an episode with Tom Hobson (aka Teacher Tom). We discuss his thoughts on how early childhood educators can work together to face the challenges of reopening after COVID-19 while maintaining the engagement that they receive from learning through play.

On today's episode Priyanka will be speaking with Tom Hobson, also known as “Teacher Tom”.Teacher Tom is an early childhood educator, education consultant and author. He's best known for his blog called “Teacher Tom's Blog” where he has posted daily for over 13 years about his experiences teaching young children. Tom is a passionate proponent of play based pedagogy and he's written two books on the subject. The first book is called “Teacher Tom's First Book” and we'll let you guess the name of his second book. In this discussion Tom and Priyanka talk about many subjects: from play based learning to cooperative schools to building a community for your child. They talk about risky play and why it just might be more risky to avoid it. Tom talks about his way of dealing with kids who are bickering. Very helpful.Tom explains why there are only 3 things that adults do better than children.There's a lot to learn in this episode. Alan couldn't be there in person to talk with Tom because of schedules, and Priyanka was flying solo on this one.

Guest Philip Mott Philip is a former elementary school teacher who now offers parenting advice for busy and frustrated parents. He and his wife home school their three young children. He's a regular contributor to Fathering Together and First Time Parent Magazine. www.philipmott.com www.fatheringtogether.org https://www.firsttimeparentmagazine.com You can also hear an interview with him on the podcast Front Row Dads. There are two parts: Part One https://frontrowdads.com/philip-mott-part-1/ Part Two https://frontrowdads.com/philip-mott-part-2/ He is interviewed by Living Joyfully With Unschooling on the Exploring Unschooling podcast. View here on YouTube: SHOW NOTES: In today's episode Jenna and Philip have an open and honest conversation about how each of their households handles things like screen time, bedtime and other common hurdles in unschooling. Before we begin Jenna reminds listeners that she is always looking for new topics and questions you would like to hear addressed on the podcast. For instance, would you like to hear more from Jenna herself, more experts, other ideas? Also, remember to please leave a review as this helps grow the community. Jenna begins the interview by asking Philip to explain his journey into self-directed learning. Philip says that he began reading a lot about child development, student engagement, and why students are not fully engaged. He realized that he was becoming the teacher he himself would not have wanted when he was a student. His experience in school was not a good one which was one reason he wanted to become a teacher himself. At that time he felt he had fallen into an authoritarian role. After doing some reading he began to try to make his classroom more child centered. But he says that the writings of Magda Gerber, a parent child advocate who founded the Resources for Infant Educarers usually referred to as RIE, was a great inspiration for him. He found this resource when his child was thirteen months old and followed her advice on letting the child lead in play and learning. He had always followed a self-directed path in his own learning but hadn't made the connection that it would be the same for even very young children. He and his wife were surprised and pleased that a child that young could be so self-directed. This was when they became hooked on self-directed learning and knew that they wanted that for their family. Jenna notes that she is always surprised at how many educators there are who have an epiphany and says that she can relate to the feeling of becoming that teacher that you don't want to be. She says that it felt uncomfortable and wrong but was brought on by stress and expectations which were out of her control. Philip agrees and says that when he was teaching fifth grade at an online school he was on a team that kept him from implementing some of the things he wanted to try. He did create a program he called ‘Connect' in which he would engage with students in order to build a relationship beyond just academics. He tracked grades during this time and saw that the extra engagement with his students did improve their interest and success in class. But, it still didn't make up for the fact that trying to teach everyone the same thing at the same time was really not working. The curriculum keeps teachers bound to a timeline teaching specific skills at specific times. Jenna asks if there is in his opinion any time that any one skill MUST be learned. Philip says that it is less about when or even what is absolutely needed to be known or learned, but is much more imperative that the child not be made to feel inadequate if they fail to learn something at the time we expect them to learn it. Even if parents don't criticize or punish their child for not learning a skill, they receive the message of unworthiness from standardized testing, the grading system etc. Jenna mentions that some teachers put the scores on the board following a test. She wonders if this is supposed to motivate the students. Philip says he wonders if it has become more valuable to beat another person rather than to learn and nurture relationships. He says that some of the philosophical reasoning within racism and feminism can teach about children and learning. He mentions the book ‘For Her Own Good' by Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English. The book addresses the wife having no say, and kids often find themselves in the same position. A power over vs power with mentality. Jenna mentions a podcast episode by Brene Brown, where she discusses the Power Over vs Power With paradigm. Jenna goes on to ask Philip if is familiar with Peter Gray's assertion that language is the only subject that must be learned by age four and does he agree. Philip says that in his own experience it has been the case that timelines on learning are very individual. He gives the example of his own learning. As he said before he was not a good student even in high school. But, in college he was ready to learn and did well. He supposes that exposure to one's native language would most likely occur naturally. Jenna says she was speaking with a friend recently and they brought up the fact that as students they didn't learn much about technology as it hadn't been invented yet. Now, everytime new tech comes along they all learn to use it. An example of learning when the need occurs. Philip mentions that people are even learning things about how things were done ages ago. There are many YouTube channels dedicated to learning skills and tasks of old. Jenna mentions a project in Germany where they've used period-appropriate tools, materials, and techniques. Jenna points out that the driving force in self-directed learning is curiosity. Philip states that within their home school ‘Curiosity is the Curriculum' is their motto. An example he gives of a typical day is this. His kids are really into Pokemon right now. So, they will watch an episode or two and then go downstairs to the basement and act it out. His older son has learned all of the characters, cards, hit points etc. He is using a lot of skills including math. He advises parents to stop and observe what kids are doing and be able to see and recognize that their learning is fun and they are using valuable skills. Jenna mentions that she has observed her kids especially on excursions and that natural conversations occur that inspire learning. As a teacher she could see the learning but it was very subtle. With her son, his big interest at the moment is video games. He has learned by trying and failing and trying again. As he improved and learned organizational skills as well as the tech, he now shares his skills on Twitch. He learned a lot of soft skills that could one day be applied to a career. Academics she says can be learned and proven, whereas soft skills are more fluid. Philip agrees that academics have all these benchmarks and soft skills are harder to master. Even though Jenna's son is showing leadership skills, there may be times when he doesn't take a leadership role and that's okay. He goes on to talk about labeling kids. One label he hears a lot is regarding ‘the strong-willed child.' Once you decide your child is strong-willed, you tend to see everything they do through that lens. He wonders how it helps a parent to label a child strong-willed. While they may have been strong-willed yesterday, he believes we should give our loved ones a new chance everyday. Jenna says this reminds her of a podcast she listened to by Blake Boles interviewing Naomi Fisher on the topic of Nature vs Nurture. Perhaps it is the dynamic between parent and child. For instance maybe the parent is very authoritative and that impacts the child's behavior. It goes both ways and can be very different between children within the same household. Philip says it is impossible to be the same parent to all of his kids. His kids are very different people. Jenna mentions that she isn't even the same person around her different groups of friends, so of course it makes sense that it is impossible to parent each child exactly the same way. Philip says that his wife came back from the store one day and said that she needed to remember what it was like to shop with a three year old. This conversation reminded him that we even tend to label age groups of children. We put expectations of behavior and more on them. He says we need to look at it more individually. This is not A child, this is MY child. She isn't a problem, she is having a problem. Jenna agrees and says that it might be you that is projecting and actually creating a problem. Everyone has good and bad days. Philip says we need to not be hard on ourselves as parents, since there are no ‘perfect' parents. Jenna says that within self-directed learning there is a tendency to strive for peacefulness and avoid conflict at all costs. She asks Philip's thoughts on this. Philip states that there are only two things in their household that they are firm on. Bedtime and Screen Time. As for bedtime they have ‘room time.' The kids have to spend time in their rooms at night, but there is no requirement as to when they actually go to sleep. Jenna says that for her, sleep is a number one priority. In her household with her kids, as they are older, and with some experimentation they agreed that everyone would be in bed by 9:30 PM. They don't have to go to sleep, but they need to be quiet. Philip says he really likes that Jenna discussed her need for sleep with her kids and asked her kids to help her out with that. Jenna prompts Philip for his thoughts on screen time. Philip states that he and his wife didn't initially agree on this subject. (She wanted to limit it.) Now that his kids no longer have nap time, this has become Screen Time. They also have another screen time session in the evening. Although it is limited, it has not been a problem. Screens are now part of our culture and kids will most certainly be using them a lot in their futures. Jenna says she is glad that he and his wife were able to negotiate as it demonstrates what everyone goes through. Parents are hardly ever in complete agreement on every issue. For her family they had years of limited screen time. She says she wouldn't change that because it is impossible to explain to a two or five year old how video games are designed to be addictive. Now that her kids are older, she can discuss it at a higher level. Her son now spends the majority of his time on a screen since his main interests include gaming, tech related everything, 2D animation, 3D modeling, YouTube, Twitch etc. If she sees that he is losing interest in all of the other things he loves such as basketball, rock climbing and swimming, then it would be time to have a conversation with him. She says that one of the superpowers of self-directed parents is that they know their children so well that they notice more when something is off. Philip discusses the fact that even if a self-directed parent were concerned they wouldn't panic or try to solve the problem on their own. They would as Jenna stated have a conversation with the child and participate together in a solution. Jenna and Philip wrap up the interview by agreeing that there are so many variables in play. Personalities, ages, etc. There is no rulebook. Parents have to be kind to themselves and their children. Jenna asks Philip the four questions that she asks all of her guests: How do you like to learn? Philip says he really likes to learn in tandem with others. Something like an apprenticeship. What are you curious about? Philip states that he is currently into meal prep and meal planning. Jenna asks if he has resources for that to share. Philip says that he just pulls things from the pantry and experiments. Do you have any educational resources that you want to share? Philip says that he has found some great courses through Masterclass Some of the classes he has tried are Graphic Design, Cooking and Guitar Playing. What is a book, blog or podcast that you recommend? Philip says that Rogue Learner is of course on the list as well as Teacher Tom, an inspiring, friendly and authentic blog about living and learning with preschoolers.

Like us, Teacher Tom is concerned about how we raise our boys. "In our culture, we have a society where men are lonely, men have higher suicide rates and men are more prone to violence, and sexual abuse. And I don't think that's in the nature of men. I think it's somehow in the nature of how we're raising men," says Tom Hobson, aka "Teacher Tom," a preschool teacher at Woodland Park Cooperative Schools. "A big piece of it -- and huge piece of it -- is around emotions." The only negative emotion males are allowed in society, he says, is anger. Boys as young as 4 and 5 begin walling off their emotions. "We treat boys and girls differently, and we treat their emotions differently," Tom says. "We need to let them know that whatever they feel, it's OK to feel that." Of course, giving kids time and space to experience their emotions isn't always easy when you're being pulled in a thousand different directions. Whenever possible, though, Tom suggests prioritizing the people who need support with their emotions. Allowing wrestling and roughhousing can also help boys manage their emotions and friendships. "Wrestling can be an act of love between boys," Tom says, noting that many adults (especially women) misunderstand boys' motives and stop what they view as aggression. "It you watch two boys wrestling, most of the time, they are paying such close attention to each other, to one another's bodies and their facial expressions. Half the time, they're looking into each other's eyes as they're wrestling, and it is a beautiful thing to see." In this episode, Jen, Janet & Tom discuss: Males in early childhood education The influence of gender expectations on emotional development Helping boys deal with emotions Societal changes that have made it difficult for families to thrive ("We've made parenting unnecessarily difficult," Tom says.) The role of bickering in boys' development Creating a "yes space" in your house Boys' friendships What female teachers & parents misunderstand about boys, wrestling & roughhousing Agreements vs rules Why you have to give boys time to respond Teaching boys consent Encouraging curiosity, wonder & questioning Loose parts play Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: Teacher Tom -- Tom's blog Teacher Tom's Facebook page It "Works" Every Time -- Tom's 2019 blog post about creating space to finish a cry (mentioned at 13:47) Teacher Tom's Play Summit 2021 -- FREE online summit, June 20-25 (mentioned at 50:17) The Art of Roughhousing (w Dr. Lawrence Cohen) -- ON BOYS episode Why Boys Do What They Do - classic Building Boys blog post, mentioned at 43:46 Sponsor Spotlight: Hiya Health HEALTHY children's vitamins — no sugar or “gummy junk” included!

Tom Callos Mini-Bio:Tom Callos is a 7th degree black belt under Ernie Reyes, Sr. --and a 1st dan in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu under Andre Galvao. His first lessons were in judo, in 1969. He earned his 1st degree black belt in Taekwondo in 1979 --and his Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu 49 years after he first stepped on the mats.Tom owned 2 schools located in Reno, Nevada that at their peak taught over 800 students each week. He was, for a time, in a partnership with his teacher in 11 schools in California's Bay Area and owned a school located in Hilo, Hawaii which is now owned and operated by his former student, BJ Penn. For several decades before his retirement in 2019, Tom was in service to the international martial arts community as a business consultant and curriculum designer. The programs he designed focused on altruism and his “Out of the dojo and into the world” approach to marketing, teaching, and rank testing. He designed programs such as The Ultimate Black Belt Test, The 6-Tasks Character Development Program, The Random Acts of Kindness Program --and for 15 years ran an annual “build-vention,” a martial arts business convention that was held in rural Alabama and had participants raising money for --and then building --homes and other structures to benefit people in need. His efforts in Alabama brought a quarter of a million dollars in donations and was a catalyst for more than 40,000 man-hours of volunteer labor. Now retired from consulting, Tom is working on his Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a specialty in printmaking at Boise State University.

The COVID-19 pandemic puts forward a real challenge for play-based learning methods in childcare. In this episode, we chat with Tob Hobson (aka Teacher Tom) about his thoughts on how early educators can work together to face the challenges of reopening, while maintaining the engagement that children get from learning through play. We talk about the Play First Online Summit that he is hosting on July 20, which is a gathering of the brightest minds in play to figure out where to go from here.

Let's talk risk! Teacher Tom joins us for this discussion all on risky play for young children. Identifying how to ensure safety and risk are part of the learning process when working with young children. Join us as we share stories, strategies and of course....lots of laughter!
In Episode 14 of Play it Forward, Lukas chats to the incredible Teacher Tom over in Seattle. Teacher Tom is one of the world’s leading early educators and his advocacy for children’s right to play and take ownership of their own childhood experience, is admired and inspired by so many in the sector. In an episode you could listen to over and over again, Lukas and Teacher Tom talk about cooperative preschools, transparency between teachers, parents and children, “crunchy granola hippie schools”, the junkyard play experience and risk in high value play environments. http://teachertomsblog.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TheTeacherTom/ https://parenttv.com/experts/teacher-tom/ https://fairydustteaching.com/
School is over and summer is here. And COVID-19 lockdowns continue...What are we going to do with no camps, limited places to go, and very very long days?!?!Well, first, we are going to have to set our expectations correctly. We can’t come up with A+ crafts everyday. We can’t be cruise directors entertaining our kids all day long. We are going to need some space for ourselves in a season that doesn’t seem to allow for very much space for mom, dad or any of the kids.A few things we are trying out:Taking it day-by-day.Connecting with our kids regularly and intentionally, but not feeling compelled to spend every waking hour doing what they want.Getting comfortable with more mess than usual.Creating a few sacred spaces that are off limits to the kids’ messes. In our house it’s our bedroom and the office. Everything else is fair game.Some structure and rhythms, but not too much. Giving them enough freedom to experiment and figure out how to overcome boredom. Preparing our hearts for less progress, less of a sense of accomplishment than usual. This is a pandemic after all, so it is a season where life is not going to progress the way we’d like. That’s ok. We are ok. You are ok. Keep grinding each day and offering your kids and spouse kindness, gentleness, and patience. (And make sure to offer yourself plenty of the same!)A great resource we discuss that can help encourage us to guide our kids into more independence / responsibility that we found via Teacher Tom.The Stat of the Week is about summer songs and ends up containing a little more Ed Sheeran than we expected. (Just remember the club is NOT the best place to find a lover...) We give him some crap on the call, but here are two Ed Sheeran songs we love: one and two.Thank you for listening! We hope you enjoyed this episode. We are so grateful for everyone who listens to us and would appreciate if you would share the podcast with a friend who might be encouraged by this conversation or who just needs a good laugh at our expense.

Today I’m here with Teacher Tom talking about Playschool. Teacher Tom is a preschool teacher, writer, speaker, artist, and author. We go over assumptions/expectations/beliefs about children that schools and parents get wrong, components of school that are not serving children, how children learn and socialize, why it’s important to support a child’s emotions in schools, how to respond to the pressure for early reading, and what playgrounds should have and why.

Stress hurts. That’s not a complaint; it’s a fact. Excessive mental and emotional stress — the kind that seems to permeate modern life and business — hurts you, and your business. It diminishes health, and it kills performance. If you are stressed, you are not at your best. Managing stress isn’t a luxury.

Í þessum fjórtánda þætti náði Guðrún Inga Torfadóttir tali af Tom Hobson sem staddur var á Íslandi til að taka þátt í ráðstefnunni Play Iceland á dögunum. Hann gaf sér góðan tíma til að setjast niður og ræða í upptöku um hversu mikið hann dáist að íslenskum leikskólum og leikskólabörnum. Þá ræddi hann um leikskólann sem hann starfar í og sér um að reka ásamt foreldrum barnanna sem ganga í skólann og hvernig börnin setja sér reglur sjálf, fá að reyna á sig í áhættusömum leik og hvaða hlutverki hann gegnir sem eini launaði leikskólakennarinn í skólanum. Þá kom hann inn á skoðun sína um menntun leikskólakennara og þátttöku foreldra í leikskólastarfi, stefnurnar sem hann hefur fengið innblástur úr í sínu starfi sem leikskólakennari, áhrif hróss og afskipta fullorðinna af leik barna, lestrarkennslu, sjónvarpsáhorf og skjánotkun og ýmislegt fleira. Þátturinn er á ensku.

Við ræðum í þættinum um útiveru með börnunum og áhættuleik barna. Áskoranir fyrir okkur foreldra felast í hvoru tveggja, að koma sér út fyrir hússins dyr sem og að leyfa börnum að spreyta sig í hárri hæð, miklum hraða o.s.frv. Ef við getum endurhugsað hvernig við sjáum náttúruna og sett hana inn í daglegt líf okkar, mun líf okkar batna. Rannsóknir sýna að börn verja færri stundum úti við en okkar kynslóð gerði, og áhersla vestrænna samfélaga á að draga úr áhættu á leikvöllum hefur jafnframt þau áhrif að skerða leikgleði barna.Þátttakendur: Elsa Borg Sveinsdóttir, Eva Rún Guðmundsdóttir, Guðrún Birna le Sage, Guðrún Björnsdóttir, Kristín Björg Viggósdóttir, Perla Hafdórsdóttir, Svava Margrét Sigurðardóttir og loks Guðrún Inga Torfadóttir sem stýrði umræðum.Í þættinum var m.a. vísað í eftirfarandi:Teacher Tom, teachertomsblog.blogspot.com.Jen Lumanlan, Your Parenting Mojo.
