- Once you begin looking at curricula, it doesn’t take long to notice there’s a lot of overlap on the book lists. Homer. Plato. Plutarch. Dante. Milton. It can leave a mom wondering why we have to read these books in classical education. To get that answer, however, we have to ask a slightly different set of questions: Why do some stories last and why does that matter?
I’m joined by Mr. Joshua Gibbs to discuss why loving stories that last-whether in book, music, or film-is a matter of the soul.

This was great! And I love the language of spiritual/physical and common/uncommon, holy/unholy in reference to books, art, movies as I did a recent deep dive of Leviticus and learning the Hebrew meaning of these words. Just neat to see this wording on a totally different subject and have it explained so well. I need this book asap!
It's a fantastic read! His framework was a great help to me!
I’m so excited!!!!
Enjoy!
So excited
It was so wonderful to speak with him!
Thank you for this! We are still doing public education (although it’s Montessori) and I like to homeschool in the summer, but I’ve really been struggling with the peer pressure to have screens. I wish more parents were awake to this so it doesn’t feel like such a heavy lift to say no all the time. I’ve been telling my kids that I’m trying to give them a childhood. I’ve found limited screens means I need to give them more of my time and access to resources (like outdoor play spaces and tools that require supervision) but I think it’ll be worth it. I’m going to save this video and rewatch to remind myself of the goal (and the good arguments). Thank you for helping us!
Oh yes, it totally asks more of you! I think Josh nailed it when he said we have to pay upfront!
@@thecommonplacehomeschool yes honestly I think this was one of the most helpful things he pointed out. Either way you'll have to pay for things, so which outcome do you ultimately want? Have conviction (and then emotional regulation when upset feelings are expressed) and take joy in spending time with these precious human beings! Time with them will be gone before we know it. What a privilege.
Noooooo! I JUST STARTED WORKING! Why are you so cruel to me?
(Just teasing!)
I do it on purpose.
@@thecommonplacehomeschool I knew it! 🤣
Also quick and amazing parenting hack I learned from Dr. Becky: when I tell them “no” to say, video games or watching a show, I follow up with: “Totally. I see why you’re so mad. If I were you, I’d be upset with me too, and I can hold your anger. Feel free to tell me anytime how mad/sad about this you are.” Lots of empathy, and then asking the question, “now that you have so much free time, what would YOU like to do with it? Do you want to build something? What resources do you think you’ll need? Let’s make a plan.”
I think Good Inside is the best practical companion to The Whole-Brained Child! Thank you for sharing a good tip!
@@thecommonplacehomeschool I should have figured you had an appreciation for the work of Dr. Siegel and Dr. Bryson! So grateful for your channel. I'm glad you decided to add YT to your efforts. I would have never found you otherwise!
