In a world increasingly shaped by AI tools like ChatGPT, the ability to ask thoughtful, effective questions is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Questioning has always been a foundational skill in education, but today it plays a central role in how our kids learn, think, and succeed in a rapidly evolving future.
In this episode, I’m joined by Connie Albers, a pioneer in modern homeschooling and advocate for question-based learning. We talk about why helping our kids become great questioners is one of the most powerful things we can do as homeschool parents—especially in an AI-driven world.
Connie Albers is a respected veteran homeschool mom of five, grandma to many, and wife to Tom. She is a nationally recognized parenting and education expert who appears frequently on Fox 35 Good Day Orlando, Focus on the Family, and various radio and podcast shows. As an international speaker, Connie focuses on family issues, motherhood, homeschooling, and parenting. Her popular Equipped To Be with Connie Albers podcast focuses on strengthening today’s families to stand strong in a changing culture.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand:
Why questioning is a core skill for lifelong learning and future success
How question-based learning builds confidence and independence
Practical strategies to start developing this skill in your homeschool
If you want to raise critical thinkers who are ready to thrive in an AI-influenced future, this conversation is for you!
