Everyone can homeschool their kids. In fact, you’re already doing it. Every weekday afternoon and evening. Every weekend. Every school holiday. Every hour that your kid isn’t in regular school, they are being homeschooled. You need to act on this. Discuss important things at the dinner table. Talk to them about things that matter. Challenge them to think for themselves...
Today is Lucia. A Swedish tradition that’s celebrated all over the country and also among exile Swedes in other parts of the world. Lucia and her maids and star singers walk in procession and sing traditional hymns. In schools and kindergarten, Lucia is also accompanied by Santas and kids dressed up as gingerbread. Almost every little town has their Lucia...
Math. The one subject with the most stigma. The one subject that can elicit powerful emotions. Either you’re for or against. Either you love math or you hate it. Enjoying math and being good at it, is considered nerdy. The cool kids, on the other hand, gladly claim to be no good at math and they happily declare that it’s...
What can one person do? As it turns out, a lot. History is full of people who led major revolutions. Not all of us will lead a revolution that will change the world entirely. Not all of us will gather masses of several thousand that are protesting in the streets. Not all of us will be written about in history books...
A blank page. Intimidating. Nothing to see. Nothing to write. Nothing to say. But that’s not true, is it? We all have something to share. A story to tell. Your story is unique. No one has a history quite like yours. No one has the same experiences. Similar maybe, but never the same. Yours is a story worth telling. But...
May is one of the most hectic months of the year, especially if you have kids. Recitals, concerts, excursions, field trips; everything seems to be happening at once. The kids need to bring an extra snack, the bicycle has to be at school, they have to bring their instrument to rehearse for the school graduation. Life seems to be rushing...
Why is that there are still women who let themselves be walked down the aisle by their father and handed over to their husband to be? Like an item. Like a merchandise to be delivered. Like a prize possession. Here she is! She’s all yours now. I give her to you. She now belongs to you. Why? This tradition was...
On your evening stroll through the house, you spot a dirty sock on the living room floor, some paintings on the bench in the hallway, gym clothes hanging in the bathroom. You just walk on by and sit yourself down with a cup of tea and read. If that’s you, congratulations, you’ve mastered the fine art of letting go and...
In the wake of the #metoo movement, there are several high profile men that have been called out on sexual abuse and even rape. Atrocities that they have committed for several years and people have known about it, or at least had very strong suspicions about what’s been going on. Why haven’t they been exposed earlier? How could they get...
We need more women in tech. No arguing there. But how do we achieve it? Why do so few women study tech subjects at the university and why are even fewer working within the tech industry? Are women not interested in tech? Or is there something else that explains the sorry lack of female voices in the industry? Research suggests...
