The Interest Led Path

What happens when we stop trying to "mold" our children and start actually noticing them? Welcome to The Interest Led Path. This is a space for parents who are ready to move away from the pressure of traditional teaching and step into a life of natural discovery. I am Dr. Kunjal Dharod, MSPT, DPT and I am deeply passionate about this path because I’ve seen what happens when we trust a child’s innate drive to learn. This philosophy is for every child and every family. Whether your child is neurotypical or neurodivergent—ADHD, Autistic, a "Deep Diver," or a "Scanner"—this path honors the way their unique brain is wired. For many neurodivergent children, interest isn't just a preference; it is the essential "hook" that makes learning possible and joyful. What you can expect: The Power of the Rabbit Hole: How a single obsession is the engine for science, history, math, and life skills. Neuro-Affirming Perspectives: Celebrating hyper-fixations and unique learning rhythms as strengths, not "deficits." The "Clue" Mindset: How to curate an environment rich with tools, books, and digital resources that invite exploration. Autonomy & Respect: Strategies to help you let go of the "results" and focus on the human being in front of you. We aren't here to manage outcomes or replicate school at home. We are here to follow the spark. If you believe that curiosity is a birthright, you belong here. theinterestledpath.substack.com
