When my oldest daughter was in first grade, we withdrew our eldest daughter from conventional school due to its inability to meet her unique needs. Our family, shaped by adoption and neurodivergence, embarked on a homeschooling journey. Initially, our ‘schooled’ mindset posed challenges, but embracing deschooling marked a transformative turning point. Now, I support fellow parents in their path to natural learning with the 90-Minute School Day system, offering a concise framework for a tailored and enriching education.

Ep. 17 – Put Curriculum in its Place!

Do you ever feel like you’re drowning in curriculum choices? I know the feeling all too well. Reviewing options can be endless and overwhelming, leaving us with questions like:

Did I pick the right one? Do I need anything else, or did I order enough? How much should I spend? Do I get a grade level for each of my children? How can I simplify this? Do we have to do all of it?  Do I need to study? 

If you’ve ever found yourself pondering one or several of these questions, you’re are not alone! 

Ep. 15 – Your Must-Have Homeschool Guide

This episode previews Guide Training™, delving into the transformative approach of guiding children in homeschooling rather than simply teaching them. Emphasis is placed on understanding neurodiversity and adopting natural learning practices through deschooling, using biological rhythms instead of schedules, and viewing learning using the 90-Minute School Day™ lens.
