Manage episode 505532012 series 3615385
In this episode of Clear & On Purpose, Christina sits down with Kelly Edwards, homeschooling mama and business owner, to explore a more intentional and child-led approach to learning. Kelly shares her journey from 'accidental homeschooler' to creating a framework called the 90-Minute School Day, designed to help parents deschool themselves, support their children’s learning, and build confidence in their parenting.
We discuss:
- How to create a homeschool environment rooted in relationship, curiosity, and trust.
- Balancing homeschooling with running a business or pursuing personal passions.
- Supporting neurodivergent children while prioritizing emotional regulation for the whole family.
- Why following a child’s interests can cultivate independence, self-trust, and lifelong learning skills.
- Practical tips for integrating learning into everyday life, from reading aloud to experiential activities.
This episode is perfect for parents who are homeschooling, considering it, or looking for ways to foster confidence, curiosity, and self-directed learning in their children—while maintaining their own balance and well-being.
