140 Reading Aloud, Nature & Raising Kids Who Love to Learn with Camila Johnson

What happens when we stop trying to fit our children into an educational mold and start teaching the unique child God placed in front of us? Former public school teacher, homeschool mom, and Eden Institute founder Camila Johnson joins Maeve for a refreshing conversation about what really helps children thrive--and give us some teaching tips along the way.  From the surprising power of reading aloud and spending time in God's creation to celebrating mistakes and recognizing our children's unique gifts, this episode challenges the conventional definition of educational success. You'll laugh, you'll be encouraged, and you might just discover that some of the best learning happens when we put down the lesson plans and let curiosity lead.
