Homeschooling Systems for ADHD Families | ADHD Support, Homeschooling Autism, Homeschool Help, Special NeedsShow Notes
Is your child burned out from “doing school”? What if following their interests could help bring the joy back to learning?
In this episode, I’m talking with Camila Johnson about unit studies, interest-led learning, and raising lifelong learners. Camila shares about challenges she faced raising her sons with ADHD and then becoming a homeschool mom later in life and creating an herbalism unit study. We talk about how following our kids’ curiosity can make learning more engaging, meaningful, and fun. Because homeschooling doesn’t have to be about checking every box. It can be an opportunity to explore our kids’ interests, nurture their gifts, and help them become who they’re created to be.
