I made something for you!

Hi Reader! I've been deep in curriculum development as Director of GrowthMinded at Big Life Journal, and I meet weekly with parents at Bright & Quirky who are raising kids that learn differently. And the thing I hear over and over is this: they know their child learns differently. They just don't know what to do about it on a Tuesday morning when nothing is working. So I made you something. 👉 Download: Teach the Way They Learn — Your Free Guide LM Teach the Way They Learn.pdf​ It's a mini-guide walking through five learning profiles: ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and processing challenges. For each one, you'll find real challenges, hidden strengths, and teaching strategies that work. I wrote this because I've lived it. My daughter has dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD. My son has ADHD and struggles with anxiety. I've spent years figuring out what works, not from a textbook, but from sitting across from my kids at 11am when nothing was clicking. I want you to see your child's learning differences the way I've learned to see them: not as problems to fix, but as profiles to understand. When you know how their brain works, you can stop guessing and start teaching in a way that actually reaches them. I hope this gives you something useful this week. Here's to knowing our kids! Warmly, P.S. I'm doing a series on Instagram called Accommodations You Don't Need Permission For, with tips and strategies you can start using right now in your homeschool.

Hi Reader! I'm not sure if I ever told you this... But I really love being part of an in-person fiction book club. I mean, I really love it. There’s something about getting lost in a story throughout the month… and then sitting around a table with friends sharing dinner, laughter, and conversation that just fills me back up. In fact, here’s a little peek from one of our nights. Now, I know what you might be thinking… “That sounds nice… but I don’t have time for that.” And I get it. I’ve been...
Hi Reader! Okay, I have a little game for you today. Ready? Statement 1: The American public school system was modeled after a Prussian military strategy — designed to create obedient soldiers and compliant factory workers, not curious thinkers. Statement 2: Kids today need the exact same education that worked in 1816. Statement 3: The original system grouped children by age, sat them in rows, and rewarded memorization and compliance — because that's what factory owners needed from their...
Hi Reader! One thing I hear from homeschool parents all the time is this: “I wish my child had something they were passionate about… but I have no idea how to find it.” It can feel like everyone else’s kids have “their thing.” The musician.The athlete.The artist. Meanwhile you’re sitting there wondering if your child will ever discover something they love. What I’ve learned over the years is that passions rarely appear fully formed. More often, they start as experiments. My daughter actually...
