E98: Home Ed Series: Deschooling & Reconnecting Children With Learning Naturally with Kelly Edwards from 90-Minute School Day

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Kelly Edwards joining us. Kelly is an entrepreneur, licensed foster parent, creator of the 90-Minute School Day, and homeschool mom to 3. Seven years ago when Kelly first began to homeschool, she tried to bring school home and the boxed curriculum was the teacher. She soon realized this was not going to work.

Through her real-life failures, connections with other families in similar straits, and the guidance of some amazing mentors; Kelly redefined what she wanted homeschool to be like for her family. This is where the 90-Minute School Day was born.

Through this lifestyle approach to education, Kelly’s method connects children with learning in their natural environment: at home with their family. This method guides the homeschooling parent with a framework and system that will spark imagination, ignite wonder, and inspire your whole family to adventure.

So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to the mountains of West Virginia and discuss how to detox and launch our new diet of learning naturally in our homeschools!
