We are moving into a school year that looks very different from every year before, with many kids learning completely virtually or even homeschooling. So what’s the best way to learn at home? What do we need to pay attention to and what can we let go?

In this episode, I bring together two education experts, Lauren Spigelmeyer & Kimberlynn Lavelle, who will walk us through this new learning-at-home land. 

Takeaways: 

1. Mental and emotional health is the number one priority
2. Moving their bodies and getting outside are essential to learning and brain development
3. We can design the space—from seating, to decor, to aroma—to optimize learning
