Summary

Some families are discovering that childhood doesn't have to feel like a race. In this conversation with educator and founder of Little House Farm, Lindsay Meredith, we talk about what happens when you trade packed schedules, endless testing, and constant rushing for long afternoons outside, meaningful books, deep friendships, and learning that children actually look forward to. Lindsay shares how she left the traditional classroom to build something completely different—and why families are driving from miles away to be part of it. Whether you homeschool, send your kids to school, or you're simply wondering if family life has become more exhausting than it should be, this episode offers a refreshing vision of what childhood can become.
