1KHO 392: Young Children Learn Best Through Play and Experiences | Julie Ross, A Gentle Feast

In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich chats with Julie Ross, creator of the award-winning homeschool curriculum A Gentle Feast. Together, they explore why young children thrive through hands-on play and meaningful experiences, rather than rigid academics. Drawing from their own adventures, including a transformative white-water rafting trip in Moab, Julie shares how Charlotte Mason's timeless educational philosophy fosters growth and curiosity in both children and parents. The conversation covers topics like the importance of living books, the power of narration, and how moms can reclaim their mornings with routines that nurture body, mind, and soul. This episode is filled with actionable insights and encouragement for creating a more joyful, connected, and wonder-filled life.
