  • Parenting Highly Sensitive Kids in a High-Stimulation Culture
    Jul 22 2025

    In this timely and compassionate conversation, host Peggy Ployhar is joined by child and adolescent development expert Sarah Boyd (M.Ed. Psych.), founder of Resilient Little Hearts and author of the upcoming book Turn Down the Noise: A Practical Guide to Building an Emotionally Healthy Family in a Chronically Overstimulated World. Together, they explore how modern life’s constant noise—from screens to schedules—can overwhelm both children and parents, especially in homeschooling families.

    Sarah unpacks the neuroscience behind overstimulation, shares how to recognize and support the trait of high sensitivity in children (and ourselves), and offers practical strategies for simplifying family life to foster connection, resilience, and emotional health.

    This episode is packed with empathy, insight, and actionable steps for parents raising children in a chronically overstimulated world. Whether you're homeschooling a highly sensitive child or just feeling stretched too thin, this conversation will leave you equipped and encouraged.

  • Teaching Kids Life and Social Skills with Confidence
    Jul 15 2025

    Teaching life and social skills doesn't come with a tidy checklist—and for homeschool parents of unique learners, it can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and even lonely. In this episode of Empowering Homeschool Conversations, our co-hosting team opens up about their own homeschooling journeys—sharing what worked, what took longer than expected, and how they found peace in the process.

    Most of our team now has teens or adult children, so we’re looking back to offer perspective and encouragement for those of you still in the trenches. Whether you’re trying to teach daily hygiene, basic chores, social boundaries, or emotional self-regulation, we hope this conversation gives you practical ideas, honest insight, and a whole lot of grace.
