Episode 11 - Queen of Connection - On Reading and Responsive Classrooms

In this inspiring episode, host Anne Lewis speaks with Amber Jackson, a dedicated homeschool educator to Anne’s son, Fritz. Amber shares her journey from early dreams of teaching to founding her own Montessori-inspired, Responsive Classroom-based homeschool. She offers insights into creating emotionally safe, child-centered learning environments and empowering students through independence, routine, and mutual respect. This heartfelt conversation is packed with practical wisdom and encouragement for parents, educators, and advocates seeking to nurture the full potential of every child.

Topics discussed include:

• Amber’s reasons for saying “yes” to working with Fritz, her belief in his potential, and how she adapts her teaching style to honor his individuality—focusing on curiosity over compliance.

• Practical school tools, like using a sand timers for emotional regulation.

• Embracing gentle parenting, letting go of perfection, and recognizing that some behaviors are tied to just being a kid.
