Episode 136 is a return of our beloved friend Leah Boden and the author of Modern Miss Mason. Leah is back on the Restoration Home Podcast to talk about her incredible new writing project, middle school biographies of heroes of the Restoration Home: C.S. Lewis and Charlotte Mason.

Leah and Jennifer talk about the life lessons learned from Mason and Lewis's lives, which were Christ centred and focused on faithfulness and inspired by God's calling on their lives. This is an incredible conversation for the whole family about having great heroes of the faith and a Christ centred education.

They discuss the role of Charlotte Mason in an education that is story and narrative based. Charlotte Mason education isn't about reading as many books or cramming as much information into our children as possible. Instead, we are stewarding an education that fills them with a deep sense of identity, good and evil, and the ability continue learning their whole lives.

The Peaceful Preschool Volume 2 is coming Summer of 2025!

We live in a new world of technology with AI or LLMs radically changing the way we access and learn from the web. It is an incredible tool for researchers, entrepreneurs, artists, parents, and your highschooler. However, what are we losing by using it? Are there better or worse ways to interact with it? How is it changing our brains, our childrent's future career opportunities, and what about the environmental impact?

In episode 134, Jennifer and Emelie Pepito dig deep into AI. They talk about how to use AI to enhance your highschoolers education, raising children for a different future, and the irreplaceable human brain.
