Getting started

This is Paradise of Childhood, a site dedicated to promoting a healthy family, including getting kids on board for eating healthy foods and having less screen time and more outside time. It will also be about our version of homeschooling, Froebelian homeschooling. We don't use any curriculum because we believe, as Frederich Froebel did, that children learn through play. It is not always "free play," though; we also incorporate guided lessons through play, hands-on activities, trips, involvement in our community, and we read lots of books.

I would love to build a community of people who want to be healthier, have a healthier family, are homeschool misfits like us, or are interested in homeschooling or learning about Froebelian education to incorporate into your world. Please consider my posts an invitation to start a dialog about homeschooling methods and food options, to ask questions, or to share advice. We cannot do this alone; we must help one another learn and grow. Thanks for reading.
