You want to raise kids who are empathetic, aware, and active in their communities. Kids who see a need and feel empowered to help. But when you look at the news, or even a standard textbook, the "big topics" feel too heavy, too complex, or too dry for your living room table. You are left wondering how to teach them about the world without stealing the magic and wonder of their childhood. It shouldn’t be this hard to find resources that bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world heart work.
As a mama and the host of The Kindness Rebellion and Raising Kind Humans, I realized we didn’t need more traditional Social Studies, we needed Soulcial Studies. I created KINDschooling to help parents like you move away from overwhelming "doom-scrolling" and toward a lifestyle of intentional, everyday play. My mission is to give you the tools to protect your child's wonder while nurturing their capacity for empathy and action.
KindSchooling is a philosophy that blends learning with purpose.
It taps into what kids naturally love — like art, baking, nature, and storytelling — and uses those interests to explore big ideas, build empathy, and inspire action.
KindSchooling weaves together:
Academic learning
Emotional intelligence
Community service
Joyful creativity
Whether you're a full-time homeschooler or just looking for meaningful afterschool learning, KindSchooling helps your family raise not just kind kids, but confident, thoughtful world-changers.
To make this easy for your family, I developed our signature KIND Guides. Every guide in our library is built on the KIND Method, a proprietary four-step framework that turns complex topics into kid-friendly service:
Know: Learn the story behind the issue
Inquire: Ask thoughtful questions
Noodle: Think deeply and creatively
Do: Take kind, courageous action
Through my programs, your family can:
Use books to spark big conversations
Discover inspiring people doing real good
Connect with causes and nonprofits
Complete service projects together
When you join this movement, you aren't just checking off a school subject; you are raising a "Kindness Rebel." Through Soulcial Studies, your home becomes a place where learning leads to empathy, and where your children grow up knowing that no matter how big the world’s problems seem, they are never too small to make a difference.

I originally wanted to be a sandwich artist at Subway because I couldn't see over the counter to know what they were doing. But at age 7 I decided I would become a teacher and never looked back. I taught in the elementary classroom for 6 years before staying home with my two kids.
I was a public-school teacher and I never envisioned my kids going anywhere else. Until the world shut down in 2020 and forced us to home educate for a year. Little did I know I would fall so hard for this new way of learning. We are four years in and loving it all, the easy and the hard.
I think it's time we flip the script on community service and give it a more positive spin. Kids are willing to help if we make it fun and engaging. No more boring required hours when you're elbow-deep in papier-mâché' or writing letters about why you love to play outside.
I've been researching the science of kindness for my upcoming book, Raising Kind Humans. Kindness improves mental health, strengthens empathy and confidence, and helps kids develop problem-solving skills. The more I learn about kindness the more I want to develop easy-to-implement lessons for families to use at home.
