Are you worried about your kids spending too much passive time on screens? Join us as we explore how to turn digital learning into real-world adventures with Jeremy Vincent, the co-founder of Globken. In this episode of the Homeschool Your Kids podcast, host Jae and Jeremy dive into the mission behind this innovative edtech platform designed specifically for children in grades K through 5.

Jeremy shares his personal journey from growing up in an entrepreneurial household to building a platform that prioritizes meaningful enrichment. Inspired by his wife’s success in overcoming dyslexia through art, they created Globken to help children discover their unique gifts. We dive deep into how the platform gamifies learning in STEAM subjects, offering rewards like hands-on science kits and planned field trips to keep kids engaged and active.

Throughout the interview, we explore the idea of technology as a tool, much like a hammer, that can be used to build or destroy depending on our intentions. Jeremy explains why creating a safe, ad-free environment is crucial for young learners and how Globken aims to bridge the gap between digital education and physical experiences. From learning chess to understanding renewable energy, discover how you can help your child find their alignment and purpose in the modern age.

Navigating the world of special needs education and therapy can feel like a lonely journey, but it does not have to be. In this episode of the Homeschool Your Kids podcast, we sit down with Elianita, a dedicated speech therapist and mother to an autistic adult daughter. We explore how to reimagine education and therapy to better serve the unique needs of every child.

Elianita shares her inspiring transition from a career in mechanical engineering to becoming a leading voice in specialized therapy. She emphasizes a powerful philosophy: our children do not need fixing, they need appreciation and the right resources to succeed. Throughout the conversation, we discuss the importance of parent networking, as many life-changing resources like Integrated Listening Systems and sensory support are often found through community connections rather than traditional medical offices.

We also dive into the practical side of education, specifically looking at the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) in Arizona and how families can use it to access better care and individualized learning. Elianita provides a look into her practice, Beyond Inclusion Therapy, and her plans for the Wonder Bound Enrichment Center and future micro-schooling. From feeding therapy to essential self-care for parents, this episode covers the vital pillars of raising and educating a child with developmental disabilities.
