INTER-GENERATIONAL LEARNING

EPISODE 192 | In this episode of Homeschool Your Way, we explore the power of intergenerational learning and how the wisdom, stories, and skills of different generations can enrich a child’s education. From grandparents sharing lived experiences to younger adults passing along fresh perspectives, we look at how a mix of ages creates a fuller, more meaningful learning environment. Discover practical ways to invite grandparents, neighbors, and family friends into your homeschool rhythm—and see how these connections can strengthen academics, spark curiosity, and build lifelong relationships. This episode celebrates the beautiful truth that learning doesn’t happen in isolation—it grows stronger when generations learn together. Here's a handy sheet to keep on hand.ABOUT OUR GUEST | Since 2014, Juliana Young has been working with older adults and their families in the home care field, helping them navigate the changes that come with aging and setting up the right services to support independence at home. Her passion for this work began with her own family's experience—when her parents hired a home care company, they witnessed firsthand the power of caregivers to bring companionship, engagement, and dignity to daily life. About six years ago, she discovered the world of intergenerational communication after hearing a podcast that explored creative ways to connect older adults and youth. That moment sparked her curiosity—and ultimately inspired her to help bridge generations through meaningful conversation and shared experiences.Thanks to show sponsor BookShark.
