In a world of constant noise and distraction, many homeschool families sense the need for something that roots children in attention, wonder, and belonging. Nature study offers that steadying influence. This workshop explores why regular time outdoors forms not only knowledge, but character. When children learn to observe, their powers of attention deepen, their affections awaken, and a quiet confidence grows. With warmth and practicality, Sheila Carroll will offer simple ways to establish nature study as a sustaining rhythm—on open acreage or in the suburbs. Participants will leave ready to help their children rediscover the peace found in the living world.
