About this listen
What if the stories we share in the first six years of life shape our children’s inner world far more than we realize?
In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, I share why I’ve chosen to skip mainstream children’s media—Disney movies, high-drama shows, and early romance storylines—and how this decision came from following my intuition as a mother. I talk openly about the common Disney themes of parental loss, villains stealing power, and premature romance, and why I don’t want those to be the first archetypes my daughter carries in her imagination.
We’ll explore perspectives from Waldorf and Montessori education, research on early childhood development and screen time, and what science tells us about how stories affect a child’s subconscious mind. I also share what we do instead: gentle picture books, slow storytelling, and songs that nurture wonder and connection.
This conversation isn’t about judgment—it’s about re-imagining what childhood could look like in a world where we are more conscious of the stories we plant in our children’s hearts.
