• 311. Your Homeschool Children Are Unique From Each Other: The Approach You Need To Teach Boys And Girls Differently
    Nov 21 2024

    One of the top reasons that moms are scared to homeschool is that she doesn't know how to teach her children of different ages and gender. She looks at the school system and it makes sense to separate children, at least by age. But, looking at her every day is a mixture of boys and girls and various ages.

    Instead of seeing this as a negative, homeschool moms can actually provide an amazing education based upon the uniqueness of a family.

    Do you feel intimated or overwhelmed with homeschooling your boys and girls? I felt the same way, but learned through the years how to optimize this instead of being anxious about it.

    Grab a notebook and get ready to make some really great changes to your homeschool!

  • 310. My Best Advice For Raising Boys Of All Ages And What To Do With Bad Attitudes In The Teen Years
    Nov 18 2024

    Every child has been created by God with a uniqueness, but there tends to be a few overarching themes when they are separated by gender.

    It can become easy to be frustrated with boy behavior. They tend to puzzle us as homeschoool moms. But, what if instead of seeing what they do as an annoyance, we look at it differently?

    Today, I am sharing my top tips that I've learned and employed as a homeschool mom to grow my boys into young men and not just merely survive, but to thrive as their mother.

    Find a few moments of quiet or put on those noise canceling headphones and get ready to look at your boys differently after this episode.

  • 308. What You Should Actually Teach Your Homeschool Child: Keep Education Simple And Think Outside The Box
    Nov 11 2024

    It seems like everywhere you turn, someone is adding to the list of subjects to cover in your homeschool. And those are all really great courses of study and enrichment, but maybe they're not right for you.

    Simplicity is calling your name. And you'd rather get really good at a few subjects and topics than try to cover everything.

    Let's link arms and pare down the list to make it more manageable. And we'll let the cherry on top be the idea of thinking outside the box because not every area of study can fit neatly in a box...or time block.

  • 304. My Unofficial Poll And The Trend I've Observed Towards Quitting Homeschool: When, Who, And Why
    Oct 28 2024

    No one starts something with the intention of quitting. And that especially applies towards parents making decisions about their children. Of course, homeschooling is included in that!

    So, if no one plans to quit, why are there numbers of families doing just that? Could your family be next?

    Over the past decade, I've observed a few trends and one of them is the when, who, and why behind walking away from homeschooling. I thought that this should be brought to light and openly discussed so that you can combat this possibility on a personal level.

    Let's break it down and see what exactly leads to quitting, but then I've got hope for you to stay the course...I promise not to leave you hanging with bad news!
