Episode 363: Get On The Floor Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

As busy homeschool parents, sometimes we find that we’re just going through the motions, moving from one subject or activity to another without getting that depth of connection and response from our kids that we’re seeking. Today we’re reminded that we get out what we put in and discussing ways to be more present and engaged on our homeschooling journey.

Episode 359: (Encore) The Over-Scheduled Homeschooler (ep263) Dec 25, 2023

Show notes

Holiday Encore Episode

People outside of homeschooling circles often have a vision of homeschoolers who are gathered around the dining room table learning all day. This is rarely the case. Typically we can be just as busy, if not more busy, than traditionally schooled kids. Without the mandated school day to get in the way, we find lots of other ways to fill our time. From clubs, to sports, to enrichment classes and meetups, homeschoolers are often on the go a lot! Today we’ll talk about how to recognize when you’re overscheduled and how to find the right balance.
