Do you have a toddler who climbs up the bookshelves, eats crayons, rips the pages from books, screams when not the center of your attention, and generally makes your homeschool into daily chaos? No? Maybe it’s just us. But on the off-chance there are other poor souls out there juggling homeschooling while caring for a younger sibling, today we share our wins, the strategies and techniques that help us to meet our homeschool goals and still meet the needs of the younger child, and how we’ve achieved family harmony (most of the time!)

Episode 49: Homeschooling Journeys: Shannon Demiter Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

Today we sit down with Shannon Demiter, a hard-working mother homeschooling her three children, to discuss her journey and how she ensures that the individual needs of her children are met while maintaining a working farm and on-call small business. Shannon reminds us that so much is possible each day with a good plan, flexibility to change that plan, and a focus on why you’ve chosen to homeschool. Keeping that purpose ever-present helps to navigate the ups and downs of this dynamic way of life.
