Stay ConnectedHomeschooling is easier when you have a sister by your side.
Since 2016, and with over 1.6 million downloads worldwide, The Homeschool Sisters Podcast has been dedicated to supporting sisters across all walks of life. We are here to support you (and cheer you on!) as you raise your wildly unique children and teens.
In this week's episode, the sisters are answering two listener questions - about strong-willed kids and kiddos who need to move.
Cait and Kara have experience with both (um, wink), so they share what has worked in their own homes, book suggestions and ways to keep your kids learning, even if they need tons of movement.
If you feel like you're clashing with a strong-willed child, or you have one that hops up so often that chasing them counts as cardio, this episode is for you!
The sisters are sharing their favorite cozy tips in this hyggeschooling replay!
Hygge doesn’t have a direct translation into English, but the closest word is probably coziness. So in this episode, the sisters are talking twinkle lights, cocoa, books, games, recipes and other ways to slow down your homeschool and embrace the most hyggeligt time of year.
The sisters are joined by author Melissa Camara Wilkins today to talk about her fantastic new book, Permission Granted.
Cait, Kara and Melissa are talking why we so often feel like we need permission in the first place, how releasing ourselves from perfection helps release our kids too, and more.
Melissa's book is available now wherever books are sold, and it's definitely a Sisters favorite!
The sisters are joined this week by one of their favorite adventurers, Greta Eskridge!
Cait, Kara and Greta talk adventure, a bit about the myth of balance, and Greta's homeschool challenges as an extrovert and Enneagram 7.
She also shares a peek inside her local adventure club, and why she decided years ago to make weekly outdoor excursions a priority in her homeschool.
Plus, you know that Greta has a book on the way, right?! #happydance
The sisters are so thrilled to welcome Cindy West to this episode.
Cindy is a homeschool mom of three who has loved nature pretty much her whole life, and now creates fantastic products and classes to help parents learn about nature with their kids.
Cindy, Cait and Kara discuss easy ways to add intention to nature walks, how Cindy's own homeschool nature study has developed over the years and what to do about nature journaling if you have a kiddo who really wants their trees to look like trees ... wink.
This one is for parents new to nature study, those who want to beef-up their outdoor time, and even those who don't think they are "nature" types, i.e., one of the sisters ;)
