Little by Little Homeschool - Christian Homeschooling and Motherhood – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Just when I think there could not be anything I haven't answered already, you show up with new questions! And I love it!

Let's tackle a few questions submitted by homeschool moms, just like you. These topics cover homeschooling a strong-willed child, how many children to have, and broaching the discussion with your doctor about homeschooling.

I promise to share my honest thoughts and then, I want you to consider your own circumstances and pray for clarity to determine where you stand.

371. How To Truly Enjoy Being With Your Homeschool Children 

The one constant in life is that it will change. And one day, you will find yourself at the end of your homeschool years and wonder what is next.

It can suddenly sneak up on you, mostly because homeschool moms should be die-hard until the end, pouring their heart into it until the very last day. I've heard from moms who were caught off guard by this sudden shift. And I don't want you to feel like the rug was pulled out from under you.

Whether you are in year one, the middle of your homeschool career, or about to graduate your final teen in a few months, my hope is that this episode gives you hope and equips you to step into the next season with peace.

Warm up that cup of coffee again and let's chat!

All the time and effort you put into homeschooling and you probably wonder if what you're doing is worth it. What will your children say someday about these days and years once they have graduated?

Today, I am offering a rare glimpse into some feedback that I received from my graduated homeschoolers. Like you, I questioned what I was doing and if they would even appreciate it someday.

I hope today's episode gives you a little peek into your future, a few ideas, and a little more steam to keep on going.

It's so easy to get caught up in all the things you think you need to do in your homeschool with young children. Often, that is influenced by what school is doing. But, what if the basics are actually the foundation for the success in future academics?

Jennifer Pepito of The Peaceful Press is sharing what you really need to focus on in today's episode. She's using her extensive experience, along with studies that show what young children really need in their homeschool.

And it's nothing complicated or overwhelming. It really comes down to focusing on the basics and Jennifer will share what those are and how to actually accomplish this.

Grab your favorite cozy drink and be ready for some serious mic drops!

Every day is full of choices on how to spend your time as a homeschool mom. Some lead to positive outcomes. Some to what appears to be benign results. And others don't add anything good to your days.

After all the years of raising babies up through young adults, I know what it's like to want days that overall are just better. I've tried all the things, but mastering specific times in my day has had the biggest impact on our homeschool days.

You'd think that it was the curriculum or the amazing educational resources that you use that determines a day. Yes, those can add good things. But, let me share what will move the needle forward much faster and help you to accomplish those good homeschool goals.

Grab a pen and paper because I have a few things you'll want to jot down!

You've heard that it's a good idea to teach your homeschool children character. And you're convinced that it will be a good use of your time. But, where do you start?

Today's guest, Marilyn Boyer, from Character Concepts has been helping parents instill character traits and qualities into homeschooled children for years. And she has combined that with her love of history and storytelling to help show your children what character looks like through the lives of historical figures.

Marilyn and her husband began homeschooling before it was technically legal and quickly found that success in academics and relationships came from sharing God and the character He desires to grow in us.  Let's do the same in your family!

Calling all homeschool mom's who have been met with resistance when teaching a child writing skills! I know you've got your hand raised on that one. And if you don't, well, maybe give it a little more time. Lol!

But for those of you who have had one too many writing lessons end in tears, I know how you feel. Through my years of homeschooling multiple children, I've encountered many different situations.

Today's episode shares some "secrets" I've learned, along with permission to trust the process and your children more than you think you can. 

I am excited about how these ideas will give new life to your homeschool!

Most of homeschool is done within the confines of our own homes and families. But, it sure feels good to know that you are not alone. And not only that, but you have people who will have your back and are there to support you.

Having homeschool friends and community is such a blessing. It truly can be a gift. And it should be those things and not a burden or unnecessary drama. That's where finding like-minded families is key.

But where are they hiding?

I have a few tips to help you meet and create some beautiful friendships!

Questioning your ability to homeschool probably happens often. Maybe on a weekly basis. Possibly even daily.

You've taken on what is seen as a unique responsibility in our culture. Everyone else just puts their kids on the bus or joins the carpool line and they just assume that their children will be educated properly.

But, homeschooling is different because the entire 360 degree view of life is included and you often wonder if things are going well and if you're on the right track.

I have 3 easy ways to take the temperature of your homeschool. Listen in for these and then measure your own homeschool against it. But, have no fear! There is always a solution to get you on the right track!
