| Providing Your Homeschooler Possibilities with the START Approach (with Elan Page) | S3 EP8 | 20 May 2024 | 00:28:48 | |
One of the reasons you started homeschooling is likely because your child needs to see a positive and helpful template for what they can become by committing to themselves and their learning. I sat down with Elan Page to discuss how you, as your child’s main role model, can break generational unhealthy belief patterns and provide something better for your child. You can show them through homeschooling what their limitless potential makes them capable of through a simple S.T.A.R.T. method. Listen to Elan’s free START Homeschooling audio training series.

| How To Maintain Family Connection When Not All Children Want To Be Homeschooled (with Shannon Biancamano) | S3 EP7 | 13 May 2024 | 00:34:50 | |
Sometimes the best choice for one child is different than the best choice for another child! Sometimes the best choice for now isn't always the best choice in the future. How can you, as a mom, cultivate family connection and unity when only some of the children are homeschooled and others are in a classroom? I sat down with Shannon Biancamano, a seasoned homeschooling mom who has found a way to stay connected with each child, and keep them connected with eachother, despite her oldest staying in the classroom when the rest started homeschooling.

| Is your child questioning you in your homeschool? Why it's actually a WIN! | S1 EP6 | 05 Feb 2024 | 00:13:54 | |
It all comes down to knowing and homeschooling in alignment with your purpose. In this episode, I will break down how to create your own homeschool purpose statement — and this is so much more than just WHY you're homeschooling! Now, if your purpose includes critical thinking, you can start to view moments of questioning and defiance as an area you are trying to grow your child in. Instead of getting upset, now you can start to guide how they share their thinking. Homeschool Purpose: [what you do] + [what they learn to do] + so they can [value] Connect with Natalie: | |||

For Season 4, I’m bringing together top homesteading and homeschooling thought leaders to show how to weave homeschooling into the homesteading lifestyle. As a homesteading and homeschooling mom myself, the #1 aspect that keeps coming up (tell me if you agree)… is that there is not enough time to do it all. And you know that the solution is to combine homeschooling into your homesteading activities, but it can be hard to pinpoint how to do this effectively. I mean, a simpler lifestyle doesn’t always mean that things are faster or easier… That’s why you are going to hear from multiple perspectives this season around a whole host of topics that weave together homeschooling and homesteading. Today, we’ll be kicking things off with experiential learning, and then you’ll hear about topics such as: how to teach children off grid, holistic health and nutrition, farm fitness, age appropriate chore delegation, of course what children learn from chicken keeping, and even MORE.
