Homeschool Our Way with Elan Page - How to Start Homeschool, Moms of Color, Black Homeschool Families

Brand new homeschool families tend to share a lot of the same concerns: what is my homeschool supposed to “look like”, and how do I start putting it together? So if that sounds like you, don't worry! The truth is that you have far more freedom in creating your family's homeschool than you might realize. And today, I want to give you permission to use it.

Have we been asking the wrong question all along? In this episode, I'm exploring the idea that when a child isn't thriving, the question isn't always “how can we change the child?”. It may just require taking a closer look at their learning environment. In this episode, we explore: Why a child can be doing everything "right" on paper and still be quietly losing their love of learning The real reason some kids seem to completely transform, and why it has nothing to do with effort How to tell the difference between a child who's struggling and a child who's simply out of alignment Ready to explore what homeschooling could look like for your family?

I'm giving you a real framework to think through what your family actually needs going into next year. In this episode, we explore: The question most moms are afraid to ask themselves at the end of a school year — and why answering it honestly is the most important thing you can do right now. How to tell the difference between something that's just an inconvenience and something that's actually worth changing Why "school" isn't just one option — and what it looks like to reimagine the possibilities for your child.
