DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint   When you become a parent there are suddenly many decisions to be made. And some of those are seen as "controversial" within the culture you are raising your children. Our 3 homeschooled children are all older now and can see the value in the decisions that my husband and I made. It wasn't always easy at the time to stick with our convictions, but the pay off has been amazing. My list may be the same as you, slightly different, or completely different. And that is totally fine! The goal is to encourage you to parent intentionally and share what worked for us. ♥ Leigh     ASK YOUR QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED ON THE PODCAST: https://bit.ly/homeschoolquestion   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome    GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE TICKETS:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal         Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 137.

Sometimes, you can't quite put a finger on what that is. But, today, we're going to explore family culture. You have one. And so does everyone else.  I have a list of questions that are foundational for unpacking your unique family culture. Grab a pen and paper to write these down. Then afterwards, take some time to answer these questions to get to the heart of your family culture. Your family is essential to your homeschool and when you understand who you are at the core, it makes leaning into your unique homeschool so much easier. ♥ Leigh     TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY CONVENTION: https://teachthemdiligently.net/invite/leigh.nguyen/   LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE TICKETS:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome      Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 175.

DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint     Homeschooling is about way more than school academics. It's creating a relationship that welcomes open dialogue and discussion about anything and everything. One of those topics should be our bodies and how we can take care of them well. And that includes our pelvic floor.  Today's guest is Jenn Lormand of Tighten Your Tinkler and we are specifically focusing on sharing all about pelvic floor health with your daughter.  Many of us weren't taught about this and had to quickly learn after a health crisis or bothersome symptoms. Our goal in this episode is to equip you with some actionable information so that you can begin to teach your daughter how to be proactive in her health. As we mention in the beginning of this episode, it is rated G, but you may want to listen with ear buds or when your children aren't around so that you may gather information and dispense it as is appropriate for your family. ♥ Leigh   TIGHTEN YOUR TINKLER WEBSITE: https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com/  COURSE (USE CODE LITTLE50 TO SAVE $50!):  https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com/signatureprogram 5 Minute Root Cause Quiz (for moms): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6YGTYNF Resource page: https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com/support Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tighten.your.tinkler/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tightenyourtinkler         CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome    LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE TICKETS:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal       Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 34.

But, the summer typically means a bit of a break from academics for homeschool families. The curriculum is great, but if you child is not prepared for the world when they step out on their own, they'll have a lot of catching up to do, no matter what level of math they achieved, the science experiments you did, or the classic books they've read. Don't get me wrong, those things are fine. But, there is more to life than book knowledge.  There is real life where they'll need to know how to interact, get along with, and function well with others, if for no other reason than for their Christian witness. I'm hoping you have a little more brain space with your usual routine set aside for the summer to focus on teaching and growing soft skills in your homeschooler of any age. I've got a lot of ideas for you...pick 1 or 2 that seem the most important and see how you can be intentional this summer! ♥ Leigh       LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE TICKETS:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome      Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 131.

And then let's throw in the homeschool element and the lines can be drawn. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, I think we can all agree that homeschool families should be intentional about how they spend their time.

Let's have a friendly conversation about it and weigh the pros and cons so you can make a decision that aligns best with your family.

But then, we realize that so much else is important in our parenting and the home education years. One topic that keeps coming up lately, even in conversations with my grown children, is the balance between rules and relationship with parents and children. And we can easily default to focusing on one over the other. But, in raising our children and reading tons of books, along with the guidance in Scripture, James and I have worked hard to find that balance. Today's episode scratches the surface of this topic and I hope that it is an encouragement for you to lean in to where God is calling you to make adjustments in parenting your homeschool children. ♥ Leigh   RECEIVE LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE UPDATES: https://littlebylittlehomeschoolconference.subscribemenow.com/   LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE INFO:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome      Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 10.

But, how do we respond within Christian circles to the scrutiny against homeschooling? Is there any evidence to back-up what we're seeing within the four walls of our own homes? Israel Wayne, of Family Renewal, has been educating home educators for decades. He combines his knowledge of Scripture with the actual data, along with his lived experience to equip homeschool parents to disciple their children. Not only that, but he seeks to provide you with data and evidence to graciously, but confidently refute arguments against homeschooling. There are two main claims that Christians will often use against homeschooling. He refutes both of those, along with telling us why so many Christian parents refuse to homeschool their children.

But, there is so much more to these years than the lessons. Whether it's pressure from your homeschool state regulations, your own school experience, or voices of family and friends, most of the focus is on creating the modern school system within your home. The methodology and mindset creeps in easily. But what if homeschool was about something much more than lessons, multiplication tables, essays, and transcripts? That would mean you are missing out on something huge if you only focus on those. Let's bust the notion that homeschool needs to be solely about subjects and what lessons were accomplished this week.
