Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today I speak on a topic that has always been important to Nathan and I. It's one that many parents may place on the back burner as we just try to juggle every day life of parenting and responsibilities. We all need to have a big picture of where we would like to see our life headed...on a personal as well as on a family level. Parenting never quite slows down regardless of us thinking, 'maybe in the next stage, I'll find more time'. Instead we need to change our mindset and think, 'how can we make this work?' What shifts need to occur when I know this can bring a greater good?So grab a seat by the fire as I discuss the importance of keeping our inner flame burning!If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice.We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have.Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show NotesHomeschool Consulting Services with Anita:Homeschool Consulting Services – The Homeschool Project PodcastOther Episodes you may enjoy:E96: Running A Successful Business and Homeschool- https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/9298812Ongoing Community Support:Homeschool Consulting Services with Anita:Homeschool Consulting Services – The Homeschool Project PodcastOur Free Homeschool Getting Started Packet: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/guide-to-getting-started-packet-1.pdfOur Free Ultimate Family Camping / Outdoor Checklist: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/camping-checklist-2.pdfThe Waldock Way: https://www.thewaldockway.com/ref/76/Wild Learning Curriculum: https://discoverwildlearning.com/?ref=927All About Reading: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.net/go.php?id=2109"We are a participant in an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to affiliated sites."

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have two certified teachers joining us for the conversation, both of which are my sisters. Emily is a homeschool mom to 3 young boys with several years of experience, teaching at the Elementary level.  And Paulette is mom to two and currently still teaches at the upper grade levels and has been for the past 15 years.This is an episode from last year but we felt the topic is encouraging as well as one that is important. It stems from the common doubts we have in homeschooling our children. What if I fail my child? Can I do this? Am I qualified? Aren't the schools more equipped to educate my child? We have assumptions when it comes to many of these questions that aren't always true.So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to Florida to debunk some of these doubts and fears!If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice. We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have. Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Ongoing Community Support:Our Free Homeschool Getting Started Packet: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/guide-to-getting-started-packet-1.pdfOur Free Ultimate Family Camping / Outdoor Checklist: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/camping-checklist-2.pdfThe Waldock Way: https://www.thewaldockway.com/ref/76/Wild Learning Curriculum: https://discoverwildlearning.com/?ref=927All About Reading: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.net/go.php?id=2109"We are a participant in an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to affiliated sites."

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Jen Myers joining us. Jen is an entrepreneur, founder of Homeschool CEO, and longtime homeschool mom. Over the past 17 years, she has homeschooled 4 kids while building 3 multi-six figure businesses. It all started in 2004, when her life came to a crossroads. The traditional school system wasn't working for her family, and their second grader and preschooler needed more than the school system could provide.Back then, homeschooling wasn't even on their radar and they had a thriving automotive repair shop. Was it even possible to be successful at BOTH homeschooling and entrepreneurship? Through a crazy turn of events, Jen decided to try out homeschooling. She quickly learned that running both the business and homeschool was possible AND she didn't have to feel guilty about it.  That's why Homeschool CEO was created. To connect, empower, and inspire women who are building more than a side hustle, all while educating the next generation of leaders, who will change the world.So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to Iowa and discuss how you can homeschool and build a wildly successful business AT THE SAME TIME! Quick reminder.

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Erin Loechner joining us. Erin is a bestselling author, founder of Other Goose, and homeschooling mom of 3. After traveling the world and searching for an all-inclusive classroom that valued play, freedom, and structure, Erin discovered the solution in her own backyard: homeschooling.But when the time came to choose an educational plan for her kids under the age of 7, the search wasn't so simple. Where was the methodology that valued all philosophies of learning? Where was the boxed curriculum that didn't box out the parent? Where was the simple homeschooling strategy that held space for open-ended discovery?Other Goose was born from these questions. Together with a team of thought-leaders, childhood development experts, research scholars, and environmentalists, Erin welcomes all learners. So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to the Midwest to discuss simple and fun homeschooling for the early years!Quick reminder.

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Robyn Robertson, from Honey I'm Homeschooling The Kids,  joining us.  Robyn is an unschooling mom to two kids, member of her local school board trustee, and advocate for self-directed learning. Growing up, Robyn lived and travelled to different countries. She knew that her early travel experience had given her a viewpoint on life unlike many others around her. As a mom, she wanted to share that with her growing family. After years of “dreaming” with her husband to leave the rat race and return to a life of travel and more family time, they decided that waiting “until...” would never happen and they took the plunge.They spent the next several years traveling the world. At first, their decision to homeschool was solely for the purpose of travel. However, that quickly evolved into more.It was the many experiences of life and travel that changed their idea of learning. Robyn started to let go and allowed her kids' natural curiosity to shine. Their education has become an eclectic mix of many styles, but mainly unschooling.So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to Alberta, Canada and discuss the beauty and freedom of raising self-directed learners and how it can help build family connection!If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice.We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have.Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show NotesRobyn's website: Home - Honey, I'm Homeschooling The Kids (imhomeschooling.com)Podcast: Honey I'm Homeschooling The Kids podcastRobyn can be found on Facebook and Instagram:  @ honeyimhomeschoolingthekidsClubhouse: Honey I'm Homeschooling ClubBooks Mentioned:Project-Based Homeschooling by Lori Pickert - https://amzn.to/3CtAfPXSelf-Determination Theory by Ryan & Deci - https://amzn.to/3lK8I6UFree To Learn by Peter Gray - https://amzn.to/3fIQ4bXThe Alchemist by Paulo Coelho - https://amzn.to/3yxoXIlIf you enjoyed this interview, you may also like our conversations with:Dr. Peter Gray on Episode 61    https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/7701526Dr. David Lancy on Episode 76   https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/8563942Bryanna (a radical unschooling and roadschooling parent) on Episode 50  https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/6424957Ongoing Community Support:Wild Learning Curriculum - https://discoverwildlearning.com/?ref=927All About Reading: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.net/go.php?id=2109The Music Podcast for Kids Learning Package - https://themusicpodcastforkids.podia.com/premiumvoulumone/wguqi"We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites."

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we are replaying an episode we felt would be perfect not only as we celebrate our Independence Day, but also to go along with our Home Education Series. We have found a lot of families are asking about the different options available for their teens after graduation. College is not the only option, nor is it for everyone. So today we talk about a career in the military and some of the requirements to join.  We try to speak generally since all services are different and everyone's experiences differ.  I'm sure we missed something but we tried to hit on the important areas. If you do have a teen, stay tuned for more episodes later in the series.  We will have guests on to speak about homeschooling highschool as well as transitioning to college for those who chose that path. So grab a seat by the fire as we discuss what the military path can look like and the benefits it has brought for our family.If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice.We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have.Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show NotesMilitary Branches with Links - https://www.todaysmilitary.com/about-military/service-branchesJRTOC for Homeschoolers - https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/12/19/defense-bill-requires-local-jrotc-programs-to-admit-homeschooled-students/ROTC (College) - https://www.todaysmilitary.com/education-training/rotc-programsService Academies - https://getschooled.com/article/2411-get-to-know-the-five-service-academies/Mazzaro's (Stop in if your in St. Petersburg, Fl) - https://www.mazzarosmarket.com/Ceviche (Also in St. Petersburg, Fl) Amazing food and one of the greatest Spanish guitar players you will hear - https://ceviche.com/

David is an Emeritus Professor of Anthropology.  He began college teaching at Cuttington College in the interior of Liberia in 1968 and subsequently taught at a Community College and at three universities.  Dr. Lancy has authored 5 books and his current research interests center on the anthropology of childhood. He has done fieldwork with children as the focus for extended periods in Liberia, Papua New Guinea and Mormon Utah; for shorter periods in Trinidad (Fullbright Fellow), Sweden (Fullbright Fellow), Uganda, Madagascar, and in urban schools in the U.S. We discuss childhood in the indigenous cultures  versus the WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) society. David points out that in the village, youth have great autonomy and learning bouts are self-initiated rather than teacher or caretaker initiated. Learning is woven into the flow of daily life versus being encapsulated in formal lessons.So grab a seat by the fire  as we travel to Utah to speak to him about the lost art of self education and the anthropology of childhood learning!If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice.We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have.Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show NotesYou can find all of David's work at his website: David F.
