Have you wondered what the best approach to educating your preschooler is? In this episode, we delve into the crucial preschool years and the essential aspects that lay the foundation for educational success.Rachel and Carole emphasize the importance of viewing preschool as a time for bonding, laying the foundation for future success, and fostering a love for learning through work, service, and study. They recommend focusing on life skills, character development, and nurturing attachment and bonding with children during these early years, rather than early academics. Join us as we encourage parents to listen to their intuition and to enjoy these sweet and formative years.RESOURCES+$10 Preschool Interview with Carole and J.J. +Click here for a complete list of books mentioned in this episode+Buy some of our favorite books here! 10 Of Those + $1 shipping!+Build Your Family's Library: Grab our FREE book list here+Get our FREE ebook: 5 Essential Parts of a Great Education.+Attend one of our upcoming seminars this year!+Click HERE for more information about consulting with Carole Joy Seid!CONNECTHomeschool Made Simple | Website | Seminars | Instagram | Facebook | PinterestMentioned in this episode:Musical Lessons in Your Home: Voetberg Music Academy Use code HOMESCHOOL20 for 20% off lessonsVoetberg Music Academy

For some kids, homeschooling provides them with the one-on-one attention they need. For others, though, it can feel isolating. Author Stefan Merrill Block joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why his mother, adoring but complicated, thought public school would kill his creativity, how his daily curriculum was left up to him as a small boy to craft, and how he thinks of homeschooling today. His book is “Homeschooled: A Memoir.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In this episode of LiberatED, Kerry McDonald speaks with Kalecia Simmons, founder of The Black Homeschools, about how one parent's search for support grew into a thriving homeschooling community serving more than 1,100 Black families across the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area—and beyond. Kalecia shares her personal journey homeschooling her eight children, the early challenges that motivated her to create a space specifically for African American homeschoolers, and the persistence it took to build trust and momentum—from park meetups with no attendees to massive field trips and events. She explains how The Black Homeschools has evolved into a resource hub offering curriculum guidance, coaching, enrichment classes, NCAA athletics support, and college preparation, all rooted in community and cultural connection. The conversation also explores the broader rise in Black homeschooling, shifting perceptions of homeschooling as a viable and respected educational path, and Kalecia's ambitious vision for the future—including expansion. This episode is an inspiring look at what's possible when parents trust themselves and build the communities their children—and others—need. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

I'm re-releasing this episode because it's still one of my all-time favorites—and honestly, one of the conversations that stayed with me long after we hit stop on the recording. In this episode, I'm joined by Kiri Jorgensen, a former public school teacher in rural Montana and mom of four. Kiri shares what she saw changing inside the school system—from Common Core and high-stakes testing to increasing bureaucracy—and why her family chose to homeschool their youngest child after experiencing both public school and homeschooling.We also get practical: Kiri explains a simple framework that helps parents homeschool with confidence—separating “learning” (reading, writing, math) from “learning about” (curiosity-led unit studies). She shares her favorite strategy (the “curiosity jar”) to turn your child's questions into meaningful learning without recreating school at home.Finally, Kiri talks about her work as the founder of Chicken Scratch Books, a publisher creating clean, traditional middle grade fiction for families who want books they can trust.In this episode, we cover:Why Kiri left teaching and what she noticed shifting in schoolsCommon Core, testing pressure, and how it affects classroomsWhy homeschooling can take less time and lead to deeper learningThe “curiosity jar” method for interest-led homeschoolingBuilding lifelong learners and confident, capable kidsChicken Scratch Books and choosing better middle grade readsGuest: Kiri Jorgensen Website: chickenscratchbooks.comFollow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with a parent who needs reassurance today.Mentioned in today's episode:

The language used in teaching must be common to the teacher and the learner.In this fourth episode of our series on John Milton Gregory's Seven Laws of Teaching, Ryan Gilmore is joined by beloved grammar school teacher and department head Brooke Peyton to explore the Law of the Language. Together they reflect on why shared meaning, clear definitions, and patient communication are essential to real learning and true formation. Drawing from classroom experience and homeschooling contexts, the conversation highlights how misunderstanding often hides beneath apparent attention and why teachers must intentionally “catch” confusion before it takes root. This episode invites teachers and parent co-teachers alike to see language not just as a tool for instruction, but as a vital means of shaping understanding, community, and wisdom.Free PDF of The Seven Laws of Teaching by John Milton Gregory through Veritas Press! https://www.oakgroveclassical.com/https://www.instagram.com/oakgroveclassicalacademy/https://www.facebook.com/OakGroveClassical/https://naumsinc.org/ https://classicalchristian.org/

If you've ever felt frustrated when your child resists even enjoyable activities, you're not alone. In this week's episode, we dive deep into demand avoidance—why neurodivergent kiddos sometimes just can't do what we ask (even when it's fun!)—and share a toolkit of practical strategies you can start using today. Whether you're homeschooling a differently wired kiddo or navigating daily learning resistance, this episode is packed with actionable tips, real-life examples, and mindset shifts to help your child build skills in a low-pressure way.   Key Takeaways: Lowering the Demand Doesn't Mean Lowering Expectations: There are ways to keep skill-building alive by focusing on autonomy, shared activities, and embedding learning into interest-driven projects—think Minecraft math or Pokemon writing prompts! Frameworks That Work: Use the ABC method—Autonomy, Boundaries, and Co-regulation—along with the REI model (Reduce, Invite, Embed) to create a safer, more engaging learning environment for your demand-avoidant child. Small Wins & Language Swaps: Celebrate tiny, finishable tasks and swap "You need to…" for invitations or curiosity-based questions, making participation more appealing and less threatening to your child's autonomy. From stealth learning strategies and flexible routines to troubleshooting meltdowns and perfectionism, these insights are a breath of fresh air for parents and educators alike.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

So… I did a thing. I decided to homeschool my son this year. And before you picture me color-coding lesson plans and building a chicken coop, hear me out - this decision came straight from my heart. Every child thrives differently, and over the summer, we realized that our youngest really needed something more individualized… more one-on-one. As a former teacher, I saw the signs - he was starting to slip through the cracks. And when he asked to be homeschooled, I just couldn't say no. But as I started researching curriculums and joining homeschool communities, something really stood out - so many moms want to homeschool but feel like they can't afford to. They want to be home, but they still need to help provide. And that's when it hit me - what I've built with digital products on Etsy is exactly what so many of these families are searching for. A way to teach their kids, be present, and still contribute financially - without sacrificing their sanity. So in today's episode, I'm opening up about our decision to homeschool, how I've built a business that gives me this freedom, and how you can do it too. Because yes - homeschooling and income can absolutely coexist… peacefully and purposefully. xo, Jacqueline | LEARN FROM ME | Etsy Profits PRO - Course + Coaching Program www.jacqueline-butler.com/etsyprofitspro  Canva Crash Course www.jacqueline-butler.com/canva  Midjourney Beginner's Guide & 130+ Prompts www.jacqueline-butler.com/midjourney    | OTHER STEPS | Join My Email List & Get a FREEBIE! www.jacqueline-butler.com/freeguide  FREE 5-Step Starter Guide: www.jacqueline-butler.com/starterguide  FREE Facebook Community: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freegroup  Website: www.jacqueline-butler.com  Get In Touch: jb@jacqueline-butler.com  Instagram: www.instagram.com/jacquelinebutler.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jacquelinebutler.co  TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@jacquelinebutler.co | MY FAVE RESEARCH TOOLS | eRank https://erank.com?fpr=jackie31  Insight Factory https://insightfactory.app/  Alura https://www.alura.io/?via=jacqueline

Join Delise Germond as she sits down with Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations and homeschool dad of three, for an engaging conversation about family legacy, educational freedom, and his new book Woke and Weaponized. Robert shares his personal journey from being one of the first 11 students in Classical Conversations to leading the organization for over 13 years. He opens up about the family values that shaped him—hard work, self-discipline, and carrying the family name with honor—and how he's now passing these principles to his own children through practical strategies like job cards instead of allowances and teaching them to work before they play. The conversation dives deep into Robert's extensively researched book, co-authored with award-winning journalist Alex Newman, which traces the historical roots of public education from Robert Owen's "Trinity of Evil" through Prussia to modern-day America. Discover the surprising truth about who's really funding the school choice movement and why educational independence matters now more than ever. Robert also explains what it means to become "anti-fragile" as a family—rejecting consumerism, living within your means, and building resilience that doesn't depend on government systems. Whether you're a homeschooling parent, educator, pastor, or anyone concerned about educational freedom, this conversation offers both warning and hope for raising the next generation to know God and make Him known. This episode of Everyday Educator is sponsored by:  Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education—And How We Can Win It Back – A new book written by Robert Bortins and Alex Newman.  Discover the shocking truth about how current education reform efforts may actually accelerate the destruction of educational freedom. Through meticulous research, Woke and Weaponized traces the philosophical roots of educational corruption from Robert Owen and John Dewey to critical race theory, while offering practical strategies for families ready to pursue genuine educational independence.

The homeschool world can feel like the wild west… loud opinions, confident hot takes, and advice from strangers who know nothing about your kid, your goals, or your reality. In this episode, we unpack the problem with crowd-sourced homeschool advice, why confidence online is not the same thing as competence, and how fear, isolation, and misinformation leave parents second-guessing themselves. From questionable curriculum claims to panic-inducing academic myths, we talk about how to cut through the noise, identify red and green flags in homeschool guidance, and find support that's thoughtful, accountable, and actually useful… for every stage of the homeschool journey.We'd love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

Homeschooling is exploding across the US, while public school enrollments fall. The state's response? $1 billion toward systems like homeschooling vouchers. Kevin and Danny discuss the problems of "free money"…becoming dependent on government rather than God…how funding inevitably leads to regulation and control…the precautionary history of countries like Sweden and the UK…and the danger of Title IX applying to any education funded by government money.

From the hilarious "Mandela Effect" debates to a touching look at the importance of "mitigating damages" at home, this episode is a masterclass in staying 1% better even when the air hurts your face. Support the showFollow us on social media: Dave Wheeler Candace Rae

A former public school teacher never planned to homeschool — until COVID forced a hard reset. In this episode, Cheryl talks with Janae Daniels from the School to Homeschool Podcast about the moment everything changed: the “magical” 2020 shutdown, the surprising nudge to homeschool, and the first day that completely fell apart… until a piano tuner accidentally delivered the best real-life science lesson her kids had ever experienced.Janae shares what deschooling actually looks like (and why it's harder for parents than kids), how she stopped trying to replicate school at home, and what happened when her children finally had room for boredom, curiosity, and real learning: guitar skills built through YouTube lessons, reading for meaning (not grades), embroidery that turned into paid work, early jobs, business books, conferences, and a senior year centered on debate, confidence, and entrepreneurship.If you're thinking, “I'm not smart enough,” “My kids will fight me,” or “Is it too late to start homeschooling — especially for middle and high school?” this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and a new definition of education.Connect with Janae:InstagramFacebookYouTubeWebsiteFollow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with a parent who needs reassurance today.Mentioned in today's episode: 

Homeschooling is one of the most important movements happening in America today. The public school systems have moved from training camps for obedient workers to indoctrination camps for communism and Marxism. Children must be taken out of public schools not only for their own sake but for the sake of the nation. The final part of today's show is an interview with a young children's author whose book is well suited for home schooling. It is designed to help children embrace God and make faith part of their lives.

Today, my homeschooler gets accepted to university—his preferred program for the fall, engineering at the University of Victoria. That sentence should read like pure celebration. And it is. But the truth? This moment arrived carrying far more than simple joy. What Even Are These Feelings? From a woman who transacts in emotions, who holds other women’s emotions, who speaks on emotional regulation every day—I’m not sure what these feelings even are. Elation. Anticipation. Excitement. Pride. Gratefulness. Sadness that this day has finally arrived. He’s my baby. My youngest. My last. All the feels wrapped up in tears and hugs and the quiet ache of knowing that a long season of life is shifting once more. Sometimes the most honest thing we can say isn’t “I feel happy” or “I feel sad.” Sometimes it’s simply: This is a lot. And I’m letting myself feel all of it. This is the work I do with women every day—helping them listen inward, honour what’s real, and trust their emotional experience rather than trying to tidy it up into something more presentable. Today, I’m practicing what I teach. When a Homeschooler Gets Accepted to University Once upon a time, I saw my son play with Legos for a decade. I watched him tinker with small machines. Build furniture. Try to understand why things weren’t working, then unbuild blenders and computers to figure them out. Then learn how to build a computer himself. I watched him understand the strategy behind chess and play—and win—against others decades older than him. Watched him crack the code behind all sorts of games. And I watched him fall in love with physics. From Usborne books when he was seven, to university-level physics and math classes when he was fifteen. When I asked him if the workload of those classes was just too much—because they really are exceptionally a lot—he acknowledged that yes, they are. But he really loves learning these things. The proof? He’s self-motivated. And he keeps trying to capture my raptured fascination with his stories from math and physics classes. Today, that same child was accepted into engineering at the University of Victoria. And in just a few months, he’ll have a hefty ride to class every day for the next five years—because the university is ten hours away. (And of course, he can’t leave home to do that;) The Long Arc of Homeschool Motherhood If I’m honest, there were moments I could have marked a calendar and begun a private countdown to this season—the season where the last child begins to leave. Culturally, we talk about this as a milestone. The “empty nest.” The transition. Or just a rite of passage. But for me, this isn’t about cultural narratives. This is about the truth that I always wanted to be a mother. Not just a mother, but a present one. An engaged one. A mother who chose to build a life that allowed me to be with my children fully—especially through homeschooling. A mother who wanted to savour the days, even the hard ones. Homeschooling has never been easy. It has been meaningful, beautiful, stretching, exhausting, sacred work. There are days when you question everything: Am I doing enough? Am I missing something important? Perhaps I am failing my kids without realising it? Why does this feel so hard when I care so deeply? If you’ve homeschooled—or even deeply parented—you know this interior dialogue well. When Motherhood Becomes More Than Motherhood In my work with homeschool moms, I see another layer often present beneath the surface. Many women I walk alongside did not experience secure, emotionally safe childhoods. They grew up unsure of whether they were truly seen, heard, understood, or emotionally prioritized. Other people’s emotions took up most of the space in their homes. Their own needs were minimized, dismissed, or simply overlooked. Then they become mothers. And suddenly, motherhood becomes not just a role—but a mission. A redemption story. A chance to finally do it differently. To create the childhood they themselves needed. To pour in everything they never received. That depth of investment can be profoundly beautiful. It can also be incredibly heavy. You carry the invisible weight of wanting to get it right. You want your children to feel safe, known, cherished. And of course, you want to protect them from harm. And you want to give them every opportunity. You want to ensure that your love translates into their lifelong well-being. So when people casually suggest, “You should get a hobby for when your kids leave,” it often misses the point entirely. This was never just a phase of life. This was your life. When Your Homeschooler Gets Accepted to University — and Actually Leaves You hear it all along: They grow up so fast. One day they’ll leave. You nod. You know it intellectually. But then the first one leaves. And it’s not theoretical anymore. Then the second. Then the third. And suddenly you find yourself here, watching your homeschooler get accepted to university and prepare to take his next steps away from home. All those years of homeschooling, of conversations, of car rides, of frustration and laughter and connection and doubt and persistence—they weren’t wasted. They were forming something. All those years of allowing him to follow his curiosity—from Legos to blenders to computers to physics—weren’t indulgent. They were equipping a human being to live his life on purpose. My husband said it beautifully today: Today we celebrate. We celebrate his effort, his capacities, the interests he pursued, the time we gave him to develop them, and the ways we were able to support him to get here. And I would add this: We celebrate with gratitude for the life entrusted to us. For the child we were given. For the journey we were allowed to walk together. Yesterday, We Brought Home a Healthy Baby There is another layer to this story that makes today feel even more sacred. When Zachary was born, he was rushed into the NICU. His colour wasn’t right. Tests were run. We waited, we watched, and we prayed. For several days, uncertainty was ours—until finally the echocardiogram confirmed that nothing was wrong with his heart. Nothing was wrong with his heart. I still hold the weight of that sentence. When he was permitted, my husband held him skin to skin for hours—this tiny, vulnerable, beautiful baby: 22 inches long, 8 pounds 7 ounces of brand-new life. We drove home three days later than expected. But we drove home with our healthy baby. Our fourth child. Our first son. My husband had suggested the name Zachary years before—even before we were engaged. He’d always loved that name. And when we anticipated our fourth child, we hoped we would be able to raise a son. We were given a little boy. And we named him Zachary. “God has remembered.” It feels like yesterday we brought him home. And now—in what feels like the very next day—we are planning to drive him to university. That same child, now standing over six feet tall, solid and capable, preparing to move ten hours away to study engineering. The name we gave him carries weight I couldn’t have fully understood then. The Truth Beneath the Success Story It would be easy to turn this into a polished success narrative: “Look, homeschooling works. Look at the outcome.” But that’s not the real story. The real story is this: We didn’t homeschool perfectly. I doubted myself often. We adjusted constantly and made mistakes. We learned alongside our kids. However, we learned to prioritize connection over performance. Also, we allowed space for interests to emerge rather than forcing rigid paths. We let him play with Legos for a decade—even when well-meaning voices suggested it was time to move on to “more serious” pursuits. And we let him take apart blenders and computers—even when it meant occasionally having broken appliances scattered across the dining room table. We supported him taking university-level courses at fifteen—even when the workload seemed overwhelming—because he loved it. Because he kept coming home eager to share what he’d learned. And somehow, through all of that imperfect, earnest, committed living—we arrived here. Not with children who followed identical paths, but with young adults who know themselves, who can think critically, who are willing to take responsibility for their lives. That matters more to me than any transcript ever could. For the Mom Who Is Still in the Thick of It If you’re reading this while surrounded by math worksheets, sibling tension, unfinished laundry, and self-doubt, I want you to hear this gently: You are not failing because this is hard, and you are not doing it wrong because you feel overwhelmed, and you are not behind because your journey looks different. The work you’re doing is slow, invisible, relational work. It doesn’t produce instant metrics. It shapes hearts, minds, resilience, identity, and belonging—over time. When your child spends hours on something that seems frivolous—Legos, Minecraft, taking things apart—you’re not wasting their education. You may be nurturing the very curiosity that will one day lead them to their calling. When they want to dive deep into subjects that feel advanced or “too much”—and you worry about the workload—trust their intrinsic motivation. If they love it, if they’re self-driven, you’re witnessing passion, not pressure. And one day, often much faster than you expect, you may find yourself watching your homeschooler get accepted to university, looking back in awe at the human beings who emerged from your care. You may feel joy, and grief, and pride. You may feel disoriented. And you may feel everything all at once. That would be normal. Why I Continue This Work This is why I continue to walk alongside homeschool moms. Not because I believe homeschooling is a panacea — it’s not. Home education can not promise you flawless outcomes. But because I believe in supporting women as whole humans while they raise whole humans. Because motherhood deserves more than survival mode. Homeschool families deserve emotional support, not just academic strategy. Because women deserve space to explore their identity beyond holding their homes, their families, their worlds together — that invisible load of motherhood. And because sometimes, the greatest evidence that your work mattered isn’t found in awards or accolades—but in the momentous realization that your child is ready to live their own life. Even if that life is ten hours away. Today, I celebrate Zachary. And I honour every mother who has poured herself into the sacred, exhausting, beautiful work of raising humans who will one day leave. And when they tell you that they are going to grow up, when they tell you they want to apply to university, say the words that only you will know are exactly the right words for that moment: just say NO. (Oh, I mean, celebrate with them, celebrate yourself too, all that you’ve done!) Congratulations, Zach. We are so very proud of you.

"The learner must attend with interest to the fact or truth to be learned."In this third episode of our series on John Milton Gregory's Seven Laws of Teaching, Ryan Gilmore is joined by experienced grammar school teacher, Kay Nunn, to explore the Law of the Learner. Together they reflect on why attention and interest are essential to real learning and how teachers can spark curiosity rather than demand compliance. Through practical classroom examples and years of experience, the conversation highlights teaching as an act of formation that honors the dignity of the student. This episode invites teachers and parents to rethink engagement, not as classroom management, but as a pathway to wisdom.Free PDF of The Seven Laws of Teaching by John Milton Gregory through Veritas Press! https://www.oakgroveclassical.com/https://www.instagram.com/oakgroveclassicalacademy/https://www.facebook.com/OakGroveClassical/https://naumsinc.org/ https://classicalchristian.org/

The knives are out—and homeschool freedom is on the chopping block. In this episode, I expose the growing push by lawmakers to bring homeschooling under government control, with New Jersey leading the charge. I'm joined by Rose-Anne Uwague (Ro), a New Jersey homeschool mom and advocate on the front lines of this fight, to break down what these bills really mean and why every parent should be paying attention. This is a wake-up call for families who value parental rights and freedom.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

In this episode, Corey and Christine dive deep into what has quietly changed about childhood, parenting, and family life over the last decade. From screen saturation to over-scheduling, they explore why so many kids are struggling today and how a simple return to nature, play, and trust can radically shift family dynamics. This conversation is a hopeful reminder that small, intentional changes can lead to calmer homes, more resilient kids, and a more enjoyable motherhood.

Send us a textTonight we welcome Jess Weatherby to the show, she is a homeschool mom, ex Titan Games participant, follower of Jesus who shares her love for family and fitness on her Instagram profile which you can follow at Jess_Weatherby_lifts: https://www.instagram.com/jess_weatherby_lifts/In the 1980s and 1990s, many of the brightest students in the US were enrolled in the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program, designed to foster advanced learning and critical thinking. Decades later, some former participants are speculating whether the program had a hidden agenda. One woman, who gained attention on social media for her posts about the topic, shared images of her old workbooks showing unexpected activities, such as code-breaking and learning Russian. These unusual exercises have fueled theories linking the GATE program to a classified CIA initiative called “Gateway,” which reportedly explored the boundaries of human consciousness through methods like sound patterns and meditation. A declassified CIA document describes “non-verbal audio patterns” concealed within natural sounds like waves and wind. Interestingly, some former GATE students recall being exposed to similar audio recordings during their time in the program. One participant shared memories of wearing large headphones and listening to recordings facilitated by people unaffiliated with the school.SUPPORT THE SHOWBuy Me A Coffee http://buymeacoffee.com/DangerousinfopodcastSubscribeStar http://bit.ly/42Y0qM8Super Chat Tip https://bit.ly/42W7iZHBuzzsprout https://bit.ly/3m50hFTPaypal http://bit.ly/3Gv3ZjpPatreon http://bit.ly/3G3Visit our affiliSupport the show using Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/dangerousinfopodcast SMART is the acronym that was created by technocrats that have setup the "internet of things" that will eventually enslave humanity to their needs.

Homeschooling sometimes begins when parents realize the education system is not serving their child.  In this episode of Non Linear Learning, Dr. Vaish Sarathy speaks with Victoria Lenormand, a former detective turned holistic health practitioner and homeschooling parent, about what it takes to trust a child's internal compass and let go of conventional definitions of success. Victoria brings an evidence-based perspective to homeschooling. Trained to observe patterns and follow facts, she applied that same mindset to her son's learning and recognized that a linear schooling model was taking enormous energy just to maintain — without supporting his identity or growth. Together, Vaish and Victoria explore: How to build the mindset needed for homeschooling The 3 factors learning is built around when done right.  How to interpret stubbornness or "wilfulness" in a way that works for your child, and  Why the energy cost of education is critical information for parents This conversation is for parents considering homeschooling, questioning traditional schooling, or feeling the constant friction between who their child is and what school expects. As we reflect in the episode: "When something in education takes enormous energy just to maintain, it's worth asking whether it's actually working."

In this episode, we explore some nuanced questions about questions about balancing grit and flexibility.  Our focus through this deep dive will be important aspects of homeschooling, such as, are our kids developing the skills they'll need to successfully launch into adulthood? Does creating a customized, differentiated learning environment remove struggle and therefore minimize their ability to withstand discomfort?  We'll talk about what perseverance actually looks like in the real world - deadlines you didn't choose, unsexy responsibilities, difficult people - and examine how that intersects with highly personalized homeschooling. Along the way, we unpack when adapting and differentiating supports resilience versus when it might unintentionally reduce tolerance for discomfort, and we wrestle with the roles of neurodivergence, privilege, capitalism, and compliance in how we define “grit.” As is so often the case, we don't offer tidy answers… but we do offer honest reflection, balance, and a more nuanced way to think about preparing kids for life beyond homeschooling.We'd love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

She is co-author of Reclaiming Our Students and works internationally with educators, school systems, and organizations to support children's emotional well-being through play, attachment, and community.

Allie tackles the explosive hell debate ignited by Kirk Cameron in which he wades into annihilationism, which is a belief that sinners in hell do not suffer eternal torment but will eventually be forever destroyed. She contrasts it with the traditional view of eternal conscious punishment, exploring Scripture's imagery of destruction, balancing God's characteristics of justice and mercy, and referring to key theologians, such as John MacArthur, John Stott, Edward Fudge, J.I. Packer, and many more. At the end of the day, sharing the gospel to all unbelievers is the most important because separation from God is horrific.
