Podcasts about Homeschooling

Original airdate: 12/12/24: Mary welcomes back Carl Kerby of Reasons for Hope Ministries, an apologetics ministry that covers many different areas and ways to contend for the faith. In these days of moral ambiguity and outright amorality, the porn industry is one of the most insidious, soul trashing industries under the sun. Statistics regarding the popularity of this pursuit are stunning, having increased tremendously over just the last few years. It is estimated that 28,258 users watch porn every second and 35% of all internet downloads are related to porn;  64% of the 18-24 demographic seek it out on a weekly basis. When you add human trafficking as a supplier, there is clearly no lack of demand and it may never go the other direction. We chat about what families can do to keep it far from their homes and thus honor God in this matter as we are commanded. In the 2nd half, we will talk about a book series from Reasons for Hope that are certainly family friendly and edifying, their “Fascinating Facts” series, and how they would make a great Christmas gift. Homeschooling has enjoyed a wonderful renaissance due to Covid, and ministries have truly stepped up with great resources, Reasons for Hope is no exception.

What happens when vaccine mandates, school regulations, and a mama's intuition collide? In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany, a homeschool mom of almost-seven-year-old twin boys in West Virginia and an occupational therapist who now serves the homeschool community.Tiffany shares how COVID, vaccine requirements, and a strong Christian conviction opened the door to homeschooling—not just for her twin boys, but for her stepkids too. We talk about co-ops, jujitsu, piano lessons, state requirements, and why “freedom” is the first word that comes to mind when she thinks of home education.As an OT, Tiffany also dives into reflex integration—how primitive reflexes can affect things like handwriting, reading, attention, picky eating, emotional regulation, and why some kids “can't sit still” no matter how hard they try. If you've ever wondered, “Is this just a phase, or does my child actually need help?” this conversation is for you.In this episode, we cover:Homeschooling energetic twin boys with totally different strengthsNavigating co-ops, church life, and daily rhythms in West VirginiaHow vaccine mandates and religious convictions pushed some families toward homeschoolingThe difference between classical education and programs like Classical ConversationsWest Virginia vs. New York homeschool requirements (portfolio reviews, testing, paperwork)What pediatric occupational therapy actually is for homeschoolersReflex integration 101 and how unintegrated reflexes can show up asPoor handwritingTrouble sitting stillVisual scanning issues when readingPicky eating, chewing on clothes/pencilsBig emotions and meltdownsWhy it's okay to ask for help and build your “village” as a homeschool parentConnect with Tiffany:Www.agapelove.comFacebook: The Homeschool OT, Tiffany ParsonsOther therapy resources: Www.HomeschoolOT.com Facebook: The Homeschool OT, Sarah CollinsHarkla (parent trainings): https://harkla.co/?rfsn=8716597.365cfaeLearn more about Green Ember: Helmer in the Dragon Tomb—the new prequel book from S.

What if the best thing you could do for your child's education today is to send them outside? Join Lisa Bailey for an inspiring conversation with Classical Conversations founder Leigh Bortins and Ginny Yurich, creator of the 1000 Hours Outside movement and author of "Homeschooling: You're Doing It Right Just By Doing It." Discover how unstructured outdoor play develops every facet of child development—cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. Ginny shares research-backed evidence that complex outdoor movements literally build brain structure and protect against cognitive decline. Both Leigh and Ginny share their paths to home education, from recognizing the limitations of institutional schooling to embracing a lifestyle of family-centered learning. Learn why they believe homeschooling is less about perfect curriculum and more about living life alongside your children. Hear honest stories about the modern childhood crisis—from kindergarteners facing 8-hour academic days to middle schoolers pulling out their hair from stress. The conversation challenges our cultural assumptions about what children truly need to thrive.   Resources: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/   This episode of the Everyday Educator is sponsored by Judson College: Judson College, North Carolina's only four-year accredited confessional Christian institution, equips passionate students with over 25 majors and exceptional faculty to pursue God's calling in ministry, missions, or the workplace while experiencing vibrant community through our unique House System.

Gorgeous humans!This week I'm having the MOST delicious chat with my mate Jana Kingsford — author of Big Dreams (with eight more books in the works!) and the creator of the Beliefetics Method.Jana's one of those humans who actually DID the thing most people dream about but never do. She was stuck in the morning school run traffic, feeling like she couldn't do another 15 years of this… and went home and asked her husband if they could sell the house, buy a caravan, homeschool the kids and travel Australia full-time.His response? "I'm keen."That was the beginning of four laps of Australia, homeschooling three kids on the road, live streaming from cafe corners and literal trees, and building a million-dollar business from a caravan that didn't even have a toilet or shower!!!We'll cover:✨ The exact moment Jana knew her life had to change (driving home from school drop-off, crying kid, morning traffic, the works)✨ The reality of selling everything in 3 months and hitting the road✨ Homeschooling truth bombs: from distance ed panic to shutting the laptop because we're literally here✨ Why both her daughters are now thriving at uni after years of unschooling✨ Her 13-year-old son who taught himself everything from hyperfixations (unschooling magic!)✨ The morning routine that made it possible✨ How that one belief shift took her from $1K to $11K months in 5 months (and that was over 10 years ago!)✨ Why manifesting "big dreams you can't buy" is completely different to manifesting parking spots ✨ The seven stages of manifesting and why advice that works in stage one will sabotage you in stage sevenThis ep is for you if:

Join Me for the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge A homeschool mom self-care challenge that honours you. Homeschool mama, I see you. December is here, and it feels like an avalanche of ALL the things.Every month as a homeschool mom is full, but December? It's a whole new level. You're trying to finish things up, or you’re moving into a unit study on Christmas, you’re purchasing, prepping, planning, and playing—and you just added a part time-job to your full-time job. But as a homeschool mama, when December rolls around, mama ain’t looking after herself, she’s looking, after ALL the things. And though ALL the things are a whole lot of things EVERY other month, December’s ALL the things is an exponential set of things. Though you’re trying to do all the things, fulfill the expectations, and make it magical for your kids, you can’t do a little bit more if you didn’t already incorporate an approach to maintain margins and pursue purposeful living. That's why I'm inviting you to join me for the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms. This isn't another TO DO list. It's a TO GIVE list—a way to give back to yourself. Join the 12 Day Self-Care Challenge Why Self-Care Matters As homeschool moms, we have a unique calling. We're deeply present with our kids, invested in their well-being, and working hard to create meaningful memories and learning experiences. We savor moments of: Watching our kids harmoniously play together (sometimes). Cheering them on as they tackle new challenges. Seeing their excitement as they pursue new interests. Building lifelong memories as a family. But there's another side to this season: The constant stream of emotions (theirs and ours). Sibling squabbles. Complaints and meltdowns. And, of course, the never-ending mundane tasks—laundry, dishes, meals, and errands. Even when we handle these challenges with grace, the emotional and mental investment is enormous. Add the holidays to the mix, and it's no wonder we feel stretched thin. The Secret Ingredient to a (more) Peaceful Holiday Season Here's the thing: you matter too. Your well-being is not just an afterthought—it's the foundation of a happy family life and a peaceful holiday season. Self-care: Refills your energy so you can approach the holidays with calm and joy. Models healthy balance and boundaries for your children. Helps you manage stress and let go of perfection. Strengthens your emotional resilience to handle challenges with patience and grace. Creates space for joy and presence, helping you savor the small, magical moments. When you care for yourself, you're giving your family the best gift of all—a peaceful, grounded, and joyful mama. What You'll Get in the 12-Day Challenge In just fifteen minutes a day—maybe even five—you'll explore simple, practical self-care strategies that fit into your busy December. These strategies aren't just for the holidays; they're tools to carry into the new year, helping you nurture yourself and your family with greater ease and satisfaction. By the end of these 12 days, you'll feel: More energized. More connected to yourself. And more at peace as you move through this beautiful, busy season. And so we must take care of ourselves. Join the 12 Days of Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge Join Me—You Deserve This So, homeschool mama, this is your invitation to take a breath, step back, and remember that you are worth nurturing. Let's do this together. This December, give yourself the gift of care, calm, and connection. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms and rediscover the joy of the season—not just for your family, but for you too. Just fifteen minutes a day. You've got this.

What if kids learned the moment they needed a skill, not months before it mattered? We sit down with Ben Somers, founder of Recess.gg, to unpack how problem-first projects, kid choice, and safe online communities can turn screens into tools and learners into builders.Ben shares his journey from public school skeptic to education entrepreneur, influenced by first principles thinking and just‑in‑time instruction. We talk about why homeschoolers often thrive with this model, how small design choices—like letting kids switch classes—transform room energy, and what happens when a Minecraft trapdoor becomes the gateway to circuits, binary logic, and real coding. Along the way, Ben offers practical advice for parents who don't feel “qualified” to teach: lean on adaptive tools, build daily habits, and protect your child from inherited math anxiety by modeling curiosity over fear.We also break down “socialization” into three parts: connecting with people, navigating social norms, and maintaining a vibrant friend network. Ben explains how Recess.gg focuses on that third piece—matching kids by shared interests and giving them supervised spaces to collaborate on code, 3D worlds, and science simulations. Think of the computer as a modern wand: with the right guidance, kids can create, design, and solve problems that matter, gaining real agency in a world where nearly every job touches software.If you're curious how to start, Ben keeps it simple: begin with what fascinates your child, choose a safe space, and let projects pull learning forward. Explore Recess.gg, see what your kid wants to build, and watch enthusiasm do the heavy lifting. Enjoy the episode?

This week we're digging into what homeschooling actually looks like when you don't have a dedicated room, endless storage, or a perfectly curated setup.

EP241: Learning often looks messy before it looks magical. In this episode, Jean explores what productive struggle really is ~ why that uncomfortable moment when a new idea doesn't fit is exactly where growth happens ~ and how to invite it into homeschooling without tipping kids into frustration. Drawing on Piaget's ideas about equilibrium and disequilibrium, and the neuroscience of learning, we unpack how challenge literally upgrades the brain's wiring and builds durable confidence.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more homeschooling families find these ideas.Find the Show Notes here  https://artofhomeschooling.com/episode241/Send Jean a text message.

In this episode, I'm joined by Jem from Australia, a homeschooling mom of four navigating autism, ADHD, sensory needs, school refusal, and neurodivergent learning—and doing it all with honesty, humor, and so much heart.Jem shares why her family left the traditional school system, how her kids went from daily meltdowns and sensory overwhelm to peaceful mornings and learning at their own pace, and why unschooling naturally became the approach that finally worked.We talk about: • What homeschooling looks like for autistic and ADHD learners • Why school refusal isn't “defiance”—it's dysregulation • The surprising benefits of late-morning starts, slow mornings, and interest-led learning • How volunteering at an animal rescue farm completely changed her daughter's confidence • Creating sensory-friendly learning spaces at home • Using fidgets, wobble seats, chewing tools, trampolines, and pets for regulation • Transitioning out of curriculum and into a more intuitive, child-led rhythm • How homeschooling reconnects families and helps kids thrive emotionally • The differences between public school vs. homeschool in Australia • What new homeschool parents REALLY need to hear before they beginIf you're parenting a neurodivergent child, exploring unschooling, or wondering whether homeschooling can truly support special needs, this episode will give you encouragement, perspective, and a whole lot of validation.✨ Connect with Jem: Jem's FacebookJem's InstagramLeave the Big Box Store!

How do we move from “I think I want to homeschool” to “We've created an education that fits us”? In this episode, we walk through the eight natural stages homeschool parents experience, from jumping in without a clue, to swapping curriculum in search of the “perfect” program, to finally trusting ourselves and embracing “us schooling.”We share real stories from our own homeschools, talk about ideological pressure from methods and social media, and offer practical ideas for planning from behind and building a routine you can bend without breaking.Listen in to discover your stage and what might come next, and then join us to share where you are in your journey!Resources:Read Julie's post on this topic here: Brave Writer Podcast: Natural Stages of Growth as a Home Educator - A Brave Writer's Life in BriefVisit the Brave Writer Book ShopBrave Writer class registration is open!

Finding Peace in Overwhelm: A Christian Guide to Anxiety, Burnout, and Trusting God Through Hard Seasons (Faith-Based Encouragement, Holistic Healing, Christian Mental Health) Introduction: What You'll Learn in This Episode If you've been feeling anxious, numb, exhausted, or spiritually drained, this episode is for you. We dive deep into Christian mental health, holistic healing, and what it really looks like to trust God when life feels heavy. You'll learn: Why seasons of overwhelm are normal — and biblical The identity trap many Christian women fall into What Scripture teaches about endurance, grief, and human weakness How Jesus handled anxiety, agony, and the weight of His calling This episode is especially for Christian women who feel overextended, weary, or like they're “not enough” — moms, high achievers, and women navigating transitions, burnout, or identity struggles. Episode Overview In this vulnerable conversation, we explore Scripture, real-life hardship, emotional healing, and how God strengthens us through every season — even when we feel like we're drowning. From James 1 to Ecclesiastes 3 to Jesus sweating drops of blood in Luke 22, this episode gives a deeply honest look at pain, perseverance, and faith. ⏱️ Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 — A Prayer for Thanksgiving Week & A Needed Reset A heartfelt encouragement for the holiday season plus an invitation to reset your energy through a faith-rooted workshop. 00:53 — Why James 1:2–4 Feels So Hard (But Necessary) The tension between hating trials yet wanting the maturity they produce. 01:23 — Generational Strength & Why We Can't Shield Ourselves From Hardship Reflecting on family, resilience, and how God grows us through challenges. 02:22 — Soul Care Class: When God Brings Hidden Things to the Surface A behind-the-scenes look at how spiritual growth often exposes old wounds. 03:20 — Job Loss, Homeschooling, and God's Provision The rollercoaster journey of jobs, layoffs, and trusting God for timing and flexibility. 04:19 — A “Perfect” Job That Turned Into Overwhelm When work-from-home turns into work-all-the-time. 04:43 — Humiliation, Pressure, and Feeling “Not Enough” A moment that exposed deep identity struggles. 05:40 — The False Identity of Performance How tying your worth to productivity quietly destroys your peace. 07:38 — When Scripture and Self-Care Don't Lift You Out of the Funk Honest reflections on depression, anxiety, numbness, and spiritual dryness. 08:36 — The Mask People Wear at Church & Why You're Not Alone The pressure to appear okay when you're not. 09:36 — “Just Keep Showing Up”: Encouragement for Moms and the Weary The small but powerful act of continuing to show up every day. 10:06 — Sleepless in Seattle, Tom Hanks, and the Power of Just Breathing A surprising emotional parallel to grief and perseverance. 11:03 — Ecclesiastes 3: There Is a Season for Everything Why your pain is temporary and purposeful. 12:32 — Jesus in Gethsemane: The Ultimate Example of Agony and Surrender The humanity and anguish of Christ — and why it matters for your suffering. 14:55 — Your Pain is Seen, Your Season Will Not Last Forever Final encouragement: Jesus understands your pain, and this will pass. Key Takeaways 1. Hard seasons are part of spiritual growth. God uses trials to strengthen us, deepen endurance, and strip away false identities. 2. Your worth is not tied to productivity or performance. Christian women often carry silent pressure to “hold everything together,” but Scripture gives you permission to rest and be human. 3. Emotional burnout is not a sign of failure. Feeling numb, anxious, or overwhelmed isn't a spiritual weakness — it's a sign you're carrying too much alone. 4. Even Jesus felt agony so intense He sweat “like drops of blood.” Your emotional and physical symptoms of stress are not a shock to Him. He understands the full weight of human suffering. 5. Seasons of pain don't last forever. Ecclesiastes reminds us that life moves in God-ordained rhythms. Your current season is temporary. 6. Just keep showing up. One breath at a time. One day at a time. Faithfulness is less about perfection and more about returning to Jesus again and again. Scriptures Mentioned James 1:2–4 — steadfastness through trials Ecclesiastes 3 — seasons of life Luke 22:39–44 — Jesus in Gethsemane, sweating like drops of blood Call to Action: Reset Your Energy With God at the Center If you're feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or spiritually dry, now is the time to reset with Jesus — not January 1st. ✨ Grab the “Reset Your Energy” Workshop A gentle, faith-rooted, 50-minute experience to help you breathe again, calm your nervous system, refresh your spirit, and restore peace.

It's Tuesday, November 25th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Eritrea Persecutes Christians persecution.org reports now eight Christians who have languished in Eritrea prison cells for over 18 years.  The charge — they were following Jesus Christ. Eritrean authorities routinely arrest and imprison Christians in horrific conditions under severe authoritarian rule.   The nation recognizes only four religious groups within its borders: the Tewahedo Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, Evangelical Lutheran churches, and Sunni Islam. All other Christian denominations are unrecognized by the state.  According to a 2025 report from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), “as of May 2024, over 350 Christians were imprisoned [in Eritrea].” The report continued, stating that “police at times arrest entire Christian families, including children, during the early morning hours.”  Brazilian Christian Homeschool Conference The Brazilian Christian Homeschool movement is exploding.  2,000 dads, moms, and children  Joao Passeo participated over a 3 day conference — with messages on Biblical Worldview in science and history, Christian education, family discipleship, family economy, God-centered curriculum, and God's order for family, church and state. This was the fourth in the Generations and Worldview sponsored conferences in Brazil — one more way of serving 75,000 homeschoolers throughout the country. Expo organizer, Vinicius Reis had this to say about God's powerful working in the hearts of fathers and mothers throughout Brazil:   VINICIUS: “We are here in the third day, the last day, of our Expo Homeschooling Brazil Conference. We have the mission with this event, to connect those who love and teach their children. And we achieve here, more than 2000 attendees, during these three days, and it was so special... and receiving encouragement to move it and keep moving forward, especially in our discipleship mission for our kids. So, thank you for supporting us and continue praying for us, because despite the challenge, despite the persecution, we will not stop to teach and to love our children. May God bless you and may God bless Brazil too, amen.” Psalm 78 has a message for all Christian parents: "For [the Lord] established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God." Argentina Considering Recognization of Homeschooling And, Argentina is heading towards a complete rewrite of their education law — explicitly recognizing homeschooling and hybrid forms of distance education as legitimate alternatives. If the law passes, parents will be recognized as “the natural and primary agents” of education, and the state's role will be considered subsidiary. The nations' teachers unions have already expressed opposition to the legislation, entitled The Education Freedom Act. G-20 Annual in Johannesburg At least 13 presidents and prime ministers from leading nations showed up at the G-20 annual get together of the world's most powerful men in Johannesburg, South Africa over the weekend.  Nothing substantial was accomplished, besides the issuance of vague statements on climate resilience, peace, stability, the need for debt relief, and global cooperation. The US and Argentina were conspicuously absent from a meeting that involved the UK, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, and Australia.  This was the United States's first absence since the creation of G-20 in 1999 under the Clinton Administration.  According to recent numbers published in the US Government's FY2026 budget, the US contributions to international organizations and UN peacekeeping is dropping by 89% — from $2.45 billion to $264 million. Here is one clear message for G-20 and the world's leaders: "Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.  Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way." Psalm 2:10  College-Grad Employment Getting Worse College-grad employment is getting worse and worse.  A recent Bloomberg story finds that the percentage of the college-educated making up the unemployment numbers in the US has increased from 12% in 2008 to 25% in 2025.  Young degree-holders are running at a 9.2% unemployment rate. All that to say, the market for college-educate Marxist-activists has cooled quite a bit.  40% of US House of Representatives are Pro-Life Exactly 40% of the US House of Representatives are pro-life and willing to oppose the mail-order abortion pill. Only 174 members signed a letter urging the Trump Administration Department of Health and Human Services to ban the mail-order kill-pill, but still allowing for in-person dispensing of it. 44 Republicans members and the Democrat contingency did not sign the letter. Bitcoin Loses Value Cryptocurrency is still as volatile as ever.  Bitcoin has lost 30% of its value in the last six weeks — that's the third swing exceeding 30% in just a year. Over the same year, gold took a steady 100% increase, without any significant downturns. Wicked Movie Sequel in the Box Office The movie sequel to Wicked received the largest box office opening since Barbie in 2023 — a worldwide record of $226 million. Wicked: For Good is based on a book meant to put both “good” and “bad” witchcraft in a good light. . . .Author, Gregory Maguire. was one of the first persons in America to stage a faux-homosexual marriage in the state of Massachusetts in 2004. The Christian film reviewing organization, Movieguide points out the latest movie advocates fornication in a lesbian context.

In this week's episode, we're digging into what it really means to homeschool neurodivergent kids in a world where the traditional school system often isn't built with them in mind. We talk about masking, mismatched expectations, and why so many ND learners finally exhale when they're allowed to learn in ways that honor their wiring instead of fighting it. We're not here to bash public schools, but we are here to get real about what ND-affirming education can look like and why homeschooling can be a game changer for some families.

In this episode of Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology, I sit down with Dr. Joylynn Blake, Director of Schole Academy at Classical Academic Press, to talk about homeschooling, classical Christian education, parenting through different seasons, and living with hospitality and humility. Dr. Blake shares her unique journey into homeschooling while living in China as a missionary. With no international schools available and three young children in a 750-square-foot apartment, she began homeschooling out of necessity. That season sparked her passion for education and eventually led to advanced studies in philosophy, theology, and educational leadership. We discuss how her approach to homeschooling and classical education grew over the years. While many associate classical education with elitism and academic snobbery, Dr. Blake challenges this stereotype. She explains that: “What a classical education does is just mindful of that—that human beings are multidimensional and have many areas in which they can and should develop to the glory of God.” Throughout our conversation, a recurring theme emerges: humility, love of neighbor, and hospitality. From her mission work in China to her current role in education, Dr. Blake reminds us that education is never just about academics—it's about cultivating the soul and orienting our hearts toward truth, goodness, and beauty. We also explore the idea of homeschooling on the “razor's edge of weird.” Homeschoolers often get labeled as quirky, but Dr. Blake encourages us to embrace being “good weird” while remaining hospitable and approachable. For moms of younger children, she offers this encouragement: “Don't worry about the things that aren't worth worrying about, and that is 99% of the things.” And for moms with adult children, she emphasizes the importance of resting in God's sufficiency: “Now, if anything, we are a coach if asked, an advisor if asked—but otherwise, I am the one who loves.” Schole Academy (https://www.scholeacademy.com/?sca_ref=5690625.N63JEbFwDq&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=amy-sloan&utm_campaign=standard-affiliate-commission)Classical Academic Press (https://classicalacademicpress.com/?sca_ref=5690625.N63JEbFwDq&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=amy-sloan&utm_campaign=standard-affiliate-commission)Classical U (https://classicalu.com/?sca_ref=5690625.N63JEbFwDq&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=amy-sloan&utm_campaign=standard-affiliate-commission).

In this powerful episode, Cheryl sits down with Anya, a seasoned mom who made the courageous choice to pull her son out of school during a season of deep grief — and discovered that unschooling was the unexpected key to his healing, growth, and confidence.Anya shares how losing her son's father, navigating the chaos of COVID schooling, and tuning into her child's emotional needs led her to take full ownership of her family's educational path. What followed included incredible personal growth, restored mental health, and the realization that children often learn more outside the system than inside it.Together we explore: • How unschooling helped her son recover emotionally and academically • Why children can easily return to public school without “falling behind” • The impact of grief, trauma, and stress on learning • Why emotional intelligence matters more than worksheets • Homeschool myths that keep parents scared • Real-life skills kids actually need (and how school suppresses them) • The hidden pressures on parents from schools, doctors & society • Why confidence, connection, and slow childhood matter more than curriculumIf you're considering homeschooling, curious about unschooling, or questioning the one-size-fits-all school system, this episode will give you permission to trust yourself — and your child — more deeply.Connect with Anya: www.theangelwearsprana.comInstagramYoutubeFacbook A Connected Christmas Unit Study! Start making Christmas memories today!!

This begs the question, when is homeschooling Episode Links:BREAKING: Texas House just passed UNIVERSAL SCHOOL CHOICE. The vote was 85 to 63. The Senate already passed a similar bill 19 to 12. Texas will be the 16th state to pass universal school choice. This is the way.Advocacy groups urge parents to avoid AI toys this holiday seasonDemocrats in New Jersey are trying to force homeschooling parents to include DEI and gender ideology in their homeschool curriculums. This is how desperate Democrats are to indoctrinate and groom your kidsThree days ago, a Texas mom went to pick up her son an hour early from his school for an appointment, but the school refused to release him. Shocked and frustrated, she immediately asked for withdrawal papers. Yesterday, she shared an update saying she's now homeschooling her son. Parents across the country need to pay attention!!A 12-year-old was suspended for reporting a teacher who harassed her. The adults she trusted betrayed her, and now she's traumatized. Public schools can't be saved when they fail to protect our kids. This deranged lunatic is President of the National Education Association, largest teachers union in the United States. Homeschooling never looked better.

It feels like there is so much opposition to homeschooling. Though today there is a far greater degree of acceptance, plenty of voices remain which not only question but blatantly oppose our efforts to raise our children at home. That said, the greatest opposition probably comes in our own self doubts and even resistance to what homeschooling requires of us. And what does it require? Just about everything. But if we learn to yield to the requirements, to the sacrifice, we learn the secret - giving is receiving, losing is reclaiming. Death is life.  About Sean Sean Allen is the founder of The Well Ordered Homeschool, husband to his beautiful bride Caroline and a proud father of eight.

A huge week in the Coulson household — ADHD dilemmas, graduation milestones, big Roblox safety updates, and a brutally honest conversation about whether homeschooling is finally over. In this episode, we unpack the emotional load of parenting when life feels stretched thin, and why the choices we make for our kids rarely come with simple answers. KEY POINTS ADHD medications, family wellbeing, and the real question behind parental burnout Why “child problems” are often “environment problems” A major Roblox safety update parents need to know about Graduation highs, formal prep… and food poisoning A heartfelt mother–daughter conversation about going back to school How exploration conversations help kids feel heard (and make decisions they trust) QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "We’ve got to stop blaming the child — most of the time it’s not a child problem, it’s an environment problem." RESOURCES MENTIONED ADHD episode (“Halloween ADHD Overdiagnosis”) Sammy Tamimi’s Searching for Normal and Naughty Boys Happy Families Podcast feedback: podcast@happyfamilies.com ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Pause and ask: Is this really a child issue, or is the environment overstretched? Revisit routines — sleep, movement, screens, food — before jumping to quick fixes Try an “exploration conversation” with your child when emotions are high Stay curious, not certain — especially with big decisions Monitor new Roblox age-check and chat-safety changes if gaming is in your home See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you not enjoying your homeschool right now?You love your kids and you're grateful for this lifestyle — but lately, it feels heavy. The lessons drag, your energy is low, and joy feels far away.In this episode, Meg shares gentle encouragement for the mom who's showing up but not feeling it. You'll learn why you don't have to feel joy all the time to be faithful, how to reconnect with your “why,” and simple ways to bring beauty, peace, and delight back into your homeschool days.Listen in for honest encouragement, a mindset reset, and a reminder that you were called to this — and joy is still available, even here.

Homeschooling isn't a silver bullet—it's a God-given context. New survey data shows homeschool grads choose hard work over money (54% vs. 19%), marry more often (65% vs. 44%), welcome more children (2.5 vs. 1.7), and are nearly three times more likely to attend church and read Scripture. Kevin and Danny revisit the "socialization" question, highlight the family economy tradeoffs (often one income), and encourage moms and dads in the trenches: keep the aim on faith and character, not just factoring trinomials.

What if you could still enjoy "free time" while making intentional time for profit? As a Money Making Mom, we are torn between two worlds - but you don't have to do MORE... What if you could just harness the power or intentionality, and time? Well, if you haven't heard - success loves speed. So listen in to see how you can work WITH time to focus on intentional actions that build profit in your business WITHOUT sacrificing those precious parenting moments. Listen in to see how you can make money even faster with the 60 minute sprint  P.S. Want to get more time on your side? Take the TIME TURNER QUIZ to see how.

In this episode of Homeschool Conversations, I chat with Leilani Melendez—homeschooling mom of four, experienced teacher, and creator of Living with Eve. Leilani shares her personal journey of transitioning from the classroom to homeschooling, and how her perspective on education has shifted over the years.With warmth and honesty, Leilani talks about homeschooling her daughter with Down syndrome, what it means to slow down and meet each child where they are, and how to build a faith-filled foundation for learning. She offers practical insights on adapting academic lessons, balancing therapies and appointments, and inviting siblings to play an active role in the learning process.Leilani also emphasizes the importance of community and humility in the homeschool journey:“We're not meant to be by ourselves doing things on our own.”If you're considering homeschooling a child with special needs (or simply want encouragement to stay the course) this conversation will equip and inspire you.In this episode, we discuss:Shifting from an academic-only mindset to whole-person educationUnique joys and challenges of homeschooling a child with Down syndromePractical ways to adapt lessons while keeping a biblical focusFinding community and support in the homeschool journeyEncouragement for when homeschooling feels hardFind show notes and full transcript here: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/homeschooling-down-syndrome/Thank you to Podcast Season Sponsor Berean Builders.
