In today's episode, we dive into the concept of nurturing a lifelong love of learning for our children. It's all about cultivating curiosity, encouraging them to ask questions, and guiding them through self-directed projects. You'll hear personal stories of fostering self-discovery and adaptability in kids, emphasizing the power of modeling this mindset ourselves. We explored practical ways to inspire an atmosphere of learning at home and how to balance structure and freedom. Remember, it's the process of learning that truly matters. Keep that curiosity alive! Tune in for more insights. Key Takeaways: Encourage Curiosity: Foster an environment where asking questions is welcomed. Curiosity is the key to lifelong learning, allowing children to explore new ideas and be confident in seeking knowledge. Model a Growth Mindset: Show children that their skills can be developed through effort and that there's always more to learn. This mindset guides them to embrace challenges and seek out learning opportunities. Create a Learning-Friendly Environment: Incorporate books, art supplies, and science tools throughout your home to naturally invite exploration and curiosity in your children's daily lives. Focus on Interests: Lean into your children's passions. Let their interests guide their learning journeys, as this interest-led approach can nurture a deeper love for learning and personal development. Promote Self-Directed Learning: Encourage children to take on projects and explore topics autonomously. This empowers them to become self-motivated and resourceful learners. Emphasize Process Over Product: Celebrate the effort and journey your children take in learning something new rather than just the end result. This builds resilience and a healthy attitude toward continuous learning. Incorporate Play in Learning: Use games and playful activities to teach valuable skills and reinforce learning. This approach enhances critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in a fun, engaging way. Keep an eye out for new courses and coaching programs, perfect for your family. Stay tuned for more information by joining our newsletter if you haven't already—it's the best way to ensure you're up-to-date with the latest resources and support.

You're probably totally on board with your homeschool not needing to resemble a public school schedule. But, you have curriculum, goals, and great ideas that you want to make sure you actually get to. Do you need to buy a planner? Get super organized with a calendar? Write out detailed plans? Wing it every day? Well, it really depends. I'm sharing five options with you today.

Normally, I keep my opinions about most homeschool topics to myself because we all need to come to our own conclusions. We each need to do what is best for our child, knowing there is no right or wrong way to homeschool, as long as each family is being true to their vision and goals. But now that we've been chatting here on the podcast for over 2 years, I thought a little candid breakdown of my thoughts on a few "controversial" homeschool topics would be fun. Remember, we're all friends here and this is purely my take on things. You can have a completely opposite opinion and we can both still homeschool and be friends. Are you ready to add a little spice?

It's well known how important reading is for your homeschool children. But, as a parent, you know that each of your children is different and an individual, which comes with challenges as you home educate. You really want them to learn to read well and enjoy reading so that they continue with it beyond their homeschooling years. But, there is also the question of what to read, when to read it, and how to go about getting better with reading comprehension. Today's guest, Jamie Erickson, of The Unlikely Homeschool will help you answer all of those questions...and more! She's been homeschooling her 5 children and currently has 2 graduates, along with an informative blog and amazing books. I promise that this episode will give you the next step wherever you find yourself in your child's reading journey, along with equipping you so that you may inspire them to choose really good books. ♥ Leigh   Jamie's website: https://jamieerickson.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheUnlikelyHomeschool/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unlikely_homeschool        DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S HOMESCHOOL WITH YOUR HOMESCHOOL BLUEPRINT https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint    CREATE YOUR HOME TASK SYSTEM WITH THE TIDY HOME 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: 89.

If we got a dollar every time someone suggested putting our kids in school, we'd have a good chunk of change by now, right? But I also have a sneaking suspicion that the thought of it being easier to just put your kids in school has crossed your mind a time or two. Or maybe quite a few times. No shame though. This was a thought in the back of my mind for many years as well. However, once you see the truth about this statement, the whole idea and premise behind where our kids are educated falls apart. My goal in this episode is to fill up your heart...as well as your ability to articulate this decision...so that you feel free to live out this calling of your family's.

When it comes to the end of a school year, moms usually have a sense of feeling ready to move on to the summer, but a lingering feeling of regret or uncertainty can hang overhead.

There are definitely some homeschool years that are more difficult than others. But, as a whole, most should be pretty good years of home educating your children. The problem is when moms expect a year to be amazing, but don't put in the necessary time for it to be amazing.

If I walked into your home most days, you'd probably be afraid that I would think you were running a three ring circus. But in reality, there is a lot of energy within your home and your heart is feeling pretty chaotic about it all. What if you were complicating things too much? And that was what was leading to the chaos? But your mind, body, and heart is craving simplicity and peace.

Are you tired of being so busy? Are you ready for a break and a slower pace? In today's episode, you'll learn two steps to help you slow down as a busy homeschool mom.   Busyness comes at a cost to our health, our relationships, and our walk with the Lord... Busyness is often a cause of stress that causes us to be short-tempered with our family, hurting the relationships with those we love most. Packing our schedules crowds out room for the Lord and for the Holy Spirit to move in our lives.  It's time to ditch the busyness and replace it with intentional routines and habits that leave room for the Lord and the blessings He has for your family, your home and homeschool.    Coaching.
