Little by Little Homeschool - Christian Homeschooling and Motherhood

High school is one of the top reasons parents decide not to homeschool. There is a huge fear aspect attached to it.

"How could I ever homeschool the high school subjects?"

I've heard that one more times than I'd like to tell you. And to be honest, I used to say that too...until!!!! I started homeschooling high school.

But, I didn't go into it blindly: I had a plan and an end goal of the teen years. And guess what? It worked!

I'd like to share with you my approach and some of what I learned about homeschooing high school. Grab a pen and paper and let's get rid of the fear and come up with a solid plan.

Today, we're going to spend a few minutes running around the hamster wheel in your mind. You know, the one that yet again, says it's probably best to quit homeschooling. Or at the very least, it's what you want to do.

Honestly, I care too much about the success (and joy) of your homeschool to let you go down this path again. I'm not holding back in this episode because I really want to see you get to the other side of this thought (and behavior) pattern.

These days are truly too important to dwell even one more minute upon wanting to quit homeschooling.

Let's sit down and have a heart to heart.

328.Best Homeschool Advice When You're In The Thick Of The Home Education Years

When we take on the responsibility of home educating a child, a whole lot of "what if's?" pop into our head as homeschool moms. And we don't usually easily (or quickly) shake those.

It feels like a lot of pressure and we don't want to get anything wrong. And I get that.

But what if we could name the fears that you are facing and work through them one by one? That is the goal of today's episode: confront the top fears you are facing and really talk about how to overcome them.

I pray this episode blesses and equips you!

Let's be honest. There are so many opportunities nowadays and your days could get quite full. Should you take advantage of everything?

Today's episode lays out two distinct points to consider as you evaluate how you spend your time as a homeschool family. My hope is that it will provide clarity and peace for this and all your homeschool years.

There are so many ways to homeschool and more variations of methods than we can probably count. And that is one thing to love about homeschool: it is what you want it to be.

Over the years, I accumulated a couple of "hacks" that made homeschool much more personalized to my family and it also helped me manage our home education so much better.

These three simple shifts helped us to enjoy the year and I hope they are a help to you too. Grab a pen and paper to take a few notes and be sure to let me know which ones work for you!

We can all (and should) admit that homeschooling can be hard. There are highs and lows and concerns that moms have that are legitimate.

At times, it all just feels so overwhelming.

And you might feel stuck...wishing for someone to swoop in and wave a magic wand and everything will be better.

But what if I think that outsourcing is what is keeping you stuck in that cycle of concerns and problems? Today, I'm going to spell that out and show you what it looks like.

And by the end, there will be layers of hope in you that you don't need to outsource your child's education. I promise.

403.5 Things No One Tells You About Homeschooling

It can be so easy to slip away from our first goals of homeschooling and become so rigid in our home education. The pressure from state requirements, family members, the desire for them to excel, or just getting lost in the weeds of what we are really preparing our children for is very common.

One thing that gets pushed easily to the back burner is creativity.

Children are naturally creative and as adults, with the weight of the world on our shoulders and a home full of children, it doesn't always feel important to protect and encourage creativity.

Whether you need to add or embrace creativity...or are wondering if you're doing enough of it...I have a few ideas on what this could look like in your homeschool.

Take some notes and then run with it and get creative yourself!

The academics are important in homeschool, but it wasn't the only reason you decided to homeschool. Were you hoping to preserve your children's innocence, time, and heart?

If so, it can be so easy to fill up and maximize every moment of the homeschool years. And those may be filled with really good things, but what if you look back someday and realize they lost childhood because of your zeal?

I have a few questions for you to think on as you consider if there is room for childhood in your homeschool. And I think this is a really good time of the year to weigh all your plans against the big picture of their childhood years.

It might be hard to imagine at the beginning of the homeschool year, but there will be hard days at times. Maybe even ones you'd call "bad." And it doesn't matter how long you've been homeschooling. Rough days are inevitable, no matter how much you plan, pivot, and work on attitudes.

Now that we know there will be some bad days, what is done in light of that bad day, is what is important.

These types of days can be turned into good for our homeschool when you learn how to recover from it.

Let's get you prepared so you can recover well and quickly...

There is a phenomenon that occurs in homeschool households across the world every day. And you would think we, as homeschool moms, would have embraced it with zeal and excitement.

Well, maybe you have, but I certainly did not.

It's called: everyone needs {and wants} to eat again.

So here you are, back in the kitchen providing another meal or snack. And it is sucking the last bit of joy out of you.

As I'll share in this episode, this was me every single day. And I want to share a few tips that helped me get out of the cycle.

Grab a pen and paper to jot these down and then see which will make the biggest impact for your family right now and begin making those changes that will lighten the load a little bit.

You didn't just randomly choose to swim upstream against the current and do something different than the culture at large on a whim. No, you had your reasons.

But somewhere along the way, it's so easy for homeschool moms to get lost in the weeds of homeschool and lose sight of what you are aiming for.

Today's episode is all about helping you refocus and get back on track towards your target by asking what really matters when it's all said and done. My hope is that this gives you inspiration as you begin this new homeschool year.

As a homeschool mom with three graduates and a front row seat to older teens and young adults, I can see first hand the benefit of taking the time when our children are young to teach them specific habits and skills.

Does it take longer? Yes.

Will it sometimes be frustrating? Yes.

Do you only do the easy things as a parent? No.

Today's episode is my {insert dramatic sigh} plea to see the opportunity of homeschool beyond the academics. Consider this an opportunity to shift some priorities and take a look at the big picture of launching your kids out into the world.

Guess what? They're going to grow up and be out on their own in the world someday. There is no stopping that. But what if they could be "domesticated?" I believe it will benefit them and others greatly.

Grab that iced tea and let's chat!

And some of you are just curious to know if you actually do like it.

398.Why I Chose Not To Give Tests Or Grades To My Homeschoolers And What I Did Instead

When you think about homeschool, your mind most likely goes straight to curriculum, co-ops, field trips, and so on. And that is totally understandable, as it is a part of homeschool.

But, take a step back and look at the big picture of homeschooling. It's not just the education of particular subjects, but more like an entire way of living.

Beyond the home education, moms have a lot to factor in. Things like meals, naps, discipleship, bed times, routines, sports, church, friendships, holidays, vacations and on and on.

All of these things combined can feel overwhelming, so I thought it would be good to bring this up as you begin a brand new homeschool year. Let's get out of feeling overwhelmed so you aren't fried and exhausted at the end of each day.

Let's have a chat about it...

And maybe you are feeling good about keeping up with everyone in the day to day, but add in the homeschool and it's been a rough go of it.

There is no shame in needing some advice or help. Listen, I am now the first one to raise my hand and ask for a little insight. And today, I hope to get your brain going. I have a few simple tips so that you can meet your goals with home educating multiple children that I hope will give you a boost as you hit the ground running this homeschool year.

More than anything else, homeschool moms question their own ability to homeschool. We don't typically doubt our children's ability to learn.

I'm not mincing words in this episode because you probably don't need any fluff right about now. What I want is to shoot it straight and then build you up. That combination has the possibility of launching you into a really good homeschool year.

Grab an ice tea and pull up a chair while the kids play and let's have a good chat.

174.10 Things to Consider When Beginning a New Homeschool Year

In an effort to make sure that we are "doing enough," the typical homeschool mom will add a bunch more things to the list and then wonder if it's too much.

Funny how we like to swing that pendulum from one end to another.

Today's episode is aimed at how much is too much for your homeschool. I have a few key points that will help you to measure this as you step into the new homeschool year soon. However, these take-aways are applicable for any time of the year.

My hope is that my words lead you and your family to a place of contentment with your homeschool education.
