    Among the many questions and fears that homeschool parents worry about, the question of whether their child is behind tops the list.

    Do you find yourself quietly whispering this question? Do you voice it to your husband? Does it just sit there nagging you in the back of your mind? Do you have others asking you this question flat out?

    All of those scenarios don't help settle your anxious heart. But, I surely hope today's episode does.

    Let's sit down and have a little heart to heart, okay? Freedom in your home education will happen once you listen and embrace today's message.

    One of the top reasons that moms are scared to homeschool is that she doesn't know how to teach her children of different ages and gender. She looks at the school system and it makes sense to separate children, at least by age. But, looking at her every day is a mixture of boys and girls and various ages.

    Instead of seeing this as a negative, homeschool moms can actually provide an amazing education based upon the uniqueness of a family.

    Do you feel intimated or overwhelmed with homeschooling your boys and girls? I felt the same way, but learned through the years how to optimize this instead of being anxious about it.

    Grab a notebook and get ready to make some really great changes to your homeschool!

    Every child has been created by God with a uniqueness, but there tends to be a few overarching themes when they are separated by gender.

    It can become easy to be frustrated with boy behavior. They tend to puzzle us as homeschoool moms. But, what if instead of seeing what they do as an annoyance, we look at it differently?

    Today, I am sharing my top tips that I've learned and employed as a homeschool mom to grow my boys into young men and not just merely survive, but to thrive as their mother.

    Find a few moments of quiet or put on those noise canceling headphones and get ready to look at your boys differently after this episode.

  • It seems like everywhere you turn, someone is adding to the list of subjects to cover in your homeschool. And those are all really great courses of study and enrichment, but maybe they're not right for you.

    Simplicity is calling your name. And you'd rather get really good at a few subjects and topics than try to cover everything.

    Let's link arms and pare down the list to make it more manageable. And we'll let the cherry on top be the idea of thinking outside the box because not every area of study can fit neatly in a box...or time block.

    Maybe the other end of the spectrum appeals to you and you're worried that your fly by the seat of your pants isn't enough for your homeschool.

  • No one starts something with the intention of quitting. And that especially applies towards parents making decisions about their children. Of course, homeschooling is included in that!

    So, if no one plans to quit, why are there numbers of families doing just that? Could your family be next?

    Over the past decade, I've observed a few trends and one of them is the when, who, and why behind walking away from homeschooling. I thought that this should be brought to light and openly discussed so that you can combat this possibility on a personal level.

    Let's break it down and see what exactly leads to quitting, but then I've got hope for you to stay the course...I promise not to leave you hanging with bad news!

  • Have you thought about the fact that your children are home with you and a bit of a captive audience at this point? It's true!

    With all the years of homeschooling and launching two of my children into the world, I have zero regrets of the time we focus on character training. And some days, it was the main goal for the day because it mattered more than the geography lesson.

    Grab a pen and paper and get ready to analyze your goals after this episode!

  • Homeschooling is very uniqe from the classroom setting because...hint, hint...you aren't trying to recreate that, but you most likely have multiple children at different ages and abilities. All sitting (maybe) and looking at you for direction.

    And there is only one of you! {Or two if you count Dad.}

    How in the world are you supposed to teach one child to read, the other how to write a paragraph, and another mathematical order of operations? And at the very same time!

    I've got you. This was me for many years of homeschooling. But, I found some tips that helped me to actually accomplish our goals and keep my sanity too.

    And maybe part of you is praying that your children will grow up to be parents who want to homeschool their children...your grandchildren!

    Today's guest, Kirsten Vossler, from Rejoicing in Motherhood podcast is going to give you a glimpse into what that looks like. Kirsten's parents homeschooled her and the impact it made on her life is still rippling.

    As if that topic wasn't enough, Kirsten shares how she and her husband focus on discipleship in their home, along with the practicality of homeschooling with babies and toddlers in our arms.

    Are you trying to maintain the peace in your home and encourage good relationships among your children?

    I'm sharing from my own personal experience of changing the story when it comes to sibling relationships and how my husband and I helped to ensure great friendships among our children, all in today's episode.

  • "What grade are you in?"

    It's such a super common question in our society. Most people don't even flinch when they hear it. And kids in public school quickly give an answer.

    But, if you've ever asked a homeschooler this question, some of them freeze like a deer in headlights. Others may slowly give a reply. Either way, it isn't a super prevalent question in the homeschool world.

    What does this mean for the homeschool mom though? Today's episode is going to walk you through the meaning behind grade levels and give you lots of ideas on how to approach this with your homeschooled children.
