When it comes to homeschooling, it’s a brand new territory that, for most of us, we’re still uncovering, discovering, and navigating.

If you’re anything like me, then the homeschooling experience can cause you to feel a little uptight, stressed, or even a little anxious.

In this episode, I’d like to suggest 5 tips for you to feel more confident and relaxed as a homeschool mom in hopes that it will encourage you to keep going on this daily grind of homeschooling.

If someone asked me what is the one thing I would caution or warn homeschool moms about, I would have to say the need to be on guard for "Stinking Thinking".

And one reason we have such negative thoughts and feelings is that our minds can be saturated with SELF-DOUBT.

But what can you do about it? 

And what does the bible have to say?

Tune in to this week's episode to find out.

This is an interview I just wasn't going to be able to have with just anyone! Dachelle  taught math in the private school system before she began to invest 10 years so far into homeschooling.  You will walk away with so much mindset and resource, you'll be amazed.  Listen in, and enjoy!

Do you ever wonder if you’re good enough to homeschool? Do you ever wonder if maybe it’s just you that is wanting something different for your family? Yes, you’re good enough, and No, it’s not just you.  Listen in and be encouraged.

It’s tempting to think after two weeks of homeschooling that you’re a failure! But I want to encourage you to gain a perspective that this is a marathon, and not a sprint! Listen in and take a deep breathe. :) 

When I pulled my son out of Kindergarten, I chose the exact same curriculum he was already using at his small school so that I could SEND HIM BACK after 6 months when it didn’t work.  HAHAHA! So, we started with traditional schooling and then moved on from there.  Listen in and see if this helps you make a move!

Homeschool perfection is impossible and boring. Be awesome instead! Tips for being an imperfectly awesome homeschool teacher. And for laughs... The 10 Commandments (suggestions for sanity) of a Homeschool Mom.

Today Wendy Speake and Kelli Stuart are talking about how common it is to feel that we’ve lost ourselves in this season of homeschooling. We used to have interests, passions and plans, even careers.

While Wendy and Kelli both had to learn to fit their writing careers into the cracks and crevices of family life, they want to encourage you to remember and reclaim some of your passions and pleasures.

Belinda Letchford is married to Peter and as you listen you will learn they live on a farm in Western Australia.  They are empty-nesters and for years Belinda homeschooled their children. 

Belinda shares practical advice about parenting, how to handle attitudes from our children, and how walking alongside with your kids is really the best way to parent!  

"Stay intentional, relational, and heart focused."
