014 Navigating the Chaos: A Few Tips for Homeschooling Multi-Age Kids


Listen Later

Join us as we explore the world of homeschooling multiple ages at one time. We will discover practical strategies for combining lessons, teaching in a "family style," involving older children, utilizing independent activities, and implementing a flexible schedule. We will also discuss the importance of chore time and creating a harmonious learning environment.

Key Takeaways:

  • Combine lessons: Adapt curriculum for different ages to streamline learning. Teach to the middle when possible.
  • Teach in “family style”: Foster community with shared activities like morning time or afternoon family activities.
  • Involve older children: Empower older siblings to assist with younger children's education.
  • Use independent activities: Provide engaging tasks for younger children to work on independently while you work with the older children.
  • Implement a block schedule: Plan your day with flexibility in mind. Have an ideal week, but be flexible within the schedule.
  • Prioritize chore time: Maintain a clean and organized home environment.
