35. How to Homeschool With Littles Underfoot (Without Losing Your Mind)


Listen Later

Homeschooling multiple ages at once can feel impossible-fractions for one child, a spilled sensory bin for another, and someone melting down over a "weird" pencil. You don't need to clone yourself-you need a different way of thinking. In this episode of The Homeschool Hug, I share simple rhythms and tools that make teaching older kids possible while littles are in the mix.

What you'll learn:

  • The "sliding scale of attention" to decide who needs you most each day
  • How to stack and block your day (family time, independent work, 1:1 focus, flex)
  • Tools that let you "clone yourself" (audiobooks, short videos, checklists, sibling helpers)
  • Why consistency beats a one-size-fits-all schedule
  • How to keep your sanity by prioritizing relationship over rigor

Quick recap: Use the sliding scale, stack and block time, build independence with simple tools, and let your rhythm fit this season-not a classroom bell schedule.
