Whether you're a public school teacher or a homeschool teacher or a parent, this episode is a special one. There is so much inspiration in this one episode that you do not want to miss! We have guest and homeschool expert Meg Thomas, the host of the Called to Homeschool podcast and she is diving into how to build a strong foundation with homeschool and so much more today.

Meg is a veteran homeschooling mama with over 15 year experience. Meg is also a Certified Life Coach, through the Life Coach School, specializing in helping homeschooling parents. She helps parents build relationships with their children and create peace in the home, so they can teach their children anything.

We dive into all concepts that are not just applicable to homeschooling. Meg shares her insights on why social-emotional needs are just as important as academic knowledge, and how developing good habits can lead to better mental health for both homeschooling parents and their children.

Meg also shares her three pillars for homeschooling: mind, heart, and habits. These three pillars serve as the foundation for building a strong homeschooling experience and family relationships. Focusing on the mind means prioritizing academic learning and developing critical thinking skills. Focusing on the heart means building emotional intelligence, fostering connection and relationships, and encouraging personal growth. Focusing on habits means instilling positive routines and habits that promote productivity, time management, and physical wellness.

By nurturing all three pillars, homeschooling parents can create a well-rounded and sustainable educational experience for their children.

Don't let the title of this episode fool you! This episode is not just for homeschool teachers. This episode is for parents, teachers and homeschool parents. There is something for everyone. You do not want to miss this special episode!
