Building Lead Learners: How Big Families Create Natural Mentorship


Listen Later

What if the "chaos" of homeschooling multiple children is actually the secret to better learning? Two experienced homeschool moms with 7 and 8 children respectively share their hard-won wisdom on successfully educating large families. Courtney and Sarah break down the myths about homeschooling multiple children and reveal practical strategies for managing different ages, handling the chaos of littles during lessons, and creating a rhythm (not rigid schedule) that works. From filling little cups first thing in the morning to empowering older siblings as learning mentors, they offer concrete solutions for common challenges like toddlers climbing on tables during grammar lessons and juggling individual needs without losing your sanity. Whether you have two kids or ten, you'll discover why doing fewer things well beats trying to recreate separate grade-level classrooms at home, and how the one-room schoolhouse model actually makes learning more natural and effective for everyone.
