      Working homeschool mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to choose a math curriculum for your homeschool. That's why I'd like to tell you about the online math curriculum we've been using for years – CTCMath.com.

      As far as math curriculums go, it has loads of great features that solve lots of the math issues we've had and I know a lot of homeschooling families have. Here are a few of the features (from the many) that we really like:

      • Questions are adaptive which means the interactive questions change in difficulty depending on the student's ability. They use a smart algorithm that tracks the student's progress and delivers questions based on their unique needs. The student doesn’t even know this is happening, helping them to build confidence and master concepts!
      • Concepts are delivered through video tutorials and summaries which are clear, complete, and easy to follow [like having your very own teacher]. This ensures your children understand something before they're asked to practise it.
      • And then for us parents, CTCMath has:

        • Extensive reports which are valuable in monitoring your child's progress and spotting any gaps.
        • And they offer a 12-month money-back guarantee if this curriculum is not for you and your family. CTCMath will provide a full refund, no questions asked.
        • But I think the most important things is a whole lot LESS stress when it's math time for both parents AND kids. You get to outsource math with confidence and your kids get a fantastic tailor-made programme that makes learning and mastering math enjoyable and positive.

        • The Power of EQ for Children | Karen Stone, EqForChildren.com | The Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, S3 E130

          About the Podcast

          On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I have the great pleasure of welcoming Karen Stone, BA, Special Ed, MA, Learning Disabilities, onto the podcast. Karen has worked in the education field for more than 45 years.

          Karen’s education background and her own experiences of being bullied from childhood to early adulthood, at home and school led her to authoring an anti-bullying blog, www.howwestopbullying.com.

          Karen’s work is also influenced by her experiences raising a son with significant disabilities.

          Karen’s professional experiences as an educator showed her that for children to be successful, whether they had disabilities or not, they needed to value themselves, each other and their abilities.

          As CEO of SoftStone Products, Inc., Karen has written and piloted research-based children’s Emotional Intelligence (EQ) programs implemented with students from Preschool to High School. Karen’s new book, Is Your Child’s World Emotionally Safe?, reveals her personal story but also makes a compelling case for the inclusion of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in every home and classroom.

          It was wonderful chatting to Karen and hearing about the importance of teaching our little ones EQ from a young age. She shares some really interesting ways to include this in your homeschool, even as a busy working homeschool mom.

                                    Working homeschool mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to choose a math curriculum for your homeschool. That's why I'd like to tell you about the online math curriculum we've been using for years – CTCMath.com.

                                    As far as math curriculums go, it has loads of great features that solve lots of the math issues we've had and I know a lot of homeschooling families have. Here are a few of the features (from the many) that we really like:

                                    • Questions are adaptive which means the interactive questions change in difficulty depending on the student's ability. They use a smart algorithm that tracks the student's progress and delivers questions based on their unique needs. The student doesn’t even know this is happening, helping them to build confidence and master concepts!
                                    • Concepts are delivered through video tutorials and summaries which are clear, complete, and easy to follow [like having your very own teacher]. This ensures your children understand something before they're asked to practise it.
                                    • And then for us parents, CTCMath has:

                                      • Extensive reports which are valuable in monitoring your child's progress and spotting any gaps.

                                        When I think back to when I started homeschooling as a working mom, I wasted so much time! My idea of where to start with homeschooling was quite misguided to be honest! 

                                        I concentrated on all the wrong things and it caused resistance from my kids, me to be totally frustrated and general bad vibes in our house. Not fun! 

                                        On today's episode of The Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I want to share with you what I found to be really important. It might come as a surprise to you. Or you might think that it doesn’t even make sense. But hear me out first please! 

                                        Because if I can save you even a few days or weeks of stress and frustration, it will be totally worth it! I will have done my job!
