How to homeschool your struggling learner in "Distracting December" | 129

Hi Homeschool mom!

It's the holidays! Get excited!

This week we share why "Distracting December" is one of the best times to press pause — especially if you’re homeschooling special needs kids who struggle with reading, math, or focus.  A slower December can actually help them learn better. Children's brains need downtime to process, consolidate, and reset, and this time of year gives you a natural window to let that happen.

You’ll hear simple, realistic homeschool holiday ideas that count as meaningful learning during Christmas time: baking, card-writing, music, creating gifts, storytelling, and more. These “life school” moments support struggling learners without adding pressure during an already full month.  Enjoy this time!

 

Holiday Blessings,

Kim and Jenny❤️💚
