Messy but Meaningful (formerly Ed Pursuits) Podcast - Happy Healthy Meaningful Life

In this episode we talk about what kids really need to learn and do and how you can tailor your homeschool to them and on the things they need. We also talk about some of the downsides of the government schools and how you can always send your kids back if homeschooling doesn't work out. But chances are that if you try homeschooling, you'll probably really enjoy it!

If you are not being cared for, you will not be able to care for others. You cannot pour from an empty cup. It can be hard to do, but it's important to exercise, drink enough water, get enough sleep, have meaningful relationships, take time to be still and calm and to heal. Things will work out!!

We talk about which subjects to study together and which ones to study individually. We talk about a few different resources for the different subjects and how it goes!

We talk about vision therapy, who it's for, how it can help and how to implement it into your homeschool.

We share our experience with speech therapy and learning to pronounce the American "r" sound. Start anything new with something quick and easy and then work up to more challenging exercises.

In this episode, we talk about how John Taylor Gatto was able to describe the public school system and how that can help you determine what kind of values you want to emphasize in your homeschool. Gatto emphasized the importance of alone time and allowing people to accomplish goals by learning through doing.
