We thought about calling this "My teen took no GCSEs - look what happened next" or "10 reasons you don't need any exams". But perhaps that would be too sensationalist!

Listen in as 3 of our mums talk about the varied routes their children have taken through the maze of qualifications. Let them help you think about the options you have and which, if any, exams your home educated young people might want to take.

We’d love to be sitting with you around a blazing fire, sipping warm spiced drinks and partaking of mouthwatering mince pies whilst sharing our Christmas traditions and memories. However, as this sadly isn’t possible, we hope our special Christmas episode with Helen, Molly, Clare and Ruth will encourage you as you bake, wrap, make, or grab a few minutes to sit down yourself.

May you know the redeeming love of Jesus in the midst of your family this Christmas. We hope you get time to rest, replenish weary souls, laugh, play games, read good books, enjoy plenty of fresh air and eat delicious food.

If you are near the beginning of your home ed adventure, or are considering taking your child out of school and embarking upon home education, this is the episode for you! (Although we think there are nuggets of wisdom which will encourage you wherever you are on your journey). Come and listen to Ruth share her experiences of taking children out of secondary school and watching them flourish not only at home, but later on as older teens and young adults. If you have younger children we hope Molly’s long term perspective will reassure you and encourage you to enjoy this precious time with your little ones. And for those who have children with additional needs, please listen in and know you’re not alone.

I can’t promise that the Rooted to Flourish team have all the answers. And I think this will be a topic we need to revisit and dig into more deeply. For now, join us as Clare, Helen and Mary discuss some of their top tips for negotiating the busy-ness of a home ed life.

Join us as we introduce ourselves and say a little about our hopes for the podcast. We’re very excited to be embarking on this venture. We are aware, more than ever, of the profound task we have as mums – raising our children to to be like Daniel: living well in the world, but not of it. It is a God given calling, but not an easy one.

We’d love to be able to come alongside you and cheer you on from the sidelines as you live out your own unique home ed
