Are you navigating the challenges of homeschooling during the middle school years? In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative period of adolescence—those years between 11 and 13 that can feel like a whirlwind of emotions, growth, and shifting dynamics.

Homeschooling isn’t just about academics; it’s about shepherding your children through critical developmental phases. From the early days of homeschooling toddlers and enjoying the rhythm of elementary years to the distinct challenges of guiding pre-teens and teens, this talk unpacks how to adjust your expectations and embrace the opportunities for growth during puberty.

Discover practical insights on:

Understanding the distinct "middle school" phase.
Why homeschooling a 12-year-old feels like starting over (but isn't!).
How to guide your child toward responsibility and maturity.
Overcoming cultural obstacles to raising resilient, respectful adults.
The critical mindset shift moms must make during these transitional years.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the ups and downs of homeschooling a middle schooler, this episode will give you encouragement, perspective, and practical tips to navigate this season with confidence and grace.
