How can you help a child who learns differently truly thrive?

Zan Tyler sits down with longtime friend and educator Beth Moore, who spent 25 years teaching in public, private, and homeschool classrooms and homeschooled her own two children with ADHD and dyslexia. Together, they discuss neurodivergence, the strengths often hidden within learning differences, and the support children need to succeed. Your child may learn differently, but with patience, understanding, and the right tools, they can flourish.

What happens when homeschooling feels too hard to carry, but too important to let go? Zan Tyler welcomes Caleb and Tamara Wheat, known as Doin’ It with a Dozen, to share their remarkable story of loss, love, blended family life, and returning to homeschooling after a year in private school. From the everyday logistics of PB&J sandwich-making to the bigger questions of grief, discipleship, and family life, Caleb and Tamara share the deeper encouragement every homeschool parent needs: you do not have to do it perfectly for it to be worth it. Choose the hard that keeps your children’s hearts close.

How quickly can homeschool freedom disappear?

Zan Tyler and Caleb Price examine two headline-making developments in Connecticut and New Hampshire that reveal just how quickly homeschool laws can change. They also discuss why discipleship remains at the heart of homeschooling and the responsibility parents have to steward freedom well. As they reflect on the future of home education, Zan and Caleb highlight why homeschool graduates continue to demonstrate the academic, leadership, and character qualities our culture desperately needs. Freedom is never guaranteed. It must be understood, protected, and passed on to the next generation.
