10 Minutes to a Better Homeschool

TMBH 72: The Importance of Finding Your Homeschooling Vision


Listen Later

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Kristelle Larson, a remarkable mom from our homeschooling community who’s been implementing my program "Put Your Homeschool Year on Autopilot" since the beginning. Kristelle's approach helps her handle her busy homeschool year efficiently while maintaining her sanity. 

We discuss her strategies, balancing multiple kids' educational needs, and how she streamlined her homeschool planning process. If you're curious about homeschooling or looking for practical advice, I promise this episode is a treasure trove.

Key Takeaways:

  • Advanced planning of the homeschooling year can greatly reduce stress and workload during the academic year itself.
  • Implementing the "Put Your Homeschool Year on Autopilot" system can be particularly beneficial, especially for parents with young children.
  • A homeschooling vision or educational philosophy can serve as a guiding light for homeschooling families, helping them stay focused and prevent overwhelm from the myriad of educational options available.
  • Homeschooling should adapt to the unique needs, strengths, and interests of each child. For example, incorporating arts and crafts for children who show a strong inclination towards art.
  • Trusting your instincts as a homeschooling parent is crucial. Knowing when to say yes and when to say no can help balance a child's learning journey.
  • Being involved in supportive homeschool communities can provide helpful insights and tips, while also reinforcing that you're not alone in this homeschooling journey.
  • Making use of AI tools like Chat GPT can facilitate the planning process, for instance, in creating a homeschooling vision, thereby saving valuable time and effort.
