Welcome back to "Ten Minutes to a Better Homeschool." In this episode, host Pam Barnhill gives you a sneak peek of the upcoming course, "Navigating High School, A Guide to Confident Homeschooling." In this excerpt, Pam shares a candid conversation with guest speakers and homeschool moms Laney Homan, Dawn Garrett, and Heather Tully. 

Homeschooling high school isn't merely about checking off boxes on an academic syllabus but it’s about nurturing a well-rounded, capable individual ready to face the world beyond high school. As parents and educators, we must equip them not just with knowledge, but with confidence, resilience, and adaptability. Tune in for some practical advice and wisdom on how to prepare your high schoolers for success.

Key Takeaways:

  • Recognize that it's okay not to teach everything. Parents can't prepare them for every possible scenario.
  • It’s essential to focus on cultivating a well-rounded education.
  • Shift the mindset from a checklist approach to understanding that knowledge is not just a collection of information but also includes life skills, communication abilities, and the capacity to adapt to new environments.
  • Emphasize the importance of engaging in conversations and building relationships with high schoolers to understand their individual strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations, which can help guide their education.
  • Advocate for a supportive approach that involves coaching high schoolers through practical experiences, allowing them to learn the skills needed for the next stage of their journey, whether it's college, work, or other endeavors.
