This week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Resources for Homeschoolers Who Learn Differently with Keisha Berry.

There’s not ONE right way to homeschool and there’s not ONE kind of homeschooler! That’s why Vicki was so excited to talk to our friend, Keisha Berry of Spectrum Education and Therapy Center, again about resources for homeschoolers who learn differently.

This story highlights the respect that Vicki has for Keisha’s work:

“Keisha and I were both at the MACHE Convention in 2025. We both had tables next to each other in the vendor hall. It was early in the morning, and the doors had just opened for people to come into the building. Then a distraught grandmother who was homeschooling her grandchild entered the room. She was determined to find help for her grandson who was having learning problems. She couldn,’t figure out how to help him find the resources he needed. You could see desperation as she walked into the room, it was just radiating off of her. She started just talking to the room, “I’m homeschooling my grandson and I need help, and he needs help.”

Then Keisha just stood up and in this authoritative, calm voice, like the subject matter expert she is, “There’s help. We’ll get you help.” And I watched the calm descend on that grandmother from the top of her head down her face and her body relaxed.”

Both Keisha and Vicki have homeschooled their own kids who have some learning differences. Vicki’s kids have all made it to adulthood, thanks to I had access to resources to help my kids who needed help.

Keisha started to consider homeschooling when she began to get comments on her son’s report card in the first grade. The teacher said that although he made straight A’s, he was inattentive and hyperactive. Keisha was working in his school as a special education teacher at the time, and I knew at that point that he needed something that he was not getting in school.

Keisha’s sister, Dr. Rochelle Matthews-Somerville (who has also discussed learning differences on Homeschool Highschool Podcast before), was already homeschooling. She suggested homeschooling to Keisha. So, she decided to try homeschooling. Keisha thought it was going be a temporary situation, but the next thing she knew, it was sixteen years later.

Taking him out of school did not take away his inattentiveness or his hyperactivity. However, Keisha taught him how to manage himself through strategies for executive functioning, such as:

He was not required to sit at a desk

No matter how many skills you have, the ADHD-type inattentiveness does not really go away. Sometimes it pops up into real life. After high school, Keisha’s son was applying for jobs. He accidentally applied for a job in Saudi Arabia. When he interviewed with several people about the job, no one mentioned the location!

At the last interview, he was hired. That’s when he learned that he was going to Saudi Arabia!

It was two weeks between the time of the last interview and when he got on the plane!

There is a famous homeschool theory: We teach our children how to learn, not what to learn.

Using his skills on “how to learn”, Keisha’s son went online, and he figured out what he needed to do. He learned about the culture so that he was dressed appropriately and was respectful of their customs.

Now he is working in Saudi Arabia, living his best life! The inattentiveness has not prevented his success. In fact,  it is Keisha’s theory is that ADHD is just a different kind of way the brain works. It is a kind of neurodiversity that is a gift if you know how to:

In college, Keisha’s son majored in Cultural Anthropology. He loved his study-abroad programs, where he traveled to Greece and Senegal. His love of globe-trotting was a gift God gave him, so the trip to Saudi Arabia was not overwhelming to him at all.

Keisha had worked for years as a special educator. She holds a master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, which includes Speech and Language Pathology. Keisha had always worked in multidisciplinary settings, especially working closely with occupational therapists. She was able to use her training and experience to help her son maximize his gifts and manage his weaker areas.

As she started homeschooling her son, she used her skills to learn how he learned.

He did not always want to learn things that his parents thought he should learn about, so he had to learn to learn the required subjects. (They live in  Maryland, and we have seven subjects that they required to show that you’re doing regular and thorough instructions in.)

Along with this, he learned how to research and learn about things that interested him. For instance, during the pandemic, he was curious if there had been epidemics in the past. So he researched and learned about Ebola. For instance, he learned about what the government did to address the health crisis. He saw how politics affected addressing an epidemic. Then, he was able to draw comparisons, and he actually started to understand the current situation.

One of the greatest gifts a homeschooling parent can give their student who learns differently is to help them discover and invest in their interests.  Keisha had known that ever since he was a little boy, her son was a National Geographic magazine fanatic. So, she made sure that those subscriptions continued throughout his homeschooling. In the magazines, her son read and learned about other places in the world. By the time he went to college, he was ready to travel the world and see things for himself!

His desire for traveling sparked Keisha and her son with the opportunity to learn to manage his ADHD inattentiveness to details. With ADHD, some details will likely be missed (as in ending up with a job in Saudi Arabia). However, he learned to handle many of the details for his adventures.

One of his favorite tools is a really cool feature on Google where you can tell Google to group the tabs that are open. Google will group them based on topic. So now, he can think about a million things at once, and he has Google to assist him by compartmentalizing them for him.

Many of the other tools that Keisha’s son learned to use came from her expertise in working with children who learn differently. These are the same tools that she used at Spectrum Education and Therapy Center.

Spectrum Education and Therapy Center is a multidisciplinary practice. Keisha and her colleagues work with homeschoolers to build tools for success with their homeschoolers. Her staff includes:

While Spectrum Education and Therapy Center is located in Maryland, you do not have to be in Maryland to access it. Keisha and her staff have a selection of virtual programs and events. These include workshops for new homeschooling families and monthly support groups for homeschool families.

Check SETClearning’s monthly calendar for upcoming events, programs, and workshops.

Keisha says, “If you have something specific you’d like to talk about or you know, you’re just getting started or you’ve been homeschooling for a while and you just want to check in, you know, with a fellow homeschool mom, I am more than happy to to chat with you!”

Have a happy homeschool week!

Welcome, dear listeners, to another encouraging episode of Vintage Homeschool Moms. As a mom who’s homeschooled for over three decades, I’ve faced those moments when the weight of curriculum choices, daily chores, and family dynamics feels like too much. But today, we’re shifting from survival mode to thriving by focusing on innovative, faith-grounded approaches that go beyond the basics. Whether you’re a Christian or Catholic family seeking spiritual alignment or approaching homeschooling from a secular viewpoint, these ideas are adaptable to renew your energy and keep the joy alive in your home education.

Burnout often creeps in when our expectations clash with reality—perhaps from overcommitting to co-ops, rigid schedules that don’t flex with life, or neglecting personal recharge time. In my own experience, it showed up as irritability during lessons or dreading the start of a new week. Drawing from biblical principles like finding rest in the Lord (as in Matthew 11:28), we can view burnout not as failure but as a signal to realign. For families of all backgrounds, this means assessing your current setup: Are you trying to replicate traditional school too closely, or ignoring the natural ebbs and flows of home life?

One key to lasting strength is crafting flexible weekly plans that incorporate variety. Instead of a one-size-fits-all schedule, try theme-based days—like “Exploration Monday” for hands-on science or history projects, which keeps things fresh and prevents monotony. I’ve found that rotating subjects based on energy levels helps; for instance, tackle high-focus tasks in the morning when everyone’s alert, and save creative activities for afternoons. This approach, inspired by the idea of stewardship over our time, allows space for unexpected blessings or challenges without derailing the whole day.

Another effective method is integrating short, purposeful breaks with movement or nature. Step outside for a 10-minute walk to discuss a lesson informally, or use that time for quick household resets. This not only combats mental fatigue but also models balance for your kids, showing them that productivity includes self-care. For faith-centered homes, frame these pauses as moments to appreciate creation, fostering gratitude that counters exhaustion.

Isolation can amplify burnout, so intentionally build connections with other homeschoolers. Join or start a local co-op where you swap teaching duties—one week you handle math games, the next a friend covers art. In my years, these partnerships have been lifesavers, providing accountability and fresh perspectives. Online forums or apps for homeschool meetups can work too, especially if in-person options are limited. Think of it as embodying the community spirit in scriptures like Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, where two are better than one, but it’s equally valuable for secular families seeking practical collaboration.

Delegate age-appropriate responsibilities to your children to lighten your load. Create a family chore wheel or assign “helper roles” during school time, like older siblings guiding younger ones in reading. This empowers kids with ownership and frees you up, turning potential stress points into growth opportunities. I’ve seen this transform our home dynamic, reducing my overwhelm while building their independence.

To sustain your role, carve out non-negotiable “mom time”—perhaps an evening hobby like journaling goals or listening to uplifting audiobooks. Set boundaries, such as ending school by a certain hour to enjoy family downtime. Reframe challenges positively: Instead of seeing a tough day as defeat, celebrate small wins, like a child’s “aha” moment. For Christian families, this ties into renewing your mind as in Romans 12:2, but anyone can benefit from mindset tools like daily affirmations focused on progress over perfection.

Overcoming burnout isn’t about drastic overhauls but consistent, intentional steps that restore balance and purpose. By implementing these strategies, you’ll move from feeling depleted to embracing the abundance homeschooling offers. Thanks for tuning in, friends—may your week be filled with renewed vigor and meaningful connections.

Podcast: Making Biblical Family Life Practical with Hal & Melanie Young
Episode: Dealing With Conflict With Tweens and Teens (replay)

“Is it normal for a nine-year-old boy to be angry?”

In this episode, Hal and Melanie Young respond to a parent’s honest question—with a big backstory behind it. Family stress, pressure, and emotional overload can collide with early puberty changes and create what the Youngs call the “rage monster years.” The good news: while it can feel scary and personal, this season is often normal, predictable, and shepherdable.

You’ll learn how to respond biblically and practically when your tween or teen loses control—without escalating the conflict, losing your authority, or damaging the relationship.

Why hormonal emotional changes in boys often begin before physical changes are visible

How to recognize when your child’s anger is developmental vs. intensified by family stress

What to do when your tween/teen starts making wild accusations and blaming you for how they feel

Why parents must avoid “jumping on the roller coaster” and instead become the steady reference point

A practical step-by-step approach to conflict:

Stay calm

Pray immediately

Separate to cool down if needed

Listen first

Bring it to God’s Word

Address disrespect after they’re teachable

Why you “can’t discipline until they are teachable” (discipline as discipleship, not payback)

How modeling repentance and humility can increase respect, not reduce it

The long-term payoff: when you shepherd this stage well, the teen years can be sweet and strong

Many parents expect emotional turbulence to begin with obvious puberty markers—but the hardest emotional changes often come first. Knowing this ahead of time helps parents respond with clarity instead of fear.

When kids feel angry for reasons they don’t understand, they instinctively look for a “cause.” Parents become the easiest target. If you respond emotionally, you accidentally validate their narrative.

Hal and Melanie emphasize that you are the adult in the room. Your child may feel out of control, but they should not be allowed to run the home emotionally. You don’t need your child’s permission to parent—God gave you that responsibility.

Correcting disrespect matters—but punishment in the middle of an emotional spiral usually escalates the war. The goal is to cool the fire, remove the fuel, and wait until the child can actually receive instruction.

Listening doesn’t mean agreeing. It means showing your child they matter and that the relationship is secure. When you listen, you remove a common weapon: “You don’t care. You never listen.”

This episode reinforces that God’s Word carries more authority and power than parental frustration. A key reminder: “The wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God.” (James)

Shepherding a Child’s Heart — Ted Tripp

The Heart of Anger — Lou Priolo

This stage can be one of the hardest—especially when family stress is already high. But Hal and Melanie share hope from their own parenting journey: when you shepherd your kids through this time with steadiness, humility, and biblical clarity, you can build a stronger relationship that pays dividends through the teen years.

Do you feel like you’re failing because your kids’ character, or math skills, or writing aren’t where they should be? Did you plan to read more books, finish more lessons, and make more healthy meals than you did? Or do you feel like you’re failing personally in your faith, organization, or health? If so, know that I can relate. I’m Dr. Melanie Wilson and this is The Homeschool Sanity Show where I will share three reasons you think you’re failing and how you can just stop that already. Seriously, I want you to feel better after listening to this episode. So grab a cup of coffee, some laundry to fold, or some sneakers and let’s get over this failure fixation, shall we?

I have always thought I homeschooled six kids in spite of my weaknesses in organization, patience, and focus. Then I watched a video clip of Pastor Emmanuel Iren discussing Jonah’s impact on Nineveh and my whole perspective changed. I was likewise focused on Jonah’s weaknesses. He was bitter and disobedient. But he was the perfect prophet to accomplish God’s purposes. Before Jonah arrived, the people of Nineveh believed in a god that was a man who emerged from a fish.

You’re going to catch on to this quickly, so I will just say it. God chose Jonah because he knew he would run to the boat to avoid preaching to the Ninevites. He didn’t choose Jonah in spite of this weakness. Jonah did have a very good prophet characteristic, however. He told the truth. The men said, “What up?” and he told them he was running from God. The men apparently thought this God was just an average God that was no concern to them. Until the storm threatened them. They cast lots to see who was responsible, and who made the lot fall on Jonah? God. I love that Jonah continues to be honest and says, “Yep, it’s me. I’m responsible for the storm. Throw me overboard.” That was no kind of honesty that these men were used to and they were scared. They threw out everything else but Jonah to survive the storm, but as you know it didn’t work. They threw Jonah out and prayed to the one true God for mercy.

A big fish swallows Jonah and delivers him to the shores of Nineveh where the people can see him being spit out. Can you imagine? They’re rubbing their eyes in disbelief. Jonah is in a much more obedient state of mind after his time out in a fish. He tells the people to repent and they are willing to listen to anything this man from God has to say.

Now what does this have to do with why you feel like you’re failing? If you are focused on your weaknesses as a source of failure, you’ve missed the boat. God may very well have chosen you to homeschool your children at this time BECAUSE of your weaknesses. God knew I was disorganized. He knew that I was drowning in a mess until a flyfisherwoman called the FLYLady pulled me in and taught me about routines. She set me free so I could homeschool and handle more kids. Like Jonah I was ready to preach! I shared my story with other homeschool moms in The Organized Homeschool Life.

God used a disobedient prophet to save a ship full of sailors and an entire city. So God can surely use your weaknesses to teach your children. I ask you now to consider how God has used your weaknesses for good. And throw the idea of weaknesses meaning failure overboard.

You know it’s wrong, but you keep sneaking peeks at what your homeschool neighbor is doing. I did that at my son’s homeschool kindergarten graduation. I agreed to participate before I knew any better. I thought it was a photo op with cake. But no, apparently it was an exhibition for homeschool talent scouts.

I was shocked that several kindergarteners provided the music for the graduation. I didn’t even have my son in lessons yet. Clearly, I was already years behind. While a couple of these youngsters spoke for the ceremony, my son wasn’t even paying attention. There was more of this to come.

I put my son in soccer in second grade. He would look everywhere but the field during games and slowly jogged behind the players moving the ball. His coach left him on the bench most of the time, and even my husband concluded he wasn’t athletic.

When he started high school, I didn’t even consider putting him in leadership activities some of the other homeschooled boys were in. He just didn’t have the personality they had.

When it came time for my son to go to college, he entered with an undeclared major. His best friend knew exactly what he wanted to do.

Comparing had me thinking I had failed. But here’s the end of the story. This son of mine learned to play multiple instruments, mostly on his own. He asked to be part of our church’s worship team. In college he started playing handball and excelled at it. He also started playing in pickleball tournaments and winning. He convinced his younger siblings to join the handball team and started a book club with friends and siblings as a working adult. He decided to become a physician’s assistant while in college. He arranged to get the patient hours he needed, was accepted to PA school, graduated, and got a job he loves.

Now, I am not responsible for this young man’s success. But neither did I fail him. Instead of comparing yourself to other moms or your kids to theirs, compare where you and your child are now to where you started. No doubt you’ve made progress.

I recently began working on being able to do a pull-up. To build my strength, I was going to do negative pull-ups. You jump up to a bar and slowly lower yourself. I jumped up to the pull-up bar, only I didn’t slowly lower. I very quickly landed flat on my back because the bar wasn’t secure. I’m thrilled to say that I was okay. Thanks be to God.

But this is how I started my homeschooling journey too. I thought I was strong enough and disciplined enough to do it. And pride goeth before a fall. My pull-up training WAS a fail, but that was my first effort. After throwing the pull-up bar in the trash, I went to the gym and used a pull-up machine. I stood on a step that provided the support I needed when my strength wasn’t up to the job. Since then I have been doing negative pull-ups at home. At first I asked my husband to spot me.

God is our strength and support for everything we do in this homeschooling life. He bears the burdens. He makes things work even when we mess up. All we have to do is ask Him. If we could do it in our own strength, we would be filled with pride. We wouldn’t depend on Him.

God also provides support through a spouse, family, and friends. I could not have finished the job of homeschooling without their help and encouragement. Ask yourself if you’ve been trying to do homeschooling with no support. If so, ask for help. One thing I have learned about other homeschoolers in particular is they LOVE to help.

If you felt like you were failing when you started this podcast because you were focused on your weaknesses, comparisons, or doing it all yourself, I hope you’re beginning to see the shore come into focus. You will land on your feet when you see that everything is working out exactly as God planned.

And one more thing. Although Jonah’s failure is in print for thousands of years, your children are unlikely to remember your shortcomings. What will be a lasting memory is your faith in God and your love for them.

Be sure to subscribe for more encouragement. Have a happy homeschool week!

This week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Passion Leads to Purpose for Teens with Maynard Okereke.

We are SO excited about this episode! One of our favorite things to do is talk to people who are doing interesting, fun, and inspiring things. Vicki has been enjoying the Hip Hop Science Show, so she contacted the Hip Hop Scientist, Maynard Okereke, and asked if he would talk to our podcast friends.

Vicki first discovered Maynard Okereke on Instagram. When she listened to his story, she said to herself, “This is the heart that we homeschool parents have for our teens!” Then, she discovered his YouTube channel MayNERD’s Wild World of Science, full of fascinating and fun science videos. She knew she had to invite him to talk to everyone on the podcast!

Maynard is not just a science lover, but an actual engineer who turned his love for music, acting, and science into a mission to make learning exciting for kids everywhere! Whether it’s crazy nature explorations through the jungle, or experiencing zero gravity on the vomit comet, he brings unique, curious energy to all his scientific adventures.

Maynard is a first-generation American. His mother’s side of the family is from Cameroon. His dad’s side is from Nigeria. So, I was born here in the States, but he spent his early childhood overseas in West Africa. When he returned to the States, he lived and then went to college in the Northwest. So, he has lots of perspectives on people and cultures.

As he was growing up, Maynard was interested in Wildlife Biology. He wanted to study it in college, but his academic advisors told him that he should go into Engineering instead. His advisors had the idea that people who looked like him did not choose careers in the natural sciences. Maynard thought about it. He loved nature shows on television, but rarely saw any people of color on these programs.

So, he chose Engineering as a field of study. Fortunately, he loves science, and he did well. At college, he made some amazing connections and got involved with the National Society of Black Engineers, where he met a lot of peers who looked like him.

Over time, Maynard branched out into science communication, where he can explore and share his love for all the sciences. Not only that, he has the opportunity to represent young people of all colors so that they can follow their passions and study any science. That’s why he loves the opportunities to undertake these incredible explorations.

Maynard started Hip Hop Science to show others, especially those who don’t always see themselves in science, that anyone can be a scientist if they stay curious.

While his official title these days is “Science Communicator.” He educates young people on various science topics, and anything under the umbrella of STEM.

Maynard’s technical background is in civil environmental engineering with a degree from the University of Washington. However, he always had a love for entertainment, music, and acting. So, he stepped away from engineering after working in the industry for a few years to pursue some dreams that he had in science entertainment.

His passions for both helped him bridge the gap between science and entertainment!

That’s where the hip hop science and pop culture elements come to play. These elements help all kinds of young people to connect with material by making it relatable. Young people like being connected to learning digitally, especially if they are having fun. That’s what Hip Hop Science is all about!

In tandem with his work of sparking curiosity and excitement, Maynard also tries to share on his platforms the inspiration for young people to follow their passion, follow their purpose, and be rooted in the things that they love doing.

Sometimes adults push expectations upon teens. And sometimes those expectations aren’t things that they necessarily want. However, Maynard likes to showcase that they can find cool science-related, STEM-related connections to almost everything they want to do, whether they love dance, fashion, history, art, literature, or STEM.

The Hip Hop Scientist has two fun ideas for helping young people explore their interests that may become their passion.

Maynard inspires young people through all kinds of STEM-related videos. These are just the right length of time for them to say, “I’m just gonna watch a video real quick!”

You don’t even have to go to the Amazon to do citizen science. There are things that teens can do in their backyard if they have a phone. For instance, they can use the iNaturalist app. This app helps teens find insects or whatever things might be in their backyard. They can take a photo and load it onto the app. In this way, teens are able to actually help scientists collect data. That goes a long way in helping understand where species are and how they are changing in different areas.

Maynard tells young people that the passion they have is in there on purpose, and they can make it their purpose. Parents need to give their young people permission to invest in that passion. Then the young people need to know that if they are not passive about their passion, it can come about, and the coolest things can happen!

Maynard’s passion for science has led to the purpose of being a science communicator. These days, you can find him on social media like YouTube and Instagram. He is also a popular keynote speaker and often travels to schools to bring Hip Hop Science to inspire young people to discover their passion and purpose.

You will find Maynard Okereke in many places. Here are a few:

Keep your eyes out for lesson plans and resources coming soon from the Hip Hop Scientist, Maynard Okereke.

Join Vicki and Maynard for his inspiring story so that you can inspire your teens to find their passions and purposes. Thanks to Seth Tillman for editing.
