March 08, 2022 Interview with Caleb Allen, homeschool graduate - YCH086
"Down the road from nowhere in small-town, USA (as a friend of mine used to say) lives today's guest, Caleb Allen (so please forgive the periodic sound quirks from spotty wifi!). He joins us as the next guest in our series of "Homeschool Graduates: Where Are They Now?" Caleb was home-educated in the "way back when" years of homeschooling and pushed through learning with dyslexia, which remained undiagnosed until he was in college. We hope you enjoy this special episode!

February 01, 2022 Should You Take a Mid-Winter Break? - YCH081
To paraphrase Shakespeare's famous soliloquy"To break or not to break? That is the question..." Sometimes it's hard to decide whether we want to take a "hard stop" on homeschooling or just back off the studies for a bit. And this is the time of year when it may be uppermost in your mind! But no worries - you can choose to do one at some point and the other at another point. (Part of the beauty of homeschooling, my friend.) In today's episode, Pat and Tracey talk about different options and the pros and cons of each...
What kind of breaks does your family take?

We don't only talk about what jobs kids can work at, but WHY you might want them to even have a job! There are lots of benefits to allowing your teens to work, not the least of which is this piece of research: studies have shown that teens who worked in the summer had greater job satisfaction and greater future earnings than those who didn’t. But there are also issues to keep your eyes open for as a parent. So no matter how you feel about "working teens" you'll find this episode engaging. Does your teen have a part-time job?
