    Most of homeschool is done within the confines of our own homes and families. But, it sure feels good to know that you are not alone. And not only that, but you have people who will have your back and are there to support you.

    Having homeschool friends and community is such a blessing. It truly can be a gift. And it should be those things and not a burden or unnecessary drama. That's where finding like-minded families is key.

    But where are they hiding?

    I have a few tips to help you meet and create some beautiful friendships!

    Questioning your ability to homeschool probably happens often. Maybe on a weekly basis. Possibly even daily.

    You've taken on what is seen as a unique responsibility in our culture. Everyone else just puts their kids on the bus or joins the carpool line and they just assume that their children will be educated properly.

    But, homeschooling is different because the entire 360 degree view of life is included and you often wonder if things are going well and if you're on the right track.

    I have 3 easy ways to take the temperature of your homeschool. Listen in for these and then measure your own homeschool against it. But, have no fear! There is always a solution to get you on the right track!

  • 335. When The Arguments Against Homeschooling Don't Match Up With The Evidence With Israel Wayne

    If you've heard it once, you've heard it a million times...or close to that number. But, how do we respond within Christian circles to the scrutiny against homeschooling? Is there any evidence to back-up what we're seeing within the four walls of our own homes?

    Israel Wayne, of Family Renewal, has been educating home educators for decades. He combines his knowledge of Scripture with the actual data, along with his lived experience to equip homeschool parents to disciple their children. Not only that, but he seeks to provide you with data and evidence to graciously, but confidently refute arguments against homeschooling.

    There are two main claims that Christians will often use against homeschooling. He refutes both of those, along with telling us why so many Christian parents refuse to homeschool their children.

    This episode will be such an encouragement as you carry out the call God has on your life!

    One of the most common challenges homeschooling families face is what to do with preschoolers while focusing on older children’s lessons.

    Whether you have a toddler who’s still learning how to sit still, or a preschooler who’s ready to explore, there are a few practical strategies to keep them engaged, entertained, and learning—without disrupting your homeschool flow.

    But, there is so much we can learn from and in the years with a little one who is full of enthusiasm that we shouldn't miss out on!
