Navigating a Challenging Homeschool Start

  • Summary

  • Starting a new homeschool year is exciting but can also feel overwhelming. In this episode, I share some of the common challenges we face, like kids resisting lessons or forgetting things over the break. I offer practical tips to ease the transition, like involving your kids in planning, starting with subjects they enjoy, and reviewing key skills before diving into new material.

    I also talk about managing that overwhelming feeling by setting a flexible schedule, prioritizing homeschooling, and getting kids involved in household chores. Remember, feeling overwhelmed shows how much you care about your kids' education—and you’ve got this!

    Key Takeaways:

    • Involve kids in planning to reduce resistance.
    • Start with enjoyable subjects and gradually extend lesson time.
    • Review key skills forgotten over the summer before moving forward.
    • Set a flexible schedule around homeschooling and prioritize it.
    • Get kids involved in age-appropriate chores to help manage the household.
