2 Bestie Homeschoolin' Mamas

Hey Bestie! In this episode, we dive into the exciting and sometimes daunting journey of transitioning to homeschooling. If you’re considering taking the leap or have already started, this episode is packed with encouragement, practical advice, and insightful tips to help you navigate this new adventure. We break down the process into three main topics:

Breathe and Celebrate:

Taking the first step can be overwhelming, but it's important to start by celebrating your decision to take control of your child's education. We'll discuss ways to embrace this new journey, manage initial fears, and build a positive mindset. Learn how to set a joyful and relaxed tone for your homeschool experience right from the start.

De-School:

Transitioning from a traditional school setting to homeschooling requires a period of de-schooling for both parents and children. We'll explore what de-schooling is, why it's essential, and how to effectively allow this adjustment period. This segment will help you understand the importance of letting go of conventional school norms and embracing a more flexible, individualized approach to learning.
