#115: Shifting from Curriculum-Heavy to Self-Directed Learning with Katie Berry 59:21

7 days ago59:21

59:21

Katie Berry returns to The Homeschool How To Podcast with a refreshingly honest revelation about her educational transformation. Once a curriculum devotee who meticulously planned each subject for her five children, Katie now champions a dramatically different approach that has revolutionized learning in her home. The catalyst? Life's demands forced her hand when increasing work responsibilities made her traditional teaching schedule unsustainable. What began as a necessary adaptation revealed an unexpected truth: her children learned more, retained information better, and developed genuine enthusiasm when given agency over their education. From her eight-year-old narrating detailed animal facts after watching Wild Kratts to her older son eagerly sharing discoveries from science comics, the evidence was undeniable. Katie still maintains that some subjects—particularly reading—benefit from direct instruction. If a child hasn't begun reading spontaneously by age six or seven, structured phonics teaching becomes essential. But for history, science, and other subjects, she's transitioned from teacher to mentor, guiding her children toward resources while allowing them to chart their learning paths through documentaries, podcasts, books, and hands-on activities. This shift addresses a profound educational gap Katie observed when her public-schooled daughter, despite graduating with honors, called home during her first month of college having panic attacks because she didn't know how to learn independently. The checkbox mentality of traditional education hadn't prepared her for self-directed learning. By contrast, Katie's homeschooled children are developing the exact skills needed for higher education success—finding resources, managing time, and pursuing knowledge without constant direction. Are you struggling with curriculum overload or wondering if your approach is sustainable? Join us for this thought-provoking conversation about loosening the reins, trusting your children's natural curiosity, and reimagining what effective education truly means. ✨ This episode is brought to you by Excelsior Classes — live, online courses for homeschoolers taught by passionate, Christian instructors.

Instagram LIVE Event with Two Former Teachers of 20 Years Who Now Homeschool 1:08:33

10 days ago1:08:33

1:08:33

What happens when dedicated teachers with advanced degrees and decades in the classroom realize the system isn't working for their own children? Two extraordinary educators share their journeys into the unknown world of homeschooling after collectively spending over 40 years in public education. Deanna and Leigh Ann take us behind the curtain of their transition from traditional schooling to home education, revealing the personal "enough is enough" moments that pushed them to make radical changes for their families. One witnessed her son three grade levels behind in math catch up within six months. The other found herself peeking into a classroom to see her young son sitting dejected and crying behind a mask. These deeply human experiences—not academic theories—drove their decisions to create something different. Both women candidly admit the learning curve was steep. They initially tried replicating school at home with rigid schedules and desk work before discovering that true learning looks radically different: conjugating verbs while jumping on trampolines, incorporating cooking as applied mathematics, and allowing natural curiosity to drive deeper investigation. With refreshing honesty, they discuss working full-time while homeschooling (yes, it's possible), the importance of "deschooling" before implementing formal curricula, and why Finland achieves 100% literacy by starting formal education at age seven. Whether you're a curious parent wondering about alternatives, a teacher questioning the system, or a homeschooler seeking validation, this conversation offers practical wisdom without judgment. The message is clear: you don't need specialized credentials to educate your children. As Leanne says, "You can learn with them. If you don't know how to do it, learn alongside them." Their stories prove that sometimes the most powerful educational choice is simply choosing to do things differently. Want to explore these ideas further?

#114: How Five Years of Homeschooling Set Laura’s Kids Up for Life 47:06

14 days ago47:06

47:06

The moment Laura Bains heard the word "homeschooling," she knew it was her calling—even before understanding what it meant. Though her husband, a first-generation immigrant who valued traditional education, needed convincing, Laura's instincts proved right. In this revealing conversation, Laura shares how just five years of homeschooling transformed not only her children's lives but her own professional journey. Laura's refreshingly practical approach focused on fundamentals: "I need you to be able to read, write, and do math—the rest you'll figure out on your own." With structured learning from 9 AM to 1 PM and afternoons free for self-directed exploration, her children thrived. Her son discovered electrical engineering at age four, building circuits and programming while her daughter read far beyond grade level. Most importantly, both learned to teach themselves—a skill that would define their academic futures. When they eventually returned to traditional school, they excelled beyond expectations. Laura's daughter medaled on the honor roll throughout high school before pursuing a mathematics degree, while her son took senior-level classes as a freshman and became the school's unofficial tech specialist. Their success showcases how even a limited homeschooling period can provide a lifetime foundation. Now a full-time tutor with extraordinary results, Laura's final message resonates deeply: "Homeschooling is not just about your kids. Find yourself in there too." Whether you're considering homeschooling, currently in the trenches, or simply curious about alternative education paths, this conversation offers both practical insights and inspiring encouragement. What might your homeschooling journey unlock—not just for your children, but for you?

#113: What Japan Got Right About Education—and the Shocking Truth Gabriella Discovered in the U.S. 28:54

21 days ago28:54

28:54

What happens when a flight attendant with international benefits decides to homeschool? Magic, adventure, and a whole new approach to education. Gabriella from RellaBBooks invites us into her world as a "hybrid homeschooler," where her four-year-old daughter attends traditional school three days weekly while spending the remaining two immersed in personalized education at home. But this arrangement is just temporary—by second grade, Gabriella plans to fully homeschool, transforming their lives into a globe-trotting educational adventure. Drawing from her own childhood experiences in Japanese schools—where libraries featured Zen gardens and the curriculum embraced cultural immersion—Gabriella recognized the stark limitations of American education when she returned stateside. The contrast was jarring: from child-led exploration to strict limitations where even her already-mastered cursive writing was prohibited because "they hadn't taught that yet." After working within the school system and discovering disturbing correlations between third-grade reading scores and prison population projections, Gabriella chose a different path. Now she's creating children's books that make learning joyful, starting with financial literacy in "Mama I Got a Dollar." Her multifaceted approach includes podcasts where authors read to children, YouTube content featuring movement and imagination, and even plans for a movie about English language components. Most innovative is her vision for young readers to become "little editors," providing feedback on manuscripts before publication—a brilliant way to engage children in the creative process while teaching communication skills. Whether you're considering homeschooling, looking for creative ways to supplement traditional education, or simply fascinated by alternative educational approaches, this conversation offers practical insights into crafting a learning environment that honors children's natural curiosity while preparing them for real-world success.

#112: How a Single Mom Left the Corporate Life to Start a Business and Homeschool 38:32

28 days ago38:32

38:32

The leap from corporate security to homeschooling freedom isn't just possible—it's transformative. Taylor proves this as she takes us through her journey from corporate employee to homeschooling entrepreneur during the unexpected blessing of COVID. "I was giving all my time to a corporation who showed during COVID that I was very replaceable," Taylor reflects, describing the awakening that led her to prioritize family over financial certainty. As a single mother of two at the time, she faced skepticism from all sides but followed her conviction that traditional schooling wasn't right for her children. The most profound shift in Taylor's approach came when she liberated herself from traditional education models. "It became so overwhelming where it almost scared me away," she admits about her early attempts at structured homeschooling. When she embraced a more intuitive, child-led approach, everything changed. Suddenly, making breakfast became a lesson in measurements, garage time with dad turned into engineering class, and family travel transformed into immersive geography studies. Now married with three children (including a 9-month-old), Taylor and her husband combine their entrepreneurial work building off-road vehicles with a travel-focused education. Their family surfs, explores, and learns together—proving that education doesn't require classrooms or credentials, just commitment and creativity. Taylor's story demonstrates that homeschooling doesn't demand perfection or wealth—just the courage to prioritize what matters most. Ready to reimagine education for your family?

#111: Breaking Free: From Teaching to Unschooling 57:35

5 weeks ago57:35

57:35

What if everything your child needs for academic success could be learned during their high school years, and everything before that could just be play? Katie from Illinois, a former teacher with a master's degree in gifted education, reveals how her perspective on education transformed when she began homeschooling her three young children. Witnessing her oldest child write perfectly formed letters without any formal instruction became her lightbulb moment – children naturally learn without our intervention. Breaking free from the politics and constraints of traditional teaching wasn't easy. Katie candidly shares her journey from trying to replicate school at home to embracing unschooling, where learning flows from her children's natural curiosities. "I've instructed them with nothing and they're spitting out knowledge," she explains, challenging the notion that parents need teaching credentials to effectively educate their children. Most refreshingly, Katie dismantles the myth that homeschooling must look Instagram-worthy. She admits to days with too much screen time, moments of frustration, and plenty of mess – yet reminds us that children are still thriving compared to institutional alternatives. "They were fed without chemicals, they were not privy to any shelter-in-place drills, they got fresh air, they were loved, and they were not in combat training – that's enough." Whether you're considering homeschooling, already deep in the journey, or simply curious about alternative education approaches, this conversation will challenge conventional wisdom about how and when children truly learn. Curriculum: More before 5 in a Row Games: Alice in Bibleland books, Color cube for preschoolers, Tactile Tic tac toe, ALL versions of memory matching games, Genius Cube (a must- comes with 2 per box so I recommend buying more than one so the whole family can compete), Rack-o, Charades for kids (has picture clues for non readers), Poop tracks - nature lovers fun!, Guess who- strong deductive reasoning, Carpet checkers, Mimiq/Body mimiq card games (go fish style game with fun twists and charade skills- kids LOVE!), Old maid, War, crazy 8s- recommend teaching with regular deck of bicycle cards first for good number skills and then get the fun themed decks once they understand.
