JH101: Sibling Struggles while Homeschooling with Lynna Sutherland

Joyfully Homeschooling

As you may know, podcasting takes a lot of time. I typically mass record 3 months’ worth of episodes in one month. This gives time for editing, show notes to be written, and for me to record introductions beforehand and solo episodes. Therefore, this episode will of course not address the current COVID19 pandemic. It may also reference homeschool conventions or other events that are now closed. I apologize in advance, however, the content and advice given in the episode is something we can all learn from regardless of the time it was recorded.

Today’s podcast episode with Lynna Sutherland, Lynna and I chatted way back in episode 12. Today, I am bringing Lynna on to answer a listener question. And we are going to chat with Lynna about sibling relationships and parenting and child relationships, and whether or not we should be afraid of homeschooling hindering those relationships instead of strengthening them.

Lynna shares her advice and also answers these questions on sibling struggles.

• How do you handle sibling disagreements during the day?
• How can we as parents help in these close quarter situations?
• How can we as parents nurture our relationship with our kids while homeschooling? It is hard playing both roles sometimes.

I am sure, if we are honest, that these questions are ones many of us have had at one point or another, so let’s talk about it!
