SHOW NOTES
Community and support are essential for homeschooling parents to combat isolation, build relationships, and prioritize character development over academic achievements.
- 00:00 Heidi St. John discusses the importance of community in parenting, using the story of Mr. Mouse to emphasize the value of asking for help and living in community, and promotes Brave books as a great resource for children.
- 03:14 Homeschool moms struggle with the mental load and unrealistic expectations, but seeking help and engaging in community is essential for combating loneliness and building a successful homeschool.
- 10:56 Acknowledge and address trauma responses, build vulnerable relationships, and embrace your narrative for healing and support in life.
- 18:49 Community and relatability are important in a world of curated social media content, reclaiming the narrative and replacing toxic ideas with truth, and realizing that parents can teach their kids basic skills without a degree or certification.
- 25:50 Homeschool moms need community and support to combat isolation and skepticism, emphasizing the importance of cultivating human beings over memorization of facts.
- 31:07 Homeschooling requires community support for character development, prioritizing wisdom over academic achievements, and avoiding overwhelming feelings of doing it all alone.
- 34:50 Focus on building relationships with your kids and teaching them life skills, rather than comparing yourself to others on social media and trying to do it all alone.
- 38:55 Be a person who makes others feel loved, cared for, and safe, and get rid of shame.
