As a homeschool mom with three graduates and a front row seat to older teens and young adults, I can see first hand the benefit of taking the time when our children are young to teach them specific habits and skills.Does it take longer? Yes.Will it sometimes be frustrating? Yes.Do you only do the easy things as a parent? No.Today's episode is my {insert dramatic sigh} plea to see the opportunity of homeschool beyond the academics. Consider this an opportunity to shift some priorities and take a look at the big picture of launching your kids out into the world.Guess what?

When you think about homeschool, your mind most likely goes straight to curriculum, co-ops, field trips, and so on. And that is totally understandable, as it is a part of homeschool.But, take a step back and look at the big picture of homeschooling. It's not just the education of particular subjects, but more like an entire way of living.Beyond the home education, moms have a lot to factor in. Things like meals, naps, discipleship, bed times, routines, sports, church, friendships, holidays, vacations and on and on.All of these things combined can feel overwhelming, so I thought it would be good to bring this up as you begin a brand new homeschool year. Let's get out of feeling overwhelmed so you aren't fried and exhausted at the end of each day.Let's have a chat about it...♥ LeighGET YOUR TICKET FOR LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conferenceDESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprintCREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal Website - https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.comNewsletter - https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/subscribeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Little by Little Homeschool podcast is part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

I'm not knocking the homeschool curriculum. Actually, I am a fan of it.

Every single family approaches the topic of dating differently. There may be some overlap, but every family is unique, so there will always be some variability.Even for my family, there has been a progression and changes throughout the years. And it's finally time to share our story and perspective on dating.My goal is not to sway you to our way of doing this, but rather to share our story and give you some ideas. Ultimately, it's you and your husband listening to the Holy Spirit as you establish boundaries and terms. This isn't a my way vs. your way argument.

I promise that I'm not adding "one more thing" to your to-do list. But, the summer typically means a bit of a break from academics for homeschool families.The curriculum is great, but if you child is not prepared for the world when they step out on their own, they'll have a lot of catching up to do, no matter what level of math they achieved, the science experiments you did, or the classic books they've read. Don't get me wrong, those things are fine. But, there is more to life than book knowledge. There is real life where they'll need to know how to interact, get along with, and function well with others, if for no other reason than for their Christian witness.I'm hoping you have a little more brain space with your usual routine set aside for the summer to focus on teaching and growing soft skills in your homeschooler of any age. I've got a lot of ideas for you...pick 1 or 2 that seem the most important and see how you can be intentional this summer!♥ LeighGET YOUR TICKET FOR LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conferenceDESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprintCREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal Website - https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.comNewsletter - https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/subscribeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Little by Little Homeschool podcast is part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
