About the Podcast On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I have the great pleasure of welcoming Karen Stone, BA, Special Ed, MA, Learning Disabilities, onto the podcast. Karen has worked in the education field for more than 45 years. Karen’s education background and her own experiences of being bullied from childhood to early adulthood, at home and school led her to authoring an anti-bullying blog, www.howwestopbullying.com. Karen’s work is also influenced by her experiences raising a son with significant disabilities. Karen’s professional experiences as an educator showed her that for children to be successful, whether they had disabilities or not, they needed to value themselves, each other and their abilities. As CEO of SoftStone Products, Inc., Karen has written and piloted research-based children’s Emotional Intelligence (EQ) programs implemented with students from Preschool to High School. Karen’s new book, Is Your Child’s World Emotionally Safe?, reveals her personal story but also makes a compelling case for the inclusion of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in every home and classroom. It was wonderful chatting to Karen and hearing about the importance of teaching our little ones EQ from a young age. She shares some really interesting ways to include this in your homeschool, even as a busy working homeschool mom. Connect with Karen https://eqforchildren.com www.facebook.com/karenstonecj https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH6WtKhdBbhTVtcqbr1jE0g And be sure to grab your own EQ kit for your homeschool https://eqforchildren.com/amazon-eq-kits/ Claim Your Free Workbook: How to Manage It All as a New Working Homeschool Mom New working homeschool mom, are you wondering how to manage it all?

About the Episode As a working mom newly starting with homeschooling back in 2017, I desperately wanted guidance, step-by-step instructions and an operating manual. I didn’t trust myself to make this work. And I definitely wanted to know what was considered the right amount of homeschool time by age.  How much homeschooling would my kids need so that they succeeded? How many hours would they be expected to sit and quietly do work? And going on their time in public school, how was I ever going to fit all those hours into my already hectically busy day?! It took some time, but eventually I figured everything out. So in the episode today, I’m going to tell you what I found out and what works for us. And I bet you’re going to be pretty surprised by what I have to share! I'll give you exactly the recommended hours per day to homeschool. But I'm also going to share some tips and strategies for making the most of the time you have and for also saving time with homeschooling!

About the Episode On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I chat to Elan Page about diversity in homeschooling. Elan is a podcaster, coach, and founder of Homeschool Our Way. She is passionate about supporting families of color as they start their homeschool journey because of the invaluable opportunities it's afforded her own family: the ability to give her two daughters one-on-one instruction, the ability to nurture their children’s individual strengths and passions, and the ability to adapt both of their girls’ education to their unique learning styles. Elan believes strongly that every family should have the knowledge and resources they need to start homeschooling with confidence and clarity, and Homeschool Our Way exists to do just that. Elan and her husband live in Dallas, Texas with their elementary-aged daughters. Elan has such a positive outlook on homeschooling and it's a joy to hear about her experiences. It's also so valuable to hear her sage advice about balancing work and homeschooling and making sure children feel seen and represented in their homeschooling journey.
