In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Madison Robinson, a young homeschool momma with six kids from British Columbia, Canada. Our conversation highlights how homeschooling can be adaptable and unique to each family throughout each stage and season of the journey. Madison emphasizes the importance of simple, consistent routines, like daily reading lessons, math, Bible reading, and morning chores. She values relational learning and building a love for reading over rigid curriculum completion.The greatest joys include spending time with her children, witnessing their growth firsthand, and fostering strong sibling relationships. Madison appreciates that homeschooling allows for more family time, flexibility, and the ability to prioritize character and faith development. But she also acknowledges that the decision to homeschool is challenging and refining, and that it requires strong support from her husband.
