Four Things to Help When You're Homeschooling and Sick: Episode 55

Welcome back! So, I'm reshaping things a bit this time around because, honestly, I recorded this episode when I was sick and forgot to save it. Not realizing this, I didn’t keep my notes! So, as  I re-recorded it I ended up heeding my own advice as a gentle reminder to cut myself some slack, especially when it comes to unexpected curveballs like getting sick. Today's episode is all about those moments when you're not at your best, and you're juggling the whole family and homeschooling gig. If you live in a state with homeschooling regulations, this adds even more pressure to get things done and not miss a day. The big question looms: Do you have to homeschool when you're sick? Well, the short answer is no. It's totally okay to give yourself a break. My mentor always says, "slow down to speed up," and that's the vibe here. But if you're worried about feeling guilty or just want some ideas for those not-so-great days, this episode's got your back. So, let's chat about preparing a secret educational kit, a set of “sub plans,” if you will – something your kids don't even know about. Why? Because th element of surprise is a game-changer. I'm diving into four cool things to consider using as impromptu lessons when you're not up for algebra or intense teaching. Sneak peek: some twists on using screen time to your advantage,  as well as  both indoor and out-door activities and adventures. Stay tuned for tips on finding that balance between homeschooling and self-care when life throws you a curveball. It's a good one, promise!
