Description

Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, I'm sharing all the reality about the tougher side of homeschooling. The side that requires determination, grit and the will to succeed. In this episode I will share what I believe are the hardest aspects of homeschooling and some tips on how I handle them. I hope you will join in on the conversation and can grab a few tips from my experience. Topics discussed on todays episode include:

The feeling of not having a break and how to build in some time for yourself

Balancing "it all" work, school, sports, friendships, marriage etc.

Constant cooking and food preparation and a few hacks for how to prepare and plan ahead

Watching your kids struggle academically and how to help them

The feeling of "missing out" socially or on traditional school milestones and how to combat that
