In this episode, we delve into the fundamentals of homeschooling, addressing common concerns like daily routines, structure, and playtime. The keys to a happy homeschool are creating daily routines that balance flexibility and structure, with tons of of free play, outdoor activities, and regular field trips. Have you heard of the Thomas Jefferson Education (TJEd) framework? It focuses on inspiring children through mentors and classic literature rather than traditional textbooks and professors. And can't you imagine yourself laying on the couch eating bonbons while your self-driven child is motivated to learn and maintain routines without you hovering? Especially when those routines are centered on worship and prayer. This episode encourages parents to transform their homeschooling approach and foster a love of learning in their children, ultimately leading to lifelong, well-rounded learners.
