EP#215: Ever wake up feeling like you’re already behind before your homeschooling day even begins? If you’re feeling out of sorts, the best remedy to renew and inspire you is a tiny dose of inner quiet and my simple morning routine for homeschool moms (or dads or grandmas or sisters, etc).

Trying harder is NOT the answer.

In this episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast, Jean shares a simple morning routine for homeschooling parents following the acronym ME ~ meditate and exercise.

If you’re stuck in a midyear slump, trying to get back to your routine after a holiday, or picking up where you left off after an illness, give yourself some grace. Start small and focus on filling yourself back up with inner quiet.

EP213: Imagine a homeschooling journey where learning side by side builds your child’s capacity to learn and ignites a love of lifelong learning at the same time.

That’s what we’re getting into on the podcast this week!

Jean shares three stories from homeschooling mums just like you who discovered their passions through U.S. history, world history, and science.

As a homeschooler, you are not solely responsible for imparting all the knowledge your children need to know about the world.

When you create shared experiences that model deep learning, your children will develop the capacity to learn and the curiosity to explore.

And this is what it’s all about!

EP209: Welcome to a deep dive into the science of reading and Waldorf education. On this episode of the podcast, Jean is joined by her assistant Sarah to share with you new insights about the literacy journey through the holistic lens of Waldorf education.

Waldorf education, since its founding in 1919, has evolved significantly. And homeschoolers are in a unique position to weave together “responsible innovation” in the Waldorf movement with new insights and research about human brain development.

Jean and Sarah discuss all things literacy ~ from oral language development to content knowledge, from neural pathways to simple strategies for teaching.

This is a rich discussion! Listen, take notes, and dig into the resources and links mentioned.
