313: Thriving Teen Boys: Homeschooling with Strong Parent-Child Relationships

Rachel Winchester and David Arroyo, a seasoned homeschool dad and board member, discuss the benefits of homeschooling teen boys, providing an environment free from distractions such as technology and negative peer influence. David shares his family's experiences, including how homeschooling helped his sons develop a genuine love of reading and how it strengthened their family relationships. David also shares the idea of educating "poet warriors"—children who are both disciplined and creative. A great episode for parents who want to be intentional guides in their children’s lives and to embrace a whole-person education!RESOURCES+Books mentioned: Keeper of the Bees by Gene Stratton Porter and Hold On to Your Kids by Gabor Maté and Gordon Neufeld+Buy some of our favorite books here! 10 Of Those + $1 shipping!+Build Your Family’s Library: Grab our FREE book list here+Get our FREE ebook: 5 Essential Parts of a Great Education.+Attend one of our upcoming seminars this year!+Click HERE for more information about consulting with Carole Joy Seid!CONNECTHomeschool Made Simple | Website | Seminars | Instagram | Facebook | PinterestEPISODE LINKSTry CTCMath-Half Price DiscountMentioned in this episode:Pick up a copy of Don't Waste Your Life wherever books are sold or visit this link to learn how to get 30 percent off with a free Crossway plus account.
