50. Jolene Fender and Little Fenders

In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Jolene Fender from North Carolina. Jolene is an unschooling mother of three and a digital creator with an impressive following on Instagram. Jolene didn’t like the way the school system was dealing with teaching on Zoom during COVID, and this led her to start teaching her daughter the material instead. This gave Jolene the confidence to start homeschooling! She loved that her kids could spend more time outside and that they could delve more into reading aloud together. Jolene believes it is important that her children understand screens and how to use them, and to not think of screens with a negative mindset. She reminds homeschool families that homeschooling need not be so challenging. We have many resources, we are not alone, and there are many people who have walked the path before us who are willing to help.Connect with Jolene@littlefendersBooksHold On to Your KidsThe Self Driven ChildWishtreeWilderloreResourcesCLT ExamProactive Homeschool Dad (PHD) CoursePHD CourseThis Golden Hour
