8. ADHD and Homeschooling: Our 10-Year-Old's Perspective

Send us Fan MailCurious what homeschooling really looks like through a child's eyes? This special episode features our 10-year-old daughter, the inspiration behind our family's decision to leave public school and embark on this unexpected homeschooling journey.Saylor shares why she begged us to homeschool her for years before we finally took the plunge. Her perspective is uniquely valuable - after completing four years in public school plus pre-K, she understands both worlds. When asked if she'd ever go back to traditional school, her answer is immediate and emphatic: "No, not at all. 100%, definitely not."For a child with ADHD, the freedom to move, change environments, and take breaks when needed has transformed her relationship with learning. "At homeschool, you can go on the couch and read your book, you don't have to sit at a desk," she explains, highlighting how this flexibility helps her concentrate.The episode also addresses our curriculum transition to "The Good and the Beautiful," how we're adapting it for three different learners, and our upcoming travel plans - one of the freedoms homeschooling affords us. Subscribe and follow our journey as we continue documenting the good, the bad, and occasionally ugly reality of balancing homeschooling with full-time careers and family life.
