Episode 45: How to Begin Homeschooling: Getting Into the Swing of Things Whether New to it or Continuing

We talk about beginning the “school year,” either as a new homeschool family or a continuing family from the perspective of both connection and practical ideas. It can be an exciting time of year, but it can also be daunting! Even a new age of stage our child has reached can make this time of year full of feelings and concerns. We base the bulk of the conversation on Hayley’s blog post, New to Home Education: Your First Week and my Instagram post, If you’re  beginning homeschooling or returning to homeschooling and feeling uneasy in the midst of Back to School season, here are some ideas as you get into the groove. We talk about ways of easing in and just putting “one foot in front of the other.”  We hope you’ll join us and have a listen!Resources: New to Home Education: Your First Week, Taking a Kinder Path Fear of Missing Out, Episode 26 , Virtual Kitchen Table Lists or Not – How Do We and Those We Love Keep Organized?, Episode 16, Virtual Kitchen Table Stories of an Unschooling Family, Sue Elvis Fablehaven Series by Brandon MullThe Seven Kinds of Rest You Actually Need, Psychology Today, Claudia SkowrowNature Journalling, Time Outdoors and Taking Pressure off Ourselves and our Children, Episode 44, Virtual Kitchen Table Spark.to.flame.homelearning
