Fostering a Self-Paced Learning Environment Through Homeschooling with Ashley Rodriguez

In today's episode, I have the opportunity to interview my dear friend, Ashley, a mom of three, about all things homeschooling. Ashley has such a great perspective to share because she taught in the public school system for years prior to making a career change, eventually deciding to stay home with her children full-time to homeschool them. This is a decision we know lots of mothers battle with and it's not something to take lightly! Ashley shares her story to provide insight into the homeschooling process, comparisons of homeschooling to the public school system, resources she uses to provide her children with the best possible experience, and considerations for mamas who are on the fence about homeschooling. Homeschooling can be an incredible way to facilitate your child's learning in a way that makes the most sense for them. Even if you decide to homeschool multiple children, Ashley talks about how you can customize the experience for each of them in different ways. Plus, she debunks the worry that so many parents have about their children missing out on socialization if they choose this path! Here's some resources Ashley mentions in the podcast that can be helpful for ANY mom, not just mamas who homeschool: - The Good & The Beautiful: https://www.goodandbeautiful.com/- IXL: https://www.ixl.com/membership/family/homeschooling?gclid=CjwKCAjwnOipBhBQEiwACyGLuq5NcF-oxWrP7DjhpliSFS5ombp03jrPjdoNXi54U5aO9oa9WlGcABoCFa8QAvD_BwE- Beast Academy: https://beastacademy.com/- Pre-K Box: https://www.myprekbox.com/- Starfall: https://www.starfall.com/h/- @m.is.for.mama: https://www.instagram.com/m.is.for.mama/- @roamwiththerams: https://www.instagram.com/roamwiththerams/- @working_to_homeschool: https://www.instagram.com/working_to_homeschool/- M is for Mama podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m-is-for-mama-podcast/id1664528555- Called to Homeschool podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/called-to-homeschool/id1456539406- Wow in the World science podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wow-in-the-world/id1233834541- Bearily Bear Stories podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bearily-bear-stories/id1600159540Support the showLet's connect on social media!
