How She Did It: Rachel Davidson

Katy welcomes listeners and introduces her conversation with Rachel Davidson, a former business owner and educator who pivoted to homeschooling after her kids were already in school. Rachel shares how commuting to private school, lack of time, and her daughter’s anxiety led their family to “give it a try,” though their first online, private-school-style program wasn’t a fit. In their second year, they found a better stride and describe benefits like more sleep, less stress, more family time, and greater flexibility through co-ops, tutors, and outside classes. They discuss stereotypes, the difficulty of blocking outside opinions, and how homeschooling can protect a child’s love of learning and support introverted kids. Rachel advises getting spouses aligned, asking experienced homeschoolers questions, and trying it if it’s on your heart.Make sure you follow along with Rachel on Instagram! @racheldavidsoncreative To support this podcast use this code when you sign up for World Watch NewsDon't forget to follow The Latecomers Podcast on Instagram!And join the Facebook group!
