#37 Our unexpected paths to homeschooling: Exploring our options with Lyndsie Iiams

Send us Fan MailIn this heartfelt and honest conversation, I sit down with Lyndsie Iiams, a fellow homeschooling food allergy mom and social media creator, to talk about how our journeys led us to educate our children at home. Neither of us ever expected to homeschool, but food allergies reshaped how we viewed our children’s safety, learning environment, and emotional well-being.We discuss the myths about homeschooling, the challenges, the unexpected joys we’ve discovered, and why our decisions were not driven solely by fear. We share our deep respect for teachers and the incredible work they do, while acknowledging that for our families, this path has been a better fit for our families.Whether you’re a food allergy parent curious about homeschooling, a professional supporting these families, or simply someone interested in alternative education, this episode offers perspective, encouragement, and practical considerations for making informed choices.Special thanks to Kyle Dine for permission to use his song The Doghouse for the podcast theme!www.kyledine.comFind Dr. Whitehouse:-thefoodallergypsychologist.com-Instagram: @thefoodallergypsychologist-Facebook: Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, Food Allergy Anxiety [email protected]
