SHOW TOPIC:

Homeschooling is a commitment.  You are investing your precious time and attention for the long-term success and happiness of your children.  In this conversation, Tali and Scott deep dive the common fear of being overwhelmed.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

• A common question from those considering homeschooling is how to not lose yourself
• Homeschooling is not as hard as you might think
• It’s okay if spouses don’t agree on all aspects (feature not a bug)
• You have a lot of options, each with varying impacts on time for yourself
• Just start … then adjust.  It’s a process you continually tweak.
• You don’t need to have plan for entire K-12 experience.  Planning out a month or two in advance is fine.
• Part-time private schools are one option
• Co-ops offer additional benefit, the opportunity to share your passions
• Extended family plans
• Homeschooling play groups and field trips
• Every homeschooling mom, no matter how devoted needs time to herself to recoup and regenerate
• There are so many resources:  Mom’s groups, churches, online curriculum, etc.
• Finding homeschooling groups and play groups in your area
• Always do a tour before committing to a program
• Consider attending homeschooling conventions
• Homeschoolers are very much like Bitcoiners.  They're very, very friendly, open, and more than happy to share experience.
• Stay flexible and know that it's going to be okay. Take one step at a time.
