In This Episode We Will Dive into:

My family's journey into homeschooling and while I share insights on how parents can facilitate learning without having to be the primary teacher.

Key points include:

• Why I chose to homeschool her two neurodivergent sons
• How homeschooling has benefited my children's emotional regulation and learning
• The misconception that parents have to do all the teaching in homeschooling
• Numerous online resources, courses, and programs for self-directed learning
• Subject-specific recommendations for math, science, coding, languages, and more
• How homeschooling allows kids to dive deep into their interests
• Addressing socialization concerns in homeschooling
• Developing executive functioning skills through homeschooling routines
• Tips for getting started with homeschooling
