Episode description
Are you ready to homeschool?
Whether you're a newbie starting from scratch or a veteran wanting to be sure you've built a firm foundation, I want to encourage you on your homeschool journey. I'm not sure what led you to this decision to educate your child at home but I am pretty sure of one thing – you want to do your best. You want to give this thing your all and provide your child with the best possible learning experience.
Homeschooling is not for the faint of heart – there will be challenges that arise and you will need some guidance along the way. You will hear lots of advice on this journey and it is easy to get distracted. To guard against that, it's important that you settle on some sort of core principles, namely, Why are you homeschooling? and What is the purpose of education? When you have these questions answered, you will find much joy in your homeschool.
