I am a firm believer that education does not take place exclusively within the walls of a classroom during certain hours of the day. I loved chatting with Lyndsey again on the podcast about the freedom that comes with prioritizing an environment of learning in your home instead of strict parameters around when and how school must happen. Lyndsey shares why year-round schooling gives her family more flexibility and how their daily rhythm fluctuates with the seasons. Whether you are already in the thick of homeschooling or thinking about getting started, let this episode encourage you and take the pressure off!
In this episode, we cover:
- How Lyndsey and her husband self-designed and self-built their new home and involved their children in the process
- What it looks like to homeschool year-round and why it’s so freeing
- How a typical day in the life of a year-round homeschooling family may shift with the seasons
- Debunking some common misconceptions about how a homeschool day unfolds
- Viewing your family as a community that works together
- Making intentional choices to turn everyday tasks into learning opportunities for your children
- Considering the opportunity cost of prioritizing a rigid bookwork schedule in your education
- Encouragement for the mom who is nervous to start homeschooling
- Changing your perspective on what education can look like in chaotic seasons of life
- Practical considerations for how to set up your home to support a home-centered life

I raised my kids as a single mom who homeschooled all five of her children. I wanted the kids to be well rounded adults so I would step out to friends and church members who could teach my children all kinds of things.. my boys learned to build homes, recover furniture, horse train etc… also stepped out in the community and helped my boys get hooked up with the local fire department.. now both of my boys are paid firefighters..

I’m a single mom of 2 young children, I have to work outside if the home. How could you homeschool? Did you work from home?

@glendabyford8074 4 месяца назад

@@celianewman4809 I started my own house cleaning business. Every client I had knew I had five children and that those children would be coming with me to the job. They would take turns and sit in the car and work on lessons as I worked on the house. Some of them would come with me and I would allow them to do little jobs if they wanted. We worked together it wasn’t easy but we did it

I think two good goals as a homeschooling Mom are to teach your children to read and to love to learn - everything flows naturally from there ☺️

@lindascheffer1973 4 месяца назад

Great podcast. Ignore any naysayers about homeschooling. The goal isn’t to recreate an industrial society worker bee institution at home. My kids are in their later 20s, launched and know how to think and learn. We did “school” all year and took off whenever we felt like it. Daughter graduates with her PhD in December- so homeschooling didn’t interfere with her desire to pursue higher education.

Re: the “big kids reading to little kids” criticisms. We always did “book buddies” in school, where the big kids read to the littles, practice their read aloud skills, and interacting as a mini teacher. It’s just that same thing, replicated at home!

@justamags 4 месяца назад

Exactly! My 6th grade public school class went once a week to the first grade room with our "buddies" to help them read for an hour. Not unusual at all. And this was in the 90s!

@carlenerosinski5095 4 месяца назад

There is a lot of wasted time in regular school. And the kids don't get necessary outside breaks.

@starlaross8151 4 месяца назад

I'm on the other side of this, where I have homeschooled my children and successfully launched them, and I've gone back to work. Oh how I miss those days.

I have a feeling you're planning on building a home on the new land with the creek! Hope it all goes well!

@FarmhouseHarvest 4 месяца назад

We’ve built 6 homes… 5 we general contacted without a general contractor license. We hired out all the licensed trades (plumbing, electric, and HVAC) but our family put in all the floors, did all the painting, trim, doors and cabinets. It’s fun to design, and you learn tricks to get more square footage for less money, etc. I highly recommend it for gaining equity, experience, and for loving your home!

People DO think eggs are dairy!! We were dairy-free for a few years to heal some gut stuff, and family would often ask about eggs and not understand those aren't dairy. 🤣 It always killed me. Also I laughed out loud at the "fake baby" project point!! So true! What a better experience to be around a real baby (and for more than a week!). Wow!! I am the baby of my family (along with my twin sister) and I didn't have much interest in children as a kid. Though I babysat a bit with my sister, I would have learned so much more about kids by going to hang out with a family that had younger kids or a baby to rock. Wow, such an interesting thought!

Loved this! We year-round homeschool, and we focus on Math and language arts, during the typical school year, plus we're in a unique 4H STEM group that meets multiple days a week for classes with other kids, and then in the summer we do more History, Science, and art, which we can do outside too.

Such great advice. I homeschooled my kids from 2000 to 2013 when I burned out and put them in school! Biggest mistake of my life. I was so uptight about teaching that it was not sustainable and they missed so much. Thank you

Long time homeschool mom here 30 years my youngest was a 1# micro preemie. She has vision issues . And an eye / brain connection issue. She loves to listen to Adventures in Odyssey, swim, and writes letters to her friends. But reading is rough. We habe her with Orton Gillingham 2x a week. But I feel worn out. Ill take ANY tips. Of course this affects math as well.

Love this! We designed and built our house and are currently selling it to do it all again now that we went from 4 kids to 7. My husband did everything except the electrical! I was unschooled and we are very relaxed homeschoolers. I was just nodding along through this whole podcast❤

@TheMennomilist 4 месяца назад

It is so interesting when people take a year off of homeschooling since I used to teach history year-round and a few other things. . .that I can't understand taking time off, but then again, maybe that one mom you mentioned took her kids out to do a lot of LIFE LEARNING things?

"Eggs are dairy". I don't think that people actually think eggs come from cows (we hope), but people do think in terms of grocery store departments: eggs are found in the "dairy case" (refrigerated cabinets) next to the milk, in the U.S. Some, unfortunately, may not know the definition of dairy, and go by what they see in the grocery to form their concept.

Okay say you need 180 days where you live, are you counting these days no matter how different they look as a day? Also when do they go to next grade level? On last day? Just confused

@nicolemartin8737 4 месяца назад

Why wouldn’t it count if the days look different? If the kids are actively engaged in learning or practicing a new skill that is definitely worth counting. Even in schools they don’t do every subject every day or sadly even every week, if at all.
