Stealth Homeschooling 101  Written by Lusi Austin from That Homeschool Life Over the years, ‘are we doing enough?!‘ questions have plagued my mind, especially during challenging seasons. We might not have been able to cover what we wanted. Perhaps we had grand plans of visiting places that we didn’t. Or maybe the read aloud books we’d purchased are still sitting untouched on a shelf. Sometimes I’ve had kiddos who are resistant to reading and writing. And my mind wonders, ‘Have we done enough?’ During these times, I’ve found that I have become more open to the fact that learning continu ..read more

Homeschooling Middle School: What’s The Same vs. What’s Different ~Written by Jessica Waldock of The Waldock Way At first, homeschooling middle school feels like a big challenge. Suddenly, you’re facing new emotions and a new level of independence. Most of the things your child used to think were fun are “boring” and “lame” now. Fortunately, there’s a lot about homeschooling during the middle school years that stays the same. Middle school kids still want to have fun and have a strong connection with you, even if they think your jokes aren’t funny anymore.  Keep reading to get the s ..read more

If I am Brave, She is Brave – The Power of Modelling Behaviour ~ Written by Debbie Douse of An Adventurous Education I am Brave I am frozen to the spot; terror fills my every fibre. My feet are jammed into the metal staple on the sheer cliff side, legs shaking, my hands grasping on tight to the staple above. I dare not look down at my feet. At the acres of nothingness that falls between them and the ground. Instead, I look across. There, calmly dangling off the mountain ahead is my 14-year-old girl, my precious baby, leaning out and back to help her best friend navigate this tricky section of ..read more

Kari’s Homeschool Day in the Life (with a 4-, 5-, 15-, and 17-year-old) ~ Written by Kari Patterson This is my 11th day-in-the-life post for Simple Homeschool! As I look back at the early years, one thought fills my mind: I don’t regret a bit of the homeschool journey with my Bigs; I just wish I’d enjoyed it more. Now my Bigs are restlessly scurrying about this nest, readying their wings. Well, one is restlessly scurrying, asking how soon she can fly, the other is asking if he can have just a little more time before launch. (smile)  Turns out, at two-years-apart, they’ll graduate th ..read more

Colleen’s Homeschool Day in the Life (with an 11-, 14-, 16, and 21-year-old) ~ Written by Colleen Kessler of Raising Lifelong Learners It’s eight a.m. and I just want to roll back over. It’s not like anyone else will be up anyway.  But, it’s Thursday, and Thursdays are a little bit crazy these days, so I drag myself out of bed, and Daisy Mae (the three-year-old Border Collie who still thinks she’s a brand-new puppy) jumps around my legs before waiting patiently-ish at the top of the stairs until I get to the bottom and release her to follow.  I let Daisy outside, call up t ..read more
