  • TB 41: Interview Part 1 - Growing Up Homeschooled
    Mar 16 2023

    Most podcast focus on assisting homeschool parents as they navigate the homeschool adventure. Instead, our next two podcast will be focusing on what homeschooling looks like to our kids. 

    In this podcast, Chaz and Levi will be discussing what it was like growing up in the homeschool environment. What they like, what they didn't like and what they wish they had done differently. 

    They give advice to parents and their homeschooled children, encouraging children to carefully evaluate the gift they have being homeschooled and how to best use that gift to the fullest. They also give parents some insights into the unspoken concerns facing some homeschoolers as they reach the teenage years.

    In the next podcast, Chaz and Levi will be discussing what life looks like as an adult who was homeschooled. They discuss their college experiences, work opportunities, marriage and other transitions into adulthood. 

    We hope these podcast give both parents and homeschoolers insight into their homeschool journey, and assists them as they plan out their adult life after homeschooling.

  • TB 40: The Funny Boy - Part 5 The Disruptive Homeschooler
    Mar 3 2023

    Disruptions in the homeschool are inevitable. But when your homeschooler is doing the disrupting things can get out of control fast. In this series we are discussing what to do when our homeschooler insists on disrupting the day, and why they do it. 

    In today's podcast, part 5 of the series, Chaz and Christie are discussing the funny child. This child brings so much joy, and light hearted good times to the classroom. But a funny child out of control can also bring frustration and choas. 

    Chaz, the funny boy, and Christie (the mom who taught him) discuss what homeschooling is like for the funny boy, and for the rest of the family.  They discuss practical ways of helping the funny child work through their natural inclinations, while still learning the control and respect for themselves and others that are necessary for their interactions with others and their adult lives. 

    They discuss:

    • The need to gain the respect of the funny child
    • Teaching the funny child to tease without hurting others
    • Training your funny child to not use jokes to draw attention to their own weaknesses or sensitive areas
    • Classroom techniques for working with your funny child.

    We hope you enjoy this podcast and check out the rest of our series on:
