Chapter

Welcome to "How to Be an Awesome Homeschooler!” 

In this episode, we dive into the joys and challenges of homeschooling. We ask the following questions: 
What does it mean to be successful in homeschooling?
How does that definition vary for each family?
What are you afraid of (in homeschooling)?
What does control have to do with it?
What can we do to help ourselves?

Robyn and Kelly share personal stories and insights on maintaining connection, open communication, and understanding family values. They emphasize the importance of reflecting on your homeschooling journey, addressing fears, and ensuring that your goals align with your family's needs. The significance of autonomy and self-advocacy for children is also discussed, especially as they grow older.
