In this week's podcast episode, we explore the concerns many new and seasoned homeschooling parents face, especially during the back-to-school season.
I'll share advice on how to address questions and criticisms about your homeschooling choices.
Key Takeaways:
- Ignore the common misconception that homeschooled children lack socialization and academic achievement, research supports the opposite.
- You know your children best and have their best interests at heart. Trust in your decision to homeschool.
- Feel confident in your choices and remember that you don't owe explanations to others.
- Understand that curiosity, concern, and ignorance are often behind questions about homeschooling. Respond with patience and reassurance.
