High school is one of the top reasons parents decide not to homeschool. There is a huge fear aspect attached to it.

"How could I ever homeschool the high school subjects?"

I've heard that one more times than I'd like to tell you. And to be honest, I used to say that too...until!!!! I started homeschooling high school.

But, I didn't go into it blindly: I had a plan and an end goal of the teen years. And guess what? It worked!

I'd like to share with you my approach and some of what I learned about homeschooing high school. Grab a pen and paper and let's get rid of the fear and come up with a solid plan.

Today, we're going to spend a few minutes running around the hamster wheel in your mind. You know, the one that yet again, says it's probably best to quit homeschooling. Or at the very least, it's what you want to do.

Honestly, I care too much about the success (and joy) of your homeschool to let you go down this path again. I'm not holding back in this episode because I really want to see you get to the other side of this thought (and behavior) pattern.

These days are truly too important to dwell even one more minute upon wanting to quit homeschooling.

Let's sit down and have a heart to heart.

328.Best Homeschool Advice When You're In The Thick Of The Home Education Years

When we take on the responsibility of home educating a child, a whole lot of "what if's?" pop into our head as homeschool moms. And we don't usually easily (or quickly) shake those.

It feels like a lot of pressure and we don't want to get anything wrong. And I get that.

But what if we could name the fears that you are facing and work through them one by one? That is the goal of today's episode: confront the top fears you are facing and really talk about how to overcome them.

I pray this episode blesses and equips you!

Let's be honest. There are so many opportunities nowadays and your days could get quite full. Should you take advantage of everything?

Today's episode lays out two distinct points to consider as you evaluate how you spend your time as a homeschool family. My hope is that it will provide clarity and peace for this and all your homeschool years.

There are so many ways to homeschool and more variations of methods than we can probably count. And that is one thing to love about homeschool: it is what you want it to be.

Over the years, I accumulated a couple of "hacks" that made homeschool much more personalized to my family and it also helped me manage our home education so much better.

These three simple shifts helped us to enjoy the year and I hope they are a help to you too. Grab a pen and paper to take a few notes and be sure to let me know which ones work for you!

We can all (and should) admit that homeschooling can be hard. There are highs and lows and concerns that moms have that are legitimate.

At times, it all just feels so overwhelming.

And you might feel stuck...wishing for someone to swoop in and wave a magic wand and everything will be better.

But what if I think that outsourcing is what is keeping you stuck in that cycle of concerns and problems? Today, I'm going to spell that out and show you what it looks like.

And by the end, there will be layers of hope in you that you don't need to outsource your child's education. I promise.

403.5 Things No One Tells You About Homeschooling

It can be so easy to slip away from our first goals of homeschooling and become so rigid in our home education. The pressure from state requirements, family members, the desire for them to excel, or just getting lost in the weeds of what we are really preparing our children for is very common.

One thing that gets pushed easily to the back burner is creativity.

Children are naturally creative and as adults, with the weight of the world on our shoulders and a home full of children, it doesn't always feel important to protect and encourage creativity.

Whether you need to add or embrace creativity...or are wondering if you're doing enough of it...I have a few ideas on what this could look like in your homeschool.

Take some notes and then run with it and get creative yourself!

The academics are important in homeschool, but it wasn't the only reason you decided to homeschool. Were you hoping to preserve your children's innocence, time, and heart?

If so, it can be so easy to fill up and maximize every moment of the homeschool years. And those may be filled with really good things, but what if you look back someday and realize they lost childhood because of your zeal?

I have a few questions for you to think on as you consider if there is room for childhood in your homeschool. And I think this is a really good time of the year to weigh all your plans against the big picture of their childhood years.
