A Quirky Cooking Chats Podcast with Jo Whitton.
Thinking about homeschooling but not sure you’ll cope? Wondering how other homeschooling parents organise their day and how to get started?
Get a glimpse of what homeschooling ‘really’ looks like in this fun and encouraging chat with Joanne Bennet of Aussie Homeschool Adventures.
Joanne and I are keeping it real in this podcast, so join us for a chat about:
- Why we chose to homeschool
- Raising socially well-adjusted kids
- How to do it all (Hint: we don’t!)
- What a usual school day looks like, and how it changes as the kids grow older
- Homeschooling options
- Private or government schools and Home Education Units
- How to choose curriculums, what we have used, and good resources for school books
- What to do when the kids won’t listen or are having a bad day
- Transitioning from school to homeschooling (‘deschooling’)
- Preparing your homeschooled children for university
- Teaching kids a love of learning
- The importance of relationship building for a successful homeschool journey
- Teaching kids to be of service in their community
