EP194: Does your homeschooling journey feel like it's all go, go, go? In this episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast, Jean shares a transformative idea that might be the very key to unlocking deeper learning for your children: the art of letting learning rest. Drawing from the experiences and insights from the annual Taproot Teacher Training, Jean explains how integrating periods of rest into your teaching schedule can lead to more meaningful and lasting educational outcomes. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner's lesson rhythm, this episode uncovers why it's vital to allow children time to absorb and process new concepts and why stepping back could actually propel your child's learning forward. Listen for examples you've probably experienced before. Plus three phrases you can say to yourself to help you remember the importance of letting the learning rest.

EP127: As homeschoolers, we want some kind of lesson plan ~ not too complicated. But something that will guide us. A simple plan or outline on paper.

Planning actually grounds us. And forces us to consider where we are, where we want to be, how we might get there, and what we want to do with our kiddos.

So how do you make a homeschool lesson plan?
