Little by Little Homeschool - Homeschooling, Motherhood, Homemaking, Education, Family

Normally, I keep my opinions about most homeschool topics to myself because we all need to come to our own conclusions. We each need to do what is best for our child, knowing there is no right or wrong way to homeschool, as long as each family is being true to their vision and goals.

But now that we've been chatting here on the podcast for over 2 years, I thought a little candid breakdown of my thoughts on a few "controversial" homeschool topics would be fun. Remember, we're all friends here and this is purely my take on things. You can have a completely opposite opinion and we can both still homeschool and be friends.

Are you ready to add a little spice? Well, it's all right here in this episode!

284. Skill Subjects vs. Content Subjects: What Are These? And What Do They Have To Do With Homeschooling?

As a homeschool mom, it can often feel intimidating to hear the jargon of the academic world. It can make you feel like you don't know enough to home educate your child.

I felt that same way too. And it's my goal in today's episode to give you clear explanations for skill and content subjects. Then, we'll talk more in-depth on what this looks like in your homeschool family.

Why does this matter? Because I know that your confidence will build when you begin to learn the terms and definitions that you'll hear tossed around within educational circles. But, more than that: once you know the information in today's episode, you'll have the freedom to homeschool with so much more joy.

What if homeschool is also about learning how to navigate the world? I think many families are starting to realize this.

Sure, there is much to gain from curriculum, but kids are so open to learning and we can open the world to them by being intentional about teaching them life skills.

Most of us went to school and our days were filled up for all of those formative years. And then, poof...we were expected to navigate the real world. I remember feeling lost in so many areas because I hadn't been fully prepared for life out on my own.

But, as homeschool parents, we can use these years and the time we have with our children at home to teach them the ins and outs of of life.

I've got a jam-packed episode for you today. Grab a pen and paper and get ready to take some quick notes!
