Listen in today as we chat about incorporating music into your homeschooling - instruments, voice, dance, musical theater, music in unit studies, music during chore time, music to help with mental health, music for memorization, studying different genres of music, music throughout the world, artists, and so many other ways to incorporate music into learning and to reap the benefits of incorporating music into your lives.

Learning through music doesn’t have to be expensive. You may be able to swap with a musically-inclined parent, attend local contra dances as a family, have older homeschoolers teach an instrument or dance, or find low-cost ways to learn through community resources or churches.

Even the littlest kids can make musical instruments out of recyclables and learn about rhythm and beat, and can learn their address, days of the week, and how to spell their name easily when set to music.

In today’s episode we’re talking about how the need/want for perfection can kill our homeschool peace and wreak havoc in our homes. Whether that’s trying to make sure your child completes every single problem in every single lesson, or whether their diorama is Pinterest-worthy, or whether your house/kids/spouse look perfect, it’s setting you up for stress and failure. Today we’re talking about ditching perfectionism and embracing peace and joy. Strive for progress, not perfection.

Does your kid love playing sports? Are you curious about whether homeschoolers are able to play on sports teams, get scholarships, etc? Listen in as we talk about some various ways that homeschoolers participate in sports and why we think it’s important to learn the basics of sports whether your child is sports-minded or not (pssst, ours aren’t, but they still learn how to play various sports). We also talk about other ways that our kids have participated in PE activities without joining team sports.
